Bayleys heel turn has been a massive flop. I don’t know why they thought turning her heel would be a good idea. She’s too much of a natural face. In fairness, her face run was fizzling out too. She got a great reaction for the cash-in at MITB but her crowd responses died even with being booked strong enough to beat Alexa/Nikki two-on-one. I was looking forward to the match, but remember how dead the crowd was for her vs. Ember at SummerSlam? I think it'll be Bayley vs. Sasha as well, though. While I think Sasha's better as a heel, face Sasha vs. heel Bayley could at least be somewhat interesting.

I’ve mentioned it before, but it came off badly that Bayley’s gimmick was about ‘elevating the division’ and having fresh opponents who weren’t Alexa or Charlotte, and then rather than putting any effort into the Ember build on social media, she spent it trying to get Trish Stratus’s attention instead.

Multiwoman match. High possibility to take place on the kickoff

I really can't imagine a crowd anywhere that as presented was going to care about Bayley / Ember. It was a dull slog of a match and Ember's been completely irrelevant for a long time now. Like, I feel like she's always struggled with connecting, but it really killed her dead being beaten by Asuka at every turn, winning the vacant belt as a consolation prize, then quickly (well, in like six months, but that's like two Takeovers) losing it to Baszler in a bad feud.
Then of course her main roster booking didn't help because it rarely helps anybody. Remember when she was Nia's little buddy who grew up idolizing her?

Wonder where this leaves Charlotte. No way she isn’t on the card

Makes it rather hard to know what they might be doing with her. Though assuming she's supposed to be face I wouldn't be too stunned if they have her win the Rumble and call up Baszler through other means, since she has unfinished business with Bayley. That or random throw-together with some other woman to face Asuka and Kairi.

I think Becky's definitely got an appointment with either Rousey or Baszler, more likely Baszler. She has unfinished business with both of them and Becky / Charlotte's been thoroughly beaten into the ground.

Sasha vs Bayley is the only logical option, so it’ll end up being some multi women clusterf*** instead.

That or random throw-together with some other woman to face Asuka and Kairi. Shayna beat Bayley at Survivor Series. There's no unfinished business there. Becky attacked Shayna after the match, there's the unfinished business. I'm actually going to predict now that the women's battle royal will end up being for the women's title. If Bayley's champion by then, she says she's mowed through everyone else and can single handedly beat anyone so she is forced to out her title on the line against the rest of the roster.

Toni vs. Becky is a dream match of mine, and I know Toni's said several times before she wants to have a match with her. I think heel Becky vs. Toni could be money, maybe not this year but next.
