There is currently a belief amongst some that Bayley could be turning heel soon.
Much of this belief has been spurned on by the lineup for the March 16th, 2018 house show at Madison Square Garden. On that night, Bayley will be teaming with Elias (her Mixed Match Challenge partner) to go up against the team of John Cena and Nikki Bella.
Bayley Heel Turn Possibility
A babyface switching to the heel side for a house show is often a sign a heel turn could take place but other possibilities exist. Bayley and Elias could be teaming together simply because they were a team in the Mixed Match Challenge and Cena is entering a program with Elias.
Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, however, believes there is something more to it than that. He believes it’s likely Bayley is turning heel. While there have been several hints that Sasha Banks could turn on Bayley, Meltzer still thinks there are signs Bayley could be the one turning. Bayley has publicly spoken about wanting to turn heel in the past.
Bayley and Elias recently lost to Rusev and Lana in the MMC tournament. Before the match began, Bayley and Elias were about to sing (Bayley had a guitar too) but Rusev and Lana’s entrance interupted them. It’s possible Bayley and Elias end up in a WWE-style mixed-match on-screen relationship as well.
On Raw this week, Bayley defeated Banks cleanly and then saved her friend from an attack by Nia Jax. The signs seem to be pointing to a Banks heel turn but Meltzer still contends there is a chance it could be Bayley who does in the end. Whatever it is that ends up happening, it should happen in time to build to a match at WrestleMania.
