8. Sasha Banks Turning On Bayley

Then, out of nowhere, Sasha kicked Bayley in the noggin and sent her tumbling from one of the Chamber pods. This wasn't a full-blown heel turn as such, and yet it is one Bayley can hark back to and use to show some more fire pre-WrestleMania. Why wouldn't the huggable face want to boot Sasha's teeth down her throat after that?

Admit it, you (just like us) predicted that one of the two goodies would blindside the other when it went to that handicap situation against Bliss. Holding one's hand up, this writer believed it might be Bayley rather than Banks, although, in retrospect, Sasha is the more compelling villain.

Eagle-eyed viewers may have noticed that Banks chose to smash Bayley with a Frog Splash later in the match when she could easily have hit Alexa. That, along with Sasha's little victory dance after kicking Bayley in the first place, was a sweet little nuance that helped the match greatly.
