5 best storylines potentially building up for the year

2. Heels Bayley and Sasha Banks

Sasha Banks and Bayley made quite an impact last week

When Bayley and Sasha Banks teamed up in 2018 to less than tremendous results and with the expected breakup not coming even after months of teases, it was feared that they might have used up all the goodwill that they had built from the WWE Universe over the years. The Women's tag team title victory was sort of a given and when Banks took time off after Wrestlemania, it seemed like WWE had missed the trigger on these two. Not quite!

A reinvigorated Banks is the first serious challenger to Becky Lynch's Raw Women's title and she is finally playing her natural role of being a heel. While Bayley could have continued to prosper on her own as the babyface Smackdown women's champion, the shock that was generated when she blasted fellow Champion Lynch with those chair shots ensured that it was one of the best turns in recent WWE history. The fact that she proceeded to provide proper justifications for her actions at that week's Smackdown before pummelling Charlotte in the same manner perfectly rounded off the turn.

Sasha and Bayley are in cahoots again - but the storyline this time is far more engaging. With the likes of Becky and Charlotte going to be proxy faces, the Four Horsewomen can be truly expected to raise the standards of the women's division yet again.
