6 things WWE subtly told us on SmackDown: Huge betrayal teased from popular star, Rivalry ends with weird stipulation match (January 31st, 2020)

#2 A filler feud for Bayley

Bayley came out and instantly began to insult Lacey Evans and got heat for how she beat her in front of her daughter. She also slammed her for injuring Sasha Banks and making her miss the Royal Rumble match (which she was reportedly not medically cleared for).

We expected Carmella to be the name to challenge Bayley after Royal Rumble given their history, but now that we think of it, WWE made the right call in not having a rushed feud between the two.

Bayley and Carmella (real-life best friends) have a history together and it would be better for them to have a prolonged feud. Which is why we wonder why she wasn't given Evans' spot instead.

However, it was the returning Naomi who confronted her and got the better of her. Because she's still fresh on the roster again, she got a great reaction and is the perfect candidate to be Bayley's "filler" feud before heading into WrestleMania 36.
