5 things WWE must do with Sasha Banks

#2 Feud with Bayley

WWE have teased a feud between Bayley and Sasha Banks for a long time. But we never saw these two best friends engage in a full-fledged feud on the main roster.

They already share a lot of history and have enough reasons to turn on each other.

Before Banks took a hiatus from WWE, she was one half of the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions. However, it was mostly Bayley who did all the work and earned the honor of becoming the inaugural Women's Tag Team Champion alongside Banks.

WWE can revisit several such instances and gradually build-up to the feud between Banks and Bayley. The last time they were in such an intense rivalry, the two BFFs delivered an epic match at NXT: Takeover, Brooklyn and the rest is history.

There is an opportunity to recreate that feud with added stipulations. But WWE need to ensure that the narrative for the dispute is set at a moderate pace.

Remember Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho, and your reaction when the words ‘The List of KO’ were revealed on your TV screen?

Banks vs Bayley can fetch a similar response from the WWE Universe, if the creatives play their cards right.
