SmackDown Women's Champion Bayley will be putting her title on the line at this year's WrestleMania.

While the original plans were to have Bayley face Sasha Banks in a one-on-one match, they were scrapped in order to have a multi-women match instead.

As per Dave Meltzer of the Observer, either Sasha Banks or Bayley will turn babyface after WrestleMania and have a program with each other. Both Bayley and Banks work as a team as of now and portray themselves as best friends.

Here is what Meltzer stated:

The gimmick is, is that Bayley is all mad about a six-way but Sasha, who is supposed to be Bayley's best friend, first was mad until her name was announced in the match and now she's sort of smiling and so you kind of get that thing.

He further explained:

It's actually the kick-off of, you know the company actually wanted to do Bayley and Sasha at WrestleMania, and to their credit, given that there is no time to build it up like literally, this came up a week or two ago, and they just thought, well we just can't do a match after four weeks of no build, so they kind of got it pushed with like, okay, we'll do the six-way which would like be the start and we'll do the singles match when it's not so rushed. So that's kind of where that is.
