This week’s edition of Monday Night Raw has been quite interesting how things turned out to be. But the real shocker was waiting for us by the end of the night via a heel-turn. Bayley finally turned into a villain as she joined her former Tag Team partner to assault the Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch.

Bayley is the current Smackdown Women’s Champion who is set to defend his title against Charlotte Flair at Clash of Champions. This creates a heel vs. heel scenario on the blue brand that is indeed rare. But most importantly, it created a women’s roster where Smackdown does not have any prime babyface superstar in the lead. It’s pretty interesting as we have not seen this situation years.

However, this may be an intentional move by the WWE since they are bringing a suitable replacement shortly. As per the recent reports, the much-anticipated return of Liv Morgan will happen, soon where she’d occupy the babyface superstar’s spot that Bayley has left following her heel-turn. It should lead her to a big push after coming back, right away.

Liv Morgan, who was a member of the Riott Squad has been out of action after only one appearance on Smackdown Live following Superstar Shakeup. She suffered a loss at the hands of Charlotte Flair but promised to come back in a different avatar. Reports from cagesideseats.com have now suggested that the heel-turn of Bayley happened to eye Morgan’s return,

“Bayley’s actions from last night’s Raw triggered speculation about Liv Morgan being pushed as a face challenger on SmackDown, and that there’s a long term plan in place to split the NXT Horsewomen for a big reunion moment down the road.”

Additionally, reports also suggested that WWE is also planning to reunite the Four Horsewomen of NXT – Bayley, Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch, and Charlotte Flair. It will be a long drawn plan that starts with Bayley forming the dangerous alliance with Sasha Banks.

All of the four women superstars have memorable moments in the career except for Bayley who never got into that main-event level. So critics felt that changing her character will be the only way to elevate her to the very next level. Until now, we have seen only her Hugger side on Raw, just like the NXT days. But we will likely see a complete vicious side of her in the upcoming weeks that in turn will make heel a top heel of the roster.
