I get that they're building a Bayley/Charlotte feud and maybe a Becky/Sasha feud via Nattie. Still it seems odd that these former teammates/champions are on the same show for the first time in four months and one of them craps all over that team and buries it. Then the other just comes out and has a match. I would think they'd at least have a backstage interview or something. I realize WWE is not very good at focusing on more than one storyline at a time (and they probably want to keep them apart for the inevitable feud) but this seems like a huge missed opportunity, especially after Sasha's kayfabe explanation for her absence. Even just Sasha walking past a Bayley interview and Bayley telling her to eat a bag while Sasha smirks and continues on would be something. Instead, nothing.

What the reason should be: To keep them away from each other to build up an eventual feud at a big PPV.
What the reason is: They don't give enough of a shit.

If I had my way it would actually mean something....like Bayley secretly approves of everything Sasha is doing and it would lead to a Bayley heel turn where she doesn't abandon her best friend but embraces it by following in Sashas footsteps and it would explains why neither confronted the other and why Sasha has not actually bashed on Bayley since her return.
But this be WWE..so the actual reason there is none because WWE can't be assed with things like logic.

Eh, I’m glad it didn’t happen.
One of my pet peeves in wrestling is that “a heel must hate every face” and vice versa.
Maybe Sasha and Bayley are still tight? Why not?

All they had to do was have a segment with them passing in the hallway. Even if they said nothing to each other and just stared each other out. You know something logical like that.

We don't do small details anymore. We fill that time up with recaps.

I at least wanted it addressed because all of her talk regarding the tag titles sure did seem like a diss on Bayley. What made RAWs in 2000 great was all of the stories intermingling. Yes, Bayley and Sasha have different feuds at the moment. But their characters are really interlinked. Hell, the last time we saw Sasha was teaming with her at Mania. Even just Bayley mentioning that Sasha wouldn't talk to her for months would be better than nothing.

Because in WWE, everyone outside of the wrestler you're feuding with doesn't exist.

Sasha and Bayley can only dream of having the kind of friendship Bliss Cross do.

Least Bayley and Sasha used to have each others back until WM I think it's pretty obvious what happened there. That damn Bayley ran her over.

I'm kind of relieved. Bayley doesn't need the baggage that is Sasha at this juncture. If she beats Charlotte, then sure, by all means. She already exorcised Alexa Bliss, she's crossing names off her list at the moment.

WWE clearly want Sasha to be the heel in this feud with Becky. Bayley and Sasha have still been very chummy on social media. Then just flat out not getting along out of nowhere wouldn't make a lot of sense. Then being overly friendly on air runs the risk of Sasha's image being softened when WWE doesn't want that or Bayley's uber white meat good girl image being damaged. WWE clearly has no serious intention of giving Bayley any real edge. This sort of interaction requires some finesse and subtlety, 2 things WWE's writers clearly know nothing about.

I kinda want to see them tease that they are going to fight each other but swerve everyone by joining forces and becoming power trip heels. Heel Bayley is $$$.

Welcome to WWE, where everyone is only involved in one angle at a time. Ah, the old days of NXT when Kevin Owens had about four feuds going on simultaneously...

To be clear, I'm not even wanting Bayley to call Sasha out or anything in particular. Just a quick crossing of paths and acknowledgement or something.
