On the most recent edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer discussed Bayley’s status and he indicated that the plan is still to turn Bayley heel going into her program with Sasha Banks.
However the heel turn and program with Banks is happening much slower than had originally been expected. Due to this, Bayley was pulled from a recent Mixed Tag Team Match where she was scheduled to team with Elias against John Cena and Nikki Bella, as her involvement would not have made much sense at this stage in her planned heel turn. Bayley was replaced with Sonya Deville in the match.
“So Bayley was suppose to team with Elias, but her heel turn.. if in fact it is a heel turn – it appears that she’s the one turning, has not gone as quickly as first imagined. So they pulled her and put her in a different match, and they put Sonya Deville in there who was thrilled to in-fact be in the semi-main event with Cena and Nikki Bella against Elias and Sonya Deville.”
