Bayley was supposed to be one of the three NXT Diva Revolutionaries
Bayley would have been one of the three NXT Divas brought up to join the three warring Diva factions on the main roster — had she not been injured at the time the call-ups happened, thus delaying her promotion to the main roster even more. More specifically, she would have taken the place of Becky Lynch and joined Charlotte, with whom Bayley has rekindled her friendship and alliance, in siding with Paige, whom Bayley has always admired and wanted to be friends with. (Sasha Banks still would have joined Naomi and Tamina Snuka.) However, this isn't all bad, as...

Bayley will become the NXT Women's Champion at the next Takeover
If Sasha Banks becomes part of the main roster for good, she'll have to drop the belt to someone at NXT soon and move on. As arguably the most popular current NXT Diva, Bayley is that someone. Winning it from Sasha will make for a gratifying moment, as Bayley has chased the title as an underdog for ages without reward and she has history with Sasha. Bayley winning it would free Sasha from the NXT roster and allow her to move up to the main roster full-time, while Bayley finally gets her due. Traditionally the NXT Women's Championship has only been won and lost at Takeovers — not in pretaped matches — so Sasha will retain it until late August, when Takeover Brooklyn is slated to happen. Expect the NXT episodes until then to build up to this with a return to the Bayley/Sasha feud.note 
  • Confirmed. It happened, and it was awesome.
Bayley will be the next NXT star to join the main roster
Building upon the above theory that she would have been called up during the Divas' Revolution had she not been injured, I expect Bayley to debut on the main roster sometime between now (mid-October 2015) and the night after WrestleMania 32. It could even be closer to now. I expect Natalya to take Paige's place on Team PCB and Paige will start her own heel faction with Bayley (who would turn heel in this scenario because she'll probably flop if she doesn't) and a re-debuting Emma. Sorry Dana, you still need work.
  • Well, the next NXT call up was Tyler Breeze, but Bayley could still be called up soon.
  • She finally made her debut on the WWE Monday Night Raw roster on August 22, 2016, one year after she won the NXT Women's Championship!

Bayley will face Sasha Banks at WrestleMania for the WWE Women's Championship and win the championship for her first time.
Now that Bayley is on Raw, she is being established as a major star in the women's division immediately against Charlotte. Ultimately, she will not become the next WWE Women's champion, but she will look very strong and credible in the feud. Sasha Banks will return from her injury and ultimately regain the WWE Women's Championship from Charlotte, roughly around, or maybe even at, Survivor Series, and it leads to a respect rivalry between Sasha Banks and Bayley, starting around the Royal Rumble. It leads to their match at WrestleMania, where they put on yet another spectacle and Match of the Year candidate like their NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn match, with Bayley ultimately coming out on top. Bayley and Sasha show respect towards each other at the end and celebrate.
