What’s the story?

In a recent interview with The Mirror, Bayley opened up on a myriad of topics.

Most prominently, Bayley spoke about a possible feud with Sasha Banks.

In case you didn’t know…

Bayley, Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch & Charlotte Flair are highly respected for their in-ring work over the past few years.

They’re well-known in professional wrestling circles as the Four Horsewomen and praised for their immaculate mat wrestling skills. For instance, Bayley’s NXT Women’s Championship-winning performance against Banks at NXT TakeOver: Respect in 2015 is considered to be one of the best matches in NXT history.

The heart of the matter

One ought to note that this interview was conducted before Bayley left Sasha Banks to fend for herself in a Multi-Woman Tag Team Match on this week’s edition of RAW.

Banks betrayed Bayley at the Elimination Chamber PPV, following which the latter turned against Banks on RAW on an ensuing night—with both Superstars teasing a feud with one another. Addressing the possibility, Bayley stated—

"I would love for that to happen and I really do think that we have such a great chemistry and it's just a natural bond, that it doesn't matter when it happens, we can pick it up anywhere…Not to sound cocky or anything, but I just think we have a really good connection. Whenever we have the time to tell that story, we would be able to, and last night after what she did, I think now is a good time! So I would love to start that up and get some payback."

Furthermore, the vast majority of professional wrestling experts now believe that Bayley & Banks are indeed set to engage in a rivalry on RAW in the days to come.

What’s next?

Both Superstars presently compete on the WWE’s RAW brand. Bayley and Banks’ potential feud could culminate in a huge match at Wrestlemania 34 in April.

Author’s take

Bayley may very well be one of the most underrated talents in sports-entertainment today.

The Huggable One possesses great in-ring chemistry with Banks, and their feud could be pure magic, and potentially steal the show at Wrestlemania 34.
