#5 Bayley retains the SmackDown Women’s Championship

Bayley is the longest-reigning SmackDown Women’s Champion (combined) in WWE history as she has held the title for more than 309 days. She has outperformed most of her counterparts in the SmackDown locker room and has established her dominance in the last few months. Ever since her heel turn, Bayley has also resorted to old-school tricks in order to steal a victory.

Therefore, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Bayley relying on one of those heelish methods yet again to retain her title at WrestleMania. In the Fatal 5-way Elimination match, she can employ her smart techniques near the apron to eliminate her opponents. It will be understandable if Bayley starts getting desperate to retain her title in this fashion since she will have no Champion’s advantage.

Moreover, with her best friend Sasha Banks inside, it is quite possible for Bayley to carry out her villainous intentions with ease. Except for Tamina, Bayley has had a history with all those who are set to challenge her for the title. Hence, any elimination at the hands of the Champion will further leave room for scripting yet another title feud.
