I don't get it. At all. It's kind of a small horse, I mean what am I missing? Am I crazy?

They started teasing issues back before 'Mania (and I wanna say even earlier than that) and we're now months into this with nothing really happening outside of 'Sasha/Bayley volunteers the other one into a match (or agrees to a tag match) and the other one isn't thrilled about it'. That's it. No other build.
Between this, and their general stop/start over the last 2 years, I just don't care about them feuding. Slow burns are fine, but even then you need to actually start progressing things
EDIT: Their actual act is great. The ring work? Same. I'm strictly talking their eventual feud.

They're one of the few acts I actually give a shit about on the main roster.

They’re being fun. The only thing I’m not looking forward to is the eventual breakup.

they've been teasing this breakup for like 3 years. I am way beyond the point of caring when they shockingly finally do.
Hell they've pulled the damned trigger on it multiple times only to walk it back with a just kidding! the next week...

Maybe this should just always be part of their gimmick. Like how RVD and Sabu were best friends and rivals at the same time, and pretty much always have and will be.

Hell they've pulled the damned trigger on it multiple times only to walk it back with a just kidding! the next week... The wrestler turning on their partner out of jealousy was once an awesome trope because you didn't expect it. Shawn turning on Marty, Ole on Dusty, they worked because most teams just didn't do that. Now it's expected. If anything, I want someone to turn on their partner and then get (kayfabe) suspended or fired by their gm, saying that they were hired as a tag team and, with this break-up, there's not a spot for that person to take up anymore.

That terrible feud of theirs (however long ago it was) was a minor reason for me to stop watching.

On the contrary, I'm all for the inevitable Sasha Banks title run, as my favourite of the four Horsewomen. I also like the Nikki/Alexa duo, and Asuka/Kairi/sometimes Io.
In fact, most of them, bar Lacey Evans.

They have teased a break up about 7 times in the past 3 years so no one is likely to care, but hopefully this just gets us to Summerslam which will be the 5 year anniversary of Takeover Brooklyn and then move them on. I thought out of interest id see how many singles matches Sasha and Bayley have had on TV and the result is:
9th January 2014 - NXT 30th January 2014 - NXT 13th March 2014 - NXT 17th July 2014 - NXT 31st July 2014 - NXT 25th September 2014 - NXT
28th August 2015 - Takeover Brooklyn 7th October 2015 - Takeover RESPECT
6th March 2017 - RAW 24th July 2017 - RAW
12th February 2018 - RAW 16th April 2018 - RAW
So they havent had a singles match in over 2 years and only had 4 matches on the main roster, which is interesting.

I'm loving them now and just don't want them to break up. Because my thing is...who is the heel? Bayley is just really coming into her own as a heel and Sasha as a face in general doesn't really work.

I want them to be best friends, maybe lovers, champions, and Golden Role Models for the rest of forever.

Not a big fan of Bayley can’t wait for her to lose the title.

I finally love them
They absolutely don't give a f*** and is just leaning hard into being clowns and just having fun. One of those things where neither should really turn face because both are better as heels

Haven't watched much these segments in a while to say fair answer. I don't exactly look forward to these two either tagging or facing each other. It was like beaten to death before they started this all again. But at least it's a program for women which seems to lead somewhere, so that's a bonus / wish they could do stuff like this with other gals too.

Bayley's heel act is just the absolute pits; forced and grating in a "change the channel immediately" way. Sasha is there, I guess. I was barely tuning in to begin with, even less since they've been given so much screen time.

Not watching, but Bayley and Sasha are great, fight me.

Everything they're doing just seems like filler en route to their breakup. I can't be remotely invested in any of Bayleys defenses because she's absolutely not losing the title to anyone not named Sasha

By that rationale do we care about any of Sasha's various other major matches? We know she wasn't beating Io Shirai. But if she's beating Bayley we know she won't beat Asuka either. I guess they could just unify the titles.

Said it lastnight that the curse of this entire thing is that one of them has to turn babyface just as they are finally doing the best work of their careers as heels and neither is reaally any good as a babyface.
And if Kairi is leaving then that will hurt the most because she is the most suited to be the babyface of this division more than any other woman on the main roster.
But if Kairi stays then there is really no need to turn either Sasha or Bayley face since the top babyface role is perfectly filled for the long term IMO.
