...because the SmackDown Women's Title mix would already be set.

2020 was a cracking year for Bayley. The Performance Center era breathed new life into her heel run, and it let the then-champ (and sometimes double champ) show more personality than ever before. 2020 then peaked with her turn on and feud with Sasha Banks at Hell In A Cell.

Since then, WWE has moved on from Bayley as the top woman on Friday nights, but it's time for her to reclaim that throne. Miss. 'Ding Dong' (OK, that's an unfortunate nickname that should not stick) must win the women's Rumble and immediately announce that she wants revenge on Sasha at WrestleMania 37.

There isn't a better rivalry on SmackDown anyway. Carmella is a placeholder, and Banks needs something big time for Tampa. Bayley is perfect - these women also work so well together that one could watch them wrestle time and time again. They've defo got at least one more big match in them.
