WWE News: Reason Behind Failure of Sasha Banks-Bayley Feud 1

WWE fans always wanted to witness a feud between Sasha Banks and Bayley.

It was considered to be a dream feud for them ever since these two came to the main roster. The main reason behind the same was their benchmark performances at NXT roster. They delivered the first Iron Woman match at NXT Takeover Brooklyn in 2015.

The fans must remember it thoroughly that it is the benchmark performance pulled off by the two ladies. For a portion of the WWE Universe, the intense rivalry between them could not have a better end than this match which is the perhaps the best contest in the NXT as well as entire WWE history.

Quite expectedly, the expectations were high from them on the main roster. But, perhaps they had nothing left in the tank to deliver. The much-anticipated feud between Sasha Banks and Bayley finally happened before the Wrestlemania 34 event.

We started to think that it might set up the first non-title match consisting two women at the ‘show of shows’.

But, we regret to say, we have hardly got a quality singles match between them, so far. The potential reason behind the failure of the feud is the bad timing of the rivalry. Wrestlemania is such a time where the marquee feuds get the spotlight. Here, we can’t expect them to steal the show, at all.

Some might say that the post-Wrestlemania season would have been good for the rivalry. But, then the Superstar Shakeup happened to change the landscape of both Raw and Smackdown roster. Several new names arrived on the roster who needed the footages to cement their position on the flagship show.

Check out the updates from SportsKeeda.com regarding this,

“We have seen the Riott Squad and Ember Moon getting the attention they deserve, introducing them to the Raw women’s division and giving them relevance on Monday Nights. They’re the shiny new stars, and the veterans have had to take a small back-step while this takes place, including Bayley and Banks.”

Turning Sasha Banks into a heel would have been a good way to make thing interesting. But, after so many days, this turn would seem irrelevant as if it is being forced into the storyline.

Also, both of them will be excluded from the championship storyline for now. It eliminates the final solution to make the feud work. So, it’s safe to say that the dream feud was ultimately converted into the garbage.
