9. Bayley Almost Costs The Team

Damage CTRL should probably pick up the win at Survivor Series so recent additions like Asuka and Kairi Sane look meaningful. Also, and this is part of the problem with the entire showdown, the babyface side is rather thrown-together. Charlotte Flair and Bianca Belair especially will need a bit of tweaking post-show.

It'd be cool to see Kairi make the difference to sell her importance to the cause, and it'd be even better if one-time CTRL leader Bayley almost cost the team a banner triumph. Post-match, Bayley should receive a few frosty looks from other members (including IYO SKY, who has emerged as the new leader by default).

No hugs all round for you, Bayley.

Of course, this is all part of the story spinning into WrestleMania season. Bayley is on the outs, IYO has seized control, and newer members like Asuka and Sane think the original leader has got to go. WWE can put that across even in victory at WarGames.
