WWE might double up on the grand returns at SummerSlam.

Bayley has been out for what feels like forever (just over a year), and it'd be awesome to see her back where she belongs near the top of the women's division. Following Bianca Belair's successful title defence vs. a ticked-off Becky Lynch, ex-hugger Bayley should emerge for a staredown with the champion.

Like Charlotte, WWE could even have Bayley attack someone else to throw everyone off the scent. Then, after dispatching 'Big Time Becks', she'd turn her head again and glare right at Bianca. Or, more accurately, Bayley would be staring a hole straight through that Raw Women's Championship.

Last year, this promotion got a lot of mileage out of surprise returns for Becky and Brock Lesnar. Bringing back Bayley this way would continue that theme and help set up a marquee Raw Women's Title feud between Belair and Bayley.

They deserve another crack at the whip there.
