After the two lost the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania 35, Sasha Banks went on a 5-month hiatus from WWE.

Speaking to talkSPORT prior to the Royal Rumble 2020 event, Bayley would call this timeframe a very difficult few months.

“I can’t do this without [Sasha] and I never want to again,” she said. “[Sasha being away was] the hardest few months for me, professionally. But I’m happy now she’s back.”

Continuing on, Bayley spoke about her desire to face her friend on pay-per-view, saying that it is not her fault that that hasn't happened as of yet and affirmed her desire to wrestle Sasha Banks one-on-one at WrestleMania.

“Not my fault! [they haven’t fought on PPV]. I would love to, I would love to. She is obviously the best ever, in my opinion. The best to ever do it. But, I guess, if her ankle is OK for the Rumble on Sunday after what Lacey Evans did to her on SmackDown, I would love to see her win the Royal Rumble match. Then I could go on and beat Lacey and maybe we could have that big old main event that we deserve [at WrestleMania],” she continued.

In the end, Sasha Banks was not cleared to compete in the Royal Rumble match as Fightful exclusively reported. You can read the full interview at this link.
