WWE Hell in a Cell 2019: 5 reasons why Bayley lost SmackDown Women's Championship to Charlotte Flair

#1 Move to NXT

"Heyyyyyyyy Bayley!"

Many believe that WWE creatives did not do justice to Bayley’s character ever since her move to the main roster.

She was immensely popular during her NXT days and was quite charismatic. Fans still sing “Hey Bayley” at live events to cheer for their favorite Superstar and the never-ending chants echo across the arena.

But how much of that do we really see on the main roster? The same Bayley that was so over with the NXT fanbase, struggles to fetch the attention of the WWE Universe every once in a while.

This has happened to a lot of Superstars but last week’s surprising incident has now opened new doors of opportunity. In the previous episode of NXT, WWE Superstar Finn Balor made his return to the Black and Yellow brand and declared that he was there to stay.

Balor was subjected to pointless bookings on the main roster. But now that he is back at home, his character will get the push that it deserves.

Maybe WWE has something similar in mind for Bayley. The Hugger was a part of the WWE 'Match of the Year' when she fought against Sasha Banks at NXT Takeover: Respect (2015).. Given the right storyline, she can recreate similar magic in exciting new feuds.

But the question remains, can the main roster really afford to lose her from the main roster?
