Bayley Hogan...

[cuppacoffee - slight return]

Bear with me on this...

Bayley's a cool champion. She's in a hot feud. However, she's the best worker in that feud by a country mile. Neither Nia nor Eva seem ready to have the belt put on them.

Also, even when someone who is ready to carry the belt comes into the equasion, how do you get the belt off Bailey without heartbreaking footage of a weeping, distraught Izzy?

Well... I think the 1980s can help...

Bayley's the bright, colourful, child-friendly super-face merch shifter. Nia Jax is the seemingly unstoppable giant. Eva Marie is the spoiled, arrogant heel. The refs, we have established, are corrupt and can be bought.

So, can we read the future of "Bayley/Eva/Nia" as "Hogan/DiBiase/Andre" leading in to Wrestlemania IV?

What if... At Takeover London... The recently-heelish giant pulls off a ref-assisted, tainted win against the beloved champ, then the privileged, arrogant heel attempts to "buy" the title she can't win for herself. Jack Tunney stand-in, William Regal, strips Eva of the title. Calls for a tournament to declare a new champ.

Then, next Takeover down the line, you can have your Wrestlemania IV tournament. Enough booking shenanigans can occur in a tourney to take Bayley out of the running before the final but keep her strong (just like Hogan), thus sidestepping having to book a final which raises and crushes all the little HulkaBaileyManiacs' dreams.

Then, you can have Asuka / Emma / Alexa win (delete according to taste) and set up a Hogan / Savage super-fight further down the line when the champ has to face Bayley, the champ she never beat.

Something like that, anyway...

You do it anyway.
Bayley should fight valiantly.  Bayley should lose valiantly.
They can't ride the Bayley train forever, especially since NXT technically still is a developmental fed.

Because you know what NXT has in its back pocket?
Hype for Bayley's last match as an NXT performer.

And if I were WWE there's no way I'd miss out on having Bayley finally (and legitimately) lose the title and all the money I'd rake in just for hyping Bayley's last NXT match.

Bayley: HOW MUCH WAS THE PLASTIC SURGERY!?!?! THERE WAS TWO OF THEM MEAN BYRON!!!!

[I'm Team Bayley and Indi]

Nah this is Wrestlemania 4.

Bayley cuts a insane promo on Nia Jax about how the Bayley to Belly will have so much force, jack, it will break Full Sail off of Florida and she'll use the most hugable back in the world, Brother, to pull Izzy and the Bayleymaniacs to safety via the backstroke. And mind you HHH is holding onto Full Sail in one hand and his family in the other as he gives up material possessions.


THANK GOD WILLIAM REGAL IS A BAYLEYMANIAC!!!!![/i]

Have it happen at some big show far away from Full Sail, then move Bayley right to Raw. Just keep ducking Izzy.

Err... A big show far away from Full Sail? Like London, maybe?

And sure, move Bayley right to Raw. You're right. My Hogan analogy was perhaps a little too whimsical and playful for the serious booking meeting we're having.

I'll keep my silly ideas for some more suitable context, like a light-hearted thread on an Internet forum next time.

I was making a funny about keeping it a secret from Izzy, what did I do wrong? Help me help you

You joke, but all we need for Halloween is for Bayley to go as Hulk Hogan...or probably Ultimate Warrior.
I'm positive Bayley has at least one really good yet possibly insane Hogan-esque promo in her.

[111111]

Only if Asuka can be The Ultimate Warrior.

Is Bayley a mark who Hugged herself into a shoot??

And in 2042 Bayley's racist ranting leads to her blacklisting from the company.

Izzy has been to enough NXT shows she won't cry. She'll probably say something like "That was a bullshit booking decision, creative has no idea what they're doing" then watch some old ROH DVDs.

Aww... The world's littlest smark? That's a gimmick with money written all over it. Izzy, Mini-Meltzer!

"You know something, Bayliacs, first things first: I want the Doctor Amman to know, that the release forms have been signed. You're not responsible for the last couple of fractures in the forearm, sister. The main priority in the Yapapi Indian strap match is to have flexibility of the wrist that you strap to your opponent with, sister, because in the Yapapi Indian strap match, when you're in the four corners of the battlezone, the main priority is—is to get the body in the proper position for the strapation, dudes. 

When I get Nia Jax right where I want her, when I get her out of wind, sucking air, sweating from head to toe, I will call out to Indian strapmaster Izzy on ringside, and I will say to Izzy at ringside, 'Gimme Yapapi Indian punishment strap number one.' And as I strap your body, Nia Jax, as you scream to the heavens for mercy, as I see your skin start to bubble off your body, you will drop to your knees and you will say, 'Please, Miss Bayley, please, I can't take it anymore. Please, I'm sorry I crossed the line.' 

And as I hear you beg for mercy, Nia Jax, that's when I will call to the strapmaster Izzy at ringside for Yapapi Indian Punishment strapage number two. That's when the heavier bats will come out. That's when I will strap your skin and the flesh will bubble. That's when the flesh will start to peel from your hide. And as I see the raw pink meat on your back sister, I will take it to another level. I will transform from Bayley to Hollywood Bayley. I will double strap you with both fists, and you will scream to the heavens, 'Please, Hollywood, don't hurt me anymore.' And I will never stop!"
