Bayley Turned Heel On Last Night’s RAW

Last night’s WWE RAW from Baltimore saw SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley turned heel on RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch.

The turn came after the Women’s Championship Showcase main event, which had Bayley and Lynch teaming to face WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross in a non-title match. Sasha Banks appeared during the match and watched from ringside, after previously locking in a title match with Lynch at WWE Clash of Champions.

Banks attacked Lynch during the match to cause the disqualification, and beat her down with a steel chair until Bayley made the save. Bayley then took the chair from Banks, and hesitated before smiling and unloading on Lynch. RAW went off the air with the crowd chanting “yes!” before Bayley ended her assault on The Man.

Banks will challenge Lynch at the September 15 Clash of Champions pay-per-view. Bayley will defend against Charlotte Flair that same night.

Alexa Bliss Dealing With Bad Sinus Infection Going Into WWE Extreme Rules

Alexa Bliss has missed recent WWE TV events due to an illness. She is still scheduled to team with Nikki Cross for the 2-on-1 Handicap Match against SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley at Sunday’s WWE Extreme Rules pay-per-view.

Bliss is currently suffering from a “really bad” sinus infection, according to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio.

Bliss’ sinus infection is the reason Cross was added to the match. Meltzer noted that originally they were not going to have Cross in the match, but plans changed due to Bliss’ illness.

Bliss has not commented on being out of action, but she did make this tweet with the “face with thermometer” emoji earlier this week:

Sasha Banks And Bayley Reportedly Caused A Bad Scene Over WrestleMania 35 Loss

Sasha Banks and Bayley reportedly caused a few scenes during WrestleMania 35 Weekend in New York City.

We noted before that Banks felt “blindsided” by the decision to put the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles on The IIconics and reportedly tried to quit the company. It was noted that she expected to have a strong run with Bayley and the titles. According to the report, which you can read at this link, Banks has been given time to think everything over before making a decision.

Ryan Satin of Pro Wrestling Sheet took to Twitter today and reported that Banks and Bayley were laying on the floor of the locker room at Met Life Stadium on Sunday, “loudly making it known they were unhappy” about dropping the titles. It was also noted that they made a similar scene back at the WWE hotel.

“Heard from a few sources now saying Sasha Banks and Bayley were laying on the floor of the locker room on Sunday, and back at the hotel in front of one of their rooms, loudly making it known they were unhappy about losing the tag titles,” Satin wrote on Twitter.

Satin defended his report and said he heard the same information from multiple sources. “This info is from four different sources I’ve spoken with the past day. All independent from each other and all came to me about it, not the other way around,” he wrote in one tweet to a fan. He continued in another tweet, “Was told this by four separate people who have no relation to each other. There were a lot of people staying in the hotel during Mania weekend.”

Bayley Also Frustrated With WWE?

Sasha Banks told WWE that she wanted out of her contract during WrestleMania weekend. It was not a pleasant scene at all and it called for Banks to cancel an appearance on the Wendy Williams Show in the process.

WWE is giving Banks some time to sort things out, but she might not be back if that is what she chooses to do. Sean Ross Sapp was recently asked during a Fightful Select Q&A if The Boss n Hug Connection would stay in WWE or go elsewhere and he had a rather interesting reply. Because Sasha Banks isn’t the only one who is frustrated.

“I see them taking a chance elsewhere. Sasha is not happy. Bayley was very frustrated this weekend as well, not the the point where Sasha was. Sasha has been sold a bill of goods for a long time and they wasted both of these women’s 2018s.”

AEW is opening up and making a lot of noise. They could certainly use The Boss and The Hugger in their company to help bring a new shine to their emerging women’s division as well.

WWE Stars Pay Tribute To Former TNA Star Amazing Red After His Retirement

WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion Sasha Banks took to Twitter to praise former TNA X Division Champion The Amazing Red, who runs the House of Glory wrestling promotion and school in New York City. Banks posted the tribute because Red has announced his retirement from the ring.

As seen below, Ali also took to Twitter to post a tribute to Red. Ali’s video features tributes to Red from Seth Rollins, Banks, Bayley, AJ Styles, Lince Dorado, Kevin Owens, Ricochet, Brian Kendrick, Rey Mysterio and WWE producer Sonjay Dutt.

Ali wrote, “@AmazingRed1 was such a huge influence on me. But I’m definitely not the only one who was influenced by him. He should know that.”

You can see the tribute video below, along with Red’s announcement video.

Red noted that he originally planned to “leave wrestling” after the WWE Cruiserweight Classic in 2016. In what could have led to his big break, Red was originally scheduled to work the tournament but an ankle injury kept him out of it. He said he felt like he has done everything he was supposed to do through HOG, and he’s cancelling all the shows he had planned for WrestleMania 35 Week in New York City. Red said he will continue to teach at HOG, and he will continue to support the business. “Throughout all my life, I have done things for everybody else, I’ve never done things for myself,” Red said.

He later added, “Be happy for me, don’t be upset. The reason why I made this video was for myself, because once I know I put this out there, there’s no turning back. This is me looking out for me. So, be happy about that.”

Rumored Character Change For Bayley May Be In The Works

Bayley

According to the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio (via ringsidenews.com), WWE may be teasing a heel turn for Bayley. They had seemingly been teasing Sasha Banks turning heel on TV, and the two have been teasing a feud on social media…

“WWE sent the card for Madison Square Garden and one of the matches on the Madison Square Garden card on March 16th is John Cena & Nikki Bella vs. Bayley & Elias, which sounds like Bayley may be going heel. So perhaps the Bayley/Sasha thing will be Bayley turning and not Sasha… Maybe. Or they don’t know what they are doing and they needed. I don’t even know why. Why you would have Bayley team with Elias?”
