3 reasons why Bayley needs to win the Women's Money In The Bank Ladder Match

2019 has been a landmark year for women's wrestling in WWE. After all, we witnessed an all-female main event at the biggest wrestling event of the year, WrestleMania 35, wherein Becky Lynch squared off against Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair with both the Raw and the SmackDown Live Women's Championships on the line. The image of 'The Man' Becky Lynch holding both the titles high at the end of the night will forever be engrained in the minds and hearts of the WWE Universe. The Women's Revolution has truly come about.

However, after the highs of WrestleMania 35, the overall interest towards the women's division in the WWE has significantly dipped, mostly owing to the departure of Ronda Rousey from the WWE (for now). "Becky2Belts" is something the WWE is trying hard to cash in on. However, every wrestler's meteoric rise has a certain expiration date.

Keeping this in mind, the Women's Money In The Bank Ladder Match scheduled for May 19, 2019 holds a greater significance for the future of the Women's Revolution, as it may very well determine the next main-event wrestler in the women's division. The match will feature former Money In The Bank winners, Carmella and Alexa Bliss, along with Naomi, Natalya, Dana Brooke, Mandy Rose, Ember Moon and Bayley.

Among the eight wrestlers involved, however, there is one wrestler whose victory would be the most beneficial for WWE. That is Bayley. Let us look at the reasons why.

#3 Bayley could be the next biggest babyface in the women's division

Bayley, without a doubt, was once one of the most endeared wrestlers in the women's division. Her charm coupled with her 'never-say-die' attitude made her extremely popular as the NXT Women's Champion. Her switch to main roster in 2016 was also initially received extremely well by the WWE Universe who expected her amicable persona to shine in the big leagues as well.

However, despite being a 1-time Raw Women's Champion, Bayley lost her way due to terrible booking decisions and weekly segments. The fearless character was replaced with a rather timid persona and her popularity took a serious hit due to it. A feud with Sasha Banks was teased for months and months, however nothing ever materialized. They finally settled down on becoming a Tag Team and went on to become the first-ever Women's Tag Team Champions.

With Bayley going solo once again, it is an opportunity for WWE to revive the fandom and support which 'The Hugger' once had. Despite the questionable booking decisions, Bayley remains one of the best wrestlers in the women's division and is someone who can have a connection with the fans as a babyface. A Money In The Bank victory could definitely revive her career as a singles wrestler.

#2 Women's division needs more main-event stars

As mentioned earlier, after the highs of WrestleMania 35, the women's division, as a whole, is currently going through a lean phase with lacklustre responses from the audience and reduced screen time on the weekly shows, Raw and SmackDown Live. The departure of Ronda Rousey has been the single most influential factor for this.

Despite the popularity of Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair, their feud has reached a saturation point. Their match at Money In The Bank should probably be the last time these two square off in the coming future. After this, WWE would be in a desperate need of main event stars. The emergence of Lacey Evans is definitely a welcome move and the return of Alexa Bliss to full-time is also promising. However, the women's division needs more star-power.

This is where someone like Bayley can step up as one of the main-event stars in the division. With proven qualities as an in-ring performer and on the mic, Bayley can definitely uplift the overall interest level towards the women's division.

#1 Bringing Sasha Banks back to the fold

Besides the departure of Ronda Rousey, the sudden exit of Sasha Banks has left a huge void in the women's division. The biggest reason for her exit was Bayley and Sasha's loss to The IIconics at WrestleMania 35 to lose the Women's Tag Team Championship, even though they were seemingly set for a long run with the titles.

While WWE would ideally want one of their most popular female superstars back in the fray, it may be unlikely that she would come back if WWE has no significant plans for her. This is where Bayley's victory at Money In The Bank could come into play.

Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, Bayley and Sasha Banks have been known famously as 'The Four Horsewomen' of WWE. In the recent years, Charlotte and Becky have outshone the rest of the two and become the biggest stars in the company.

A main-event push for Bayley could allow the WWE to bring up the 'The Four Horsewomen' as a major component in their storylines in the future. WWE can then use this to placate its relations with Sasha Banks with a prospect of reviving The Four Horsewomen and giving Banks a main event push along the way.
