As a kid it was...surreal seeing Jake team with Rude in WCW since they feuded not too long before that in the WWF

if you want surreal look up early rick rude where he wrestled in shorts and he's just some ugly dude that got massive popeye arms and skinny little chicken legs and think his arms just got bigger but he never once had a leg day

I think that was Sasha's indie name to begin with, I remember Sasha getting signed and the stories being "Mercedes Martinez has been signed but not that one, the other one"

Bayley is absolutely loving incredible and I would be so happy if she was in AEW, but she's done really well in WWE despite... weakly gestures at everything.... so maybe she won't really feel any imperative to ever leave.

I could see her leaving in a manner similar to Bryan where she's happy but feels restricted by the company's style, especially with all signs pointing to a return to Divas booking.

She's not what Vince/Dunn/Johnny Ace consider "attractive", and I'm sure Nick Khan is looking for more salaries to cut; so really her departure is only a matter of when, not if

It's pretty funny how there's always been a lot of big name male wrestlers out there for AEW, but a lot fewer notable women available, and WWE is now dead set on solving that problem.

i’m not sure there’s really much behind the idea that they’d cut her tbh, she’s heavily featured on tv, was champ for an extended period of time by modern standards, and sells a bunch of merch afaik.

It'd actually be a really funny way to turn Britt face. Bayley/Davina starts talking poo poo on Schiavone, and Britt goes after her for the classic "only I can make fun of him!" reasons.

now, i wouldn’t wish this on anyone else, but if you’ve seen any smackdown in the last 2+ years, it’s pretty obvious bayley has been and probably will be treated better than bray wyatt, the guy who wrestled 10 matches in a year including an instance where they more or less took him off tv for 4 months before they beat him and gave alexa his gimmick. contrast that to someone they had on tv for like ~20 minutes nearly every week and had the belt on for over a year.

Bayley was the MVP of the COVID Empty Arena era for WWE. For whatever reason they FINALLY seemed to realize,"Holy poo poo she's something special" and ran with it, it was one of the few shining lights for WWE during that period.

Basically, it all boils down to whether or not she attempts to exert any creative control over her character. Since that is what got windham rotunda fired. Any creative control in this case might include just having opinions or character ideas.

I don't even think this is a bad thing, WWE just books them badly and insists on the dumb brand split so they can't have all of their top women on the same show.
