Bayley has had quite the run as SmackDown Women's Champion, having set a record tenure as the holder of the prestigious belt, but isn't looking to sit on her laurels and has already dropped hints on her next feud.
The 31-year-old, who's in her second reign, was just named the No. 1 female wrestler in the world by Pro Wrestling Illustrated, and deservedly so. Bayley is definitely one of the best female stars of her generation and the future still appears to be very bright.
The champ has been feuding with former best friend Sasha Banks but is already looking ahead to the next rivalry. Bianca Belair is apparently at the top of her list.
"Now starts the hard work," she told Sports Illustrated in an interview. "Now is the time to prove everyone wrong. People think this honeymoon stage is going to end. They’re thinking, ‘Bayley has a good run.’ But this isn’t the end, it’s the beginning. I still have a lot left to do, a lot to accomplish, and a lot of girls to beat up. Bianca Belair is on top of that list. There’s plenty of time for me to make more history."
Bianca joined SmackDown on the first night of WWE's 2020 Draft, so it's probably no coincidence Bayley is looking to start something up with her once her feud with Sasha is over.
There's still a lot to do
Bayley and Shasha were scheduled to go head-to-head for the SmackDown Women's Championship last Friday but the reigning champ cleverly got herself disqualified to retain the silverware.
Sasha later revealed she'd be facing her rival at Hell in a Cell. The SmackDown Women's title match is among the confirmed matches for the event and could be the highlight of the show.
