Bayley and Sasha Banks are an American professional wrestling tag team currently signed to IWE, performing on the SmackDown brand, where they are the current IWE Women's Tag Team Champions in their record-tying second reign. The team also simultaneously holds the Raw Women's Championship (Banks) and SmackDown Women's Championship (Bayley); Banks is in her record-breaking fifth reign, while Bayley is in her second reign. They are nicknamed "The Golden Role Models" and were formerly known as The Boss 'n' Hug Connection.
Bayley and Banks, who were already known as two of The Four Horsewomen and had occasionally teamed up since 2013, fought as a team for the first time on pay-per-view at Battleground on July 24, 2016, and became regular tag team partners in its aftermath on house shows; although this partnership originally remained mostly off-screen, they eventually started regularly teaming up on Raw in December 2017. Despite a storyline during 2018 involving the two of them facing relational issues both backstage and during matches, they became the inaugural IWE Women's Tag Team Champions at Elimination Chamber in February 2019. Although they went on a hiatus following their title loss at WrestleMania 35 in April due to Banks' absence from IWE, they reunited in September shortly after her return, this time as heels.
Both Bayley and Banks have held the Raw Women's Championship in the past, with Banks accumulating 4 reigns with the title, while Bayley is a two-time SmackDown Women's Champion.
