Which of these three are you most looking forward to returning the most? It's gotta be Bayley, for me.

At this point Asuka's really the only one of the four I actually like.
To be honest I probably miss Lacey more than I do Bayley or Alexa.

Probably Asuka I guess although I really don't miss any of them that much to tell the truth. Bayley and Alexa have both been pushed for years and them being back are just going make it harder for newer women to advance. Other then her short face run I've kind of always been indifferent towards Lacey and I don't see them really doing anything of significance with her when she gets back anyways. I know they've always liked her to an extent but her getting pregnant on the verge of a title run and a big WM title match makes think they aren't going to be interest in giving her any top level push again.

I expect both Asuka and Alexa to return at the Rumble. Not sure about Bayley’s timetable.

Poor Lacey can’t even get on the subject line!

Poor Lacey can’t even get on the subject line! Yeah I was confused when one of the first comments was "..of the 4.." and I was like "4? Oh."

As a wrestler: Asuka As a character: Bayley

Surely, it's Alexa Bliss!
> She was the the most entertaining part of the ThunderDome era. I want to see her wrestle in front of the crowd as much as just possible against fresh opponents (i.e. Liv Morgan, Bianca Belair, Toni Storm, Shotzi, and the list goes on...) before she retires - which I expect to happen in a year or three.

Asuka, the NXT pre-main roster version.

I'd welcome all 4 back, but it's really hard to get excited about anyone returning (especially in the women's division) when the booking will probably be the same.

I think the majority of them could do with alignment shifts upon returning.
Heel Bayley had ran it's course. I don't know if it's possible based on her recovery time but her returning as a face and being the person to dethrone Becky would be great. It's the one Horsewomen feud that they've barely touched on over the years.
Asuka I think will get lost in the shuffle as a face. You've got Sasha, Bianca, Alexa, Rhea and I think Becky and Bayley will also be babyfaces again within 6 months. I think her best shot at a main event push upon returning will be as a heel.
Lacey's heel character is dead in the water. The most over she ever got was during her brief face run. They never should've turned her back.
Alexa is already a face and I think she should stay one but go back to being regular Alexa and end the leftover Fiend stuff.
I'm probably looking forward to Bayley's return the most. She's not my favorite of the four but I think she's the one that will have the biggest impact and WWE will put more effort into.

I can see Asuka getting what I call the Sheamus special when she comes back. In that she got injured as a face and then in her return looks like she's going to save a babyface but then instead attacks the face and turns heel. They did this twice with Sheamus in 2015 and then again in 2020 against Ziggler and Shorty G respectively. I can see her getting a post Mania return where some babyface like Liv Morgan or Toni Storm is getting beat down and then Asuka comes out and you think she's going to save them and then attacks them instead.

Heel Asuka IMO has the biggest potential to be a game changer IF they go back to Pre-Main Roster killer Asuka. Let her be the force she was....all while you have a little someone on the other brand dominating in a similar fashion. Then you give everyone a small taste at SVS Then you have them clash again in the womens royal rumble and start the real build from here to Mania. Because IMO this is among the current land scape the biggest 1 on 1 dream match of all the women.

Bayley, easily. I like Asuka and Alexa too but the way that they’re presented doesn’t make me miss them tbh.

I'd argue Asuka has never really been a face. She's either been some sort of tweener or a straight-up heel

Alexa. She's really beat up, she's probably only got a few years left and there's tons of stuff I want to see her do before then. I'm convinced she has a strong babyface run in her as a singles star.

Lacey has an even worse case of Miz Syndrome, where their backstory should, by all rights, make them a babyface, but yet somehow doesn’t.

I always thought them not having her beat Bayley at Mania and making her the lead face on SD was such a missed opportunity. I thought it really killed her even before the stuff with Ric and Charlotte. Them turning her right back heel afterwards pretty much sealed her fate as far as her ever becoming interesting again. However I guess it's no surprise because God forbid they try to actually make a new star.
