I'd be surprised at that. They are grooming Lacey. I'd put more money on it being Lacey vs. Charlotte with Bayley being left with nothing to do.
That's worse FFS :russ:

Lacey's barely starting to get good. She's a good character who can cut a promo but she's a bit cumbersome as a worker. Charlotte I think is a tad overrated as a worker aswell - like, don't get me wrong she's very good, but people act like she puts on classics all the time and she really doesn't. When I think of the best women's matches in recent memory, I think of the other 3 horsewomen more than I do her.

If they can pull a great match out of that pairing, I'll tip at least 3 of my hats to WWE.

Think maybe she just fell out of love with it all? Like, saw the business for the business, got jaded and figured; "I'll collect this check, use the money to try music, and generally just be who I want because what they finna do, fire me?"
I mean, more power to her if that's what she did, especially once they squandered her return and the New Look Sasha Banks thing... but man, has WWE managed to take someone from babyface to heel on purpose with the reinvention and not fukk it up lately?
The new music thing makes me remember the botch of Shinsuke.

The Snoop Dogg remix was her idea.

All WWE booking is trash for the most part, and she knows it. If you look at who is being pushed right now, they are all either idols or friends of her (japanese girls, 4 horsemen). She is no longer jobbing to "newbies", is highly positioned in a partnership with current champ and best friend Bayley.

I would say her situation is alot different right now, and she is probably actually a lot happier.

But yes it has been standard WWE booking for her since her comeback.

If you notice a lot of midcard men and women are doing some type of side business. Asuka got her own YouTube page, EC3 got this own.

now they got her being Bayley's sidekick and losing tag matches getting pinned by Dana Brooke


i'd say that bayley comes off moreso as the sidekick.

you just said Bayley was the sidekick :mjlol:


yea, she comes off as the sidekick. but she has the belt.
it sounds funny but it makes sense.
im nowhere near the 1st person to say this.

especially when you look at the feud theyre in now. bayley is the 3rd wheel, and was looking corny until they added dana in as the 4th wheel.
altho, I see the end-game is to have lacey beat sasha & challenge bayley.

The thing is they don't have enough TV time/writing brainpower for both of them to be in their own angle. So they have to take turns being featured in feuds. To fix the 3rd wheel problem, you would have to feature Bayley more, and promote Sasha as more of a minion to the champ, than her own star helping her best friend.

And if they do that, this thread gets even more crazy.

As a package, they are at the top of the women's card, holding the belt, and constantly in a feud. Personally, Sasha is probably loving that her best friend is world champ, and she gets to flank her and soften up challengers for her.

You can't help that Vince has chosen someone for looks and can't wrestle again. But remember at this point, she is only a challenger. And I mean who else do you want to challenge. They have put alot into Lacey to make her seem biggish. Who else has that clout rn? Dana would be good as she's been building momentum with fans, and maybe she gets the chance after Lacey.

:mjlol: Can we get past the Rumble first before making assumptions? If they don't have a match at Mania, I'll stand corrected.

so not only was she not in the rumble but she wasn't on the PPV at all :gucci:

not even in Bayley's corner for her match :gucci:

not even on the preshow :gucci:

Santina Marella got more screentime than Sasha Banks at the 2020 Rumble :gucci:
