3 Explanations for Bayley’s shocking loss at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event

At WWE Saturday Night's Main Event, Sol Ruca surprised everyone by defeating Bayley in a shocking result. The NXT star delivered an energetic performance and pinned the Hugger to secure the victory.

Ruca made this happen when she reversed Bayley's roll-up in her own and managed to get the victory. Meanwhile, the loss of the former women's champion came as a surprise to many.

In this article, we will be looking at three explanations for Bayley's shocking loss at Saturday Night's Main Event.

#3. To set up Bayley’s heel turn

Over the past few months, we have seen multiple hints of the heel turn of Bayley, but it has yet to happen. A loss to Sol Ruca could be a step toward The Role Model's heel turn.

Despite showing sportsmanship after the match, Bayley surely was not happy with the loss. So, if she fails to secure any big victories in the coming weeks, this frustration could eventually lead to her heel turn in the Stamford-based promotion.

#2. WWE wants to put Sol Ruca over

The sole reason the exhibition matches are taking place at Saturday Night's Main Event is that WWE and John Cena want to put over the future stars of the company. Bayley is already a well-known star in the women's division and has achieved major milestones in her career.

Defeating a veteran like her is a big moment for Sol Ruca, and it will solidify her presence in the Stamford-based promotion. So, it seems that WWE wanted to put over Sol Ruca at SNME, and this was why Bayley suffered the loss.

#1. To set the stage for a future feud

In the near future, Sol Ruca will debut on the main roster and become a regular member. Ruca defeating the Hugger could be a preview of their upcoming feud in the company. Whenever Bayley and Ruca cross paths on the main roster, it will serve as an opportunity for the RAW star to seek revenge for her loss at Saturday Night's Main Event.

So there is a chance the company might want to set the stage for a future rivalry between them, which contributed to Bayley's loss at WWE SNME. Overall, it will be interesting to see what's next for the veteran star after she suffered a loss to Sol Ruca at this special event.
