When Bayley returns...

[agent817]

Which show should she be on? Should she be a face or heel? I could imagine that when she returns, she could have a return similar to Seth Rollins in 2016 when he had a massive pop but remained a heel and said that he didn't miss the fans and stuff. However, I wonder how she could go about being a face with a different persona. She doesn't need to go back to the hugger gimmick, that's pretty much done with.

What do you think?

It’s hard to say, there are still so many moving parts in spite of all the staleness. Like, my first thought was RAW so she could possibly feud with Lynch, but you have to consider whether or not Bayley will be face or heel, whether Lynch will be face or heel, whether Lynch is actually still champion or not in which case we end up re-treading old ground with (most likely) Belair… On the other hand, if Rousey ends up champion on SmackDown, they’re gonna need capable heels to carry her for a couple of months at a time, and Bayley is right at the top of that list for that thankless job.

Which show is Sasha on? Put her on the show that's not that.

If you put her on Raw she gets squashed by Bianca, Smackdown by Ronda so...NXT UK?

Ahh, so she can get squashed and nobody would be watching so nobody would know it happened, clever.

Squashed by Jinny, gotcha.

Just normal NXT.

Bring back the hugger gimmick, but make it more sexual so it fits in. Then she can be lectured at by Joe Gacy regarding consent before he strokes Harland in a homoerotic way.

Everyone wins.

Wendy Choo tells Bayley some "bedtime stories".

Bayley is both sorely needed on both shows and yet I have a very hard time seeing where she fits right now, Ronda and Becky with a dash of Bianca dominates RAW and Smackdown is all Charlotte/Ronda and this dumbass Naomi/Sonya feud that DOESN'T END.

The issue is there is no undercard to speak of. The most feasible option to me is finding her a tag partner and taking the tag titles, because god knows the belts could use them having a grand total of ZERO TEAMS to fight for them right now...

Pretty sure she'll end up on Smackdown if anything, so they have another heel for Ronda to run through. Especially if USA Network/NBC Universal get their way, as they apparently want Asuka on RAW.

But I do agree that regardless of where both of them end up, neither of them are going to be holding singles gold any time soon. Same goes for any NXT callups. It's going to be the Becky/Bianca show on RAW, and Ronda/Charlotte show on Smackdown. Until at the very least, Summerslam. Which means there is no space for other women.

This is why I'm not a fan of Bianca getting another dominant title run. She's already ran over the entire RAW Women's Division almost multiple times (with Becky being the final victim before she reclaims the title). Which means there is literally no one credible to face her, unless they call up someone like Raquel or Io who win the title on their first night against her. Doesn't help that Bianca's character has grown incredibly stale, and she's been cooling off massively.

[Mozenrath]

Honestly, wherever they put her, she'd figure it out. Bayley is honestly the best of the Horsewomen when it comes to finding a niche.

[Ben Wyatt]

If they gave even the slightest crap about the Women's tag titles, I'd say give her a partner (anyone other than Sasha because I am NOT doing that again) and occupy her there for a while.

They'll probably just bring her back and pair her in a romance storyline with...uh....let's just say Omos.

[Finish Uncle Muffin’s Story]

A move to RAW might help Bayley out - there's more talent for her to work on that show. She can also do the whole Ding Dong Hello shtick to help further other stories, too.

Guessing she's going to be the big Raw after 'mania return and it's going to be her attacking Ronda.

Ronda is going to be on Smackdown going forward. Not RAW.
