We noted prior that there have been some hints about a Sasha Banks heel turn over the past several weeks on RAW. Initially, we thought that this would happen at Fastlane as a way to keep Charlotte’s PPV undefeated streak going. This didn’t end up happening, and Bayley retained the title (with the help of Sasha).
Will Sasha turn?
It appears as if WWE is prolonging a heel turn from Sasha Banks, but they are certainly continuing to tease that it will happen.
On the March 13th episode of RAW, Bayley and Sasha were involved in a backstage segment. Sasha told Bayley to not worry about her ‘haters’ or people that say she should have never become champion. Bayley was confused and asked what she meant by ‘haters’. This could be seen as Sasha putting some doubts in the head of Bayley before Wrestlemania.
One of the biggest things that fans point to when suggesting a Sasha Banks heel turn is the lack of babyfaces on the RAW roster. If Sasha turned, that would only leave Bayley for live events against several female heels on the roster. This week on RAW we saw Dana Brooke attack Charlotte, turning babyface in the process. This could be another hint that Sasha will be turning in the near future.

The March 20th episode of RAW takes place in the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. This is a place where Sasha and Bayley have a big history with one another. Maybe WWE turns her before Wrestlemania? If not, we expect to see Sasha turn on Bayley in the near future.
