Bayley is one of the most lovable characters on the present WWE roster. She is the naturally gifted babyface name on the female division who loved to give hugs and spread a smile to the fans especially to the young fans. We can’t even imagine her without this gimmick that is attached to her since her debut in the NXT division.
Since her childhood, she has been a hardcore fan of the WWE, and this real-life fan characteristic got retained that took her to the top back in the developmental territory. But, it certainly failed to do any wonder for her coming after the main roster picture. Unless a character change is reserved, there’s no way her spot can be saved in the women’s division.
WWE creative might be thinking the same, right now. Hence, a major swerve might be in-store for her character soon. RingSideNews.com is the source which hinted the trigger might be pulled for Bayley, finally, in case a feud against Sasha Banks is reserved.
The tease of the same was hinted at the Royal Rumble PPV. Sasha Banks was the one to eliminated Bayley, her on-screen best-friend planting the seeds of the much-anticipated rivalry between two former NXT Women’s Champions. While setting up this feud, one of them is bound to turn into a heel.

In general, the thinking is The Boss is the one to turn into the villain since she is tested in this gimmick. Back in the NXT days, she played the heel character better than anybody, and this might be the best thing to do for her on-screen persona, too. But, Bayley turning into a villain might garner much attention from the crowd.
The Mixed Match Challenge contest might help the creative team in this process since she is teaming up with Elias. This partnership is likely not to be over as the team will take on John Cena and Nikki Bella at the Madison Square Garden event on March 16th. Partnering with a heel like Elias will make the Hugger a heel.
Check out the updates from the source,
“WWE sent the card for Madison Square Garden, and one of the matches on the Madison Square Garden card on March 16th is John Cena & Nikki Bella vs Bayley & Elias, which sounds like Bayley may be going heel. So perhaps the Bayley/Sasha thing will be Bayley turning and not Sasha… Maybe.”
