We're not 100% sure about this, but a face turn for Sasha Banks seems inevitable sooner or later. While Bayley has been a career-long babyface in WWE, that changed in 2019 when she turned heel and aligned with Sasha Banks.

Had WrestleMania 36 been in Raymond James Stadium, the Sasha Banks face turn and Bayley match would have likely happened then. However, the prevailing circumstances meant that the feud was delayed and we could see the blow-off match being delayed yet again.

However, if it isn't, then Extreme Rules would likely be the perfect time to pull the trigger on a face turn. She's been a heel since her return to the ring and feud with Becky Lynch. Sasha Banks is set to challenge Asuka for the RAW Women's Championship while Bayley defends the SmackDown Women's Championship against Nikki Cross.

While Sasha Banks becoming a double Champion would look good on paper, the long-term implications of it would create a bit of a booking mess. Either way, we don't expect her to beat Asuka, but there is a high chance of a face turn for The Boss. It would require a bit of a messy finish involving Bayley.

WWE has made it no secret that Sasha Banks has been eyeing Bayley's title as well, giving subtle hints over the last few months. We all know it's inevitable - it's just a matter of when and not if.
