When Should Bayley Debut on WWE’s Main Roster?

With the news of Bayley staying down in NXT for a bit longer, the question now arises, when should Bayley make her transition over to the main roster?

For the last few months, rumors have ran rapid about the debut of Bayley to the main roster. Many believed that after losing her NXT Women’s Championship to Asuka at NXT TakeOver: Dallas, Bayley would debut on Raw the night after WrestleMania.

The night after WrestleMania we saw the debuts of Enzo Amore and Big Cass, and Apollo Crews and throughout the week, we saw The Vaudevillians and Baron Corbin. However, we did not see Bayley as many of us believed we would.

The plot got crazier when last Monday on Raw, Dana Brooke made her debut to the main roster before Bayley. Many fans saw this as a slap in the face, as the Huggable One has been in NXT and has paid her dues much longer than Dana Brooke did.

WWE has a plan for Brooke on the main roster, however. With Tamina and Naomi both on the shelf with injuries, WWE needed a new heel female team. The company decided to repair Emma and Dana in this role. The duo was a major heel team down in NXT.

WWE has been emphatic that they will not call a superstar up from NXT unless they have something for them. They had a plan for Brooke, which is why she is up and Bayley is still in NXT.

The former NXT Women’s Champion is a major draw, and WWE waiting for the time is right is the perfect thing to do. Fans may be getting restless but this is the best thing for her. Bayley’s debut should be viewed as big and monumental. So the question now arises, when is the best time for her to arrive on the main roster?

The best time for Bayley to make her debut would be the night after SummerSlam. With the Women feuds in WWE set for the next few months, she should make her debut towards the end of the summer.

With Sasha Banks and Charlotte currently penciled in as the feud for the Summer, it makes sense for Bayley to debut when their feud concludes. It seems the plan is for the Nature Girl and the Boss to battle at SummerSlam.

This should be the conclusion of their summer feud, and the next night on Raw, Bayley can debut. This would be a huge debut and it would make the night after Summerslam a must watch.

Bayley could then enter a feud with either Sasha or Charlotte. Either way, we would be guaranteed a great rivalry heading into the fall. With her accomplishments in NXT, Bayley should be placed instantly into the top Women’s feud.

As for now, Bayley should continue to feud with Asuka. With their rematch likely for NXT TakeOver in June, Bayley should once again put her over. She could then enter a final feud with Nia Jax before joining the main roster at the end of August.

Bayley is a future star on the main roster and her debut should both make sense and be monumental. With the night after SummerSlam becoming a major night in WWE, Bayley should make her debut at the Barclays Center on Raw this August.
