WWE: 3 reasons why Sasha Banks should not be at Extreme Rules

1. Bayley should be able to beat the odds on her own

Since day one on the main roster, Bayley has been almost entirely defined by Sasha Banks. This is not okay and has done her personality and credibility serious harm.

• Bayley would defend the title successfully at Wrestlemania in a four-way elimination match. Banks would feature and help Bayley eliminate Nia Jax.
• A month later, Bayley would finally wrestle without Banks in her corner and immediately lose the Raw Women’s Championship. History would repeat a month later.
• Bayley could not beat Alexa Bliss. Bliss would instead lose the title, temporarily, to Sasha Banks.
• Bayley would lose at the Elimination Chamber due to an attack from Sasha Banks.

What Bayley hasn’t done is beat the odds on her own. Even in her successful defense against Alexa Bliss at WWE Stomping Grounds, interference from Nikki Cross would ultimately result in the win. Bayley did not win the match without some sort of assist.

It’s an established part of the Bayley character that she does not win big matches on her own. Maybe this time, Sasha Banks could help her friend best by not helping her friend at all. If this is a brand new Bayley, she needs to win on her own.
