It remains to be seen whether or not Bayley's ascent to the main roster will be temporary or not. After all, she was omitted completely from last week's WWE Draft, so she doesn't have a concrete home on Raw or SmackDown just yet. Of course, that could change, but it seems a little soon to be tampering with the rosters of both shows.

Even if it was just for one night, Bayley looked amazing at Battleground. The crowd were enthusiastic for her appearance, and she naturally didn't look out of place in there with the likes of Sasha Banks and Charlotte. These are women she has extensive experience of working alongside in NXT.

For now, Bayley must be considered part of the main roster. If she makes a second showing on Monday Night Raw, things will feel a little firmer in terms of her staying power. At the very least, it was a great surprise to have her team with Sasha Banks against both Charlotte and Dana Brooke.

Fans really got a kick out of that one, and it was all enhanced by happening early in the show.
