5 potential babyface opponents for heel Bayley in the future

#4 Candice LeRae

Candice LeRae

LeRae is one of the biggest babyfaces down in developmental. She came to NXT back in 2017, and despite not being promoted as a serious NXT Women's title contender, she stayed in the limelight thanks to her involvement in one of the biggest rivalries in NXT history: Johnny Gargano vs Tommaso Ciampa. Recently, LeRae got into a feud with her former friend Io Shirai, after the latter snapped following her defeat against Shayna Baszler and attacked LeRae.

WWE could give a good rub to LeRae by putting her in a short-lived feud against a heel Bayley. It could be an interesting rivalry, as LeRae is someone Bayley used to be and it would be like Bayley battling her innocent self of the past.

#3 Dana Brooke

Dana Brooke

It was reported a while ago that Dana Brooke is the hardest worker in WWE, and tries her best to get noticed by the top brass. Brooke showed some promise in her very short feud against Ronda Rousey on the road to WrestleMania, which ended with a squash. Recently, Brooke was busted open in a match against Sarah Logan on Main Event. The two recently teamed up on Main Event in a losing effort against The IIconics.

Brooke is someone who deserves at least a short run in the main event scene. With the Wild Card rule still not completely removed, why not utilize this situation and give her a shot at Bayley?

The feud would end with Bayley coming on top, but will at least give Brooke to do something worthwhile for some time, and would be a nice break for her from her weekly exploits on Main Event.
