Bayley and Sasha Banks were an American professional wrestling tag team in WWE. They were the inaugural holders of the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship, a title they would hold a record-tying two times.

Bayley and Banks, who were already known as two of The Four Horsewomen for their impact on women's wrestling in WWE and had occasionally teamed up since 2013, became a tag team at Battleground on July 24, 2016, regularly teaming up 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. From July 2018 to April 2019, they used the team name The Boss 'n' Hug Connection. During this time, they became the inaugural WWE Women's Tag Team Champions at Elimination Chamber in February 2019. From September 2019 to their split-up in September 2020, they performed as heels and simply went by the team name of "Bayley and Sasha Banks". During this time, they gave themselves the nickname The Golden Role Models, thinking of themselves as role models for young girls around the world.

Although they went on a hiatus following their title loss at WrestleMania 35 in April 2019 due to Banks' absence from WWE, they reunited in September shortly after her return, this time as heels. During this run, the duo captured the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship for a record-tying second time. Bayley also won the SmackDown Women's Championship for a second time, of which she would become the longest-reigning champion, while Banks became a record-setting five-time Raw Women's Champion in July 2020 (a record that would be tied and later broken in 2021 by Charlotte Flair). This made them the first tag team or stable to hold all three titles at the same time, making them the only women's champions across both the Raw and SmackDown brands until SummerSlam the following month.
