4 Predictions for WWE Raw: July 24, 2017

The Huggable One Overcomes The Boss

A few months ago, fans eagerly awaited a clash between good friends Bayley and Sasha Banks. The WWE Universe had suspected a heel turn in the works for the Boss, who at the time was watching Bayley live out her dream of becoming Raw Women’s Champion. Watching Bayley overcome the obstacle that was Charlotte Flair must’ve been tough for Banks, who had continuously tasted success only to have it taken away by the Queen.

Because of this, it seemed that it was only a matter of time before jealousy entered the mix of this friendship. To date this hasn’t happened, but now an opportunity has arisen for it to do so. Both women want to face Alexa Bliss for the gold, and yet only one person can go on and receive the title shot. Odds are that individual is going to be Bayley, which will allow Banks to begin her transition to a heel status. Here’s how it could all transpire.

If the Boss loses here tonight, she’ll no doubt support Bayley for the time being. Come SummerSlam though, Banks would be ready to regain the spotlight for herself. Either she’ll assault Bayley if the Huggable One wins the title, or Banks will cost her friend the championship. On a grand stage such as SummerSlam, having such a strong heel turn would generate a ton of heat onto Banks.

In Bayley’s case, having her get betrayed by someone so close to her will help in regaining the fan support that’s been lessened due to her lack of success as of late. Moving forward in such a situation, Bayley versus Banks is a fresh feud that could instill a great deal of life into the division.
