Bayley and Sasha Banks vs. Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross: 5 ways their match can end

Last week on SmackDown, Sasha Banks and Bayley interrupted the women's tag team champions on A Moment of Bliss, where the co-hosts were talking to The New Day. The interruption led to an exchange of words between the two teams, and ultimately, 'The Boss' squared off against Alexa Bliss inside the ring. Banks pinned Nikki Cross to set up the title match.

The duo of Bliss and Cross had seized the belts for the second time at WrestleMania 36. As Banks and Bayley have been working like a well-oiled unit, they have a massive chance of winning the gold this Friday. This match is bound to entertain the fans. Here are the five possible ways this Championship bout could end.

Will Bayley and Sasha Banks become champions again?

The rumor mill has suggested WWE has planned a betrayal storyline for Sasha Banks and Bayley, which is why the probability that they become champions this week is very low. However, a recent update has hinted that Vince McMahon wishes to delay this angle until SummerSlam. The likely reason behind it is that the company wants this huge moment to transpire in front of a live audience.

Thus, WWE could delay that storyline by booking Sasha Banks and Bayley to win the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships this Friday. Bayley's rivals have always teased Banks over the fact that The Rolemodel is holding a title while she isn't. The duo can silence their critics by winning the belts on the Blue brand.

Ultimately, WWE can build friction between the two before a betrayal angle. However, to show that nothing is wrong between the best friends right now, WWE could book them to defeat Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross for the women's tag team titles.

#4 The IIconics interfere, Sasha Banks and Bayley steal the titles from Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross

The IIconics have been one of the most popular teams of the women's tag team division. Billie Kay and Peyton Royce made their return to RAW last month after a long hiatus. They even picked up a win over Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross to earn a title shot. However, the Australian duo could not win the titles.

The women's tag team titles need a credible rivalry as the Creative has never booked a long feud for the belts. Vince McMahon can extend the conflict between the two units by booking The IIconics to interfere in the upcoming title match. Also, he could initiate a three-way battle for the gold featuring The Boss 'n' Hug Connection, The IIconics, and the team of Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross.

If The IIconics cost Alexa and Nikki their titles this Friday, their feud will become more intense. The company will also be able to delay the impending rivalry between Sasha Banks and Bayley through this angle.

A title change could spice things up in the women's tag team division. Besides, Sasha Banks and Bayley have the talent and charisma to elevate the division.

Another way through which WWE can sow the seeds for a future triple threat match between The IIconics, Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross, and Sasha Banks and Bayley

Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross are fan-favorites, who always receive a positive reception from the WWE Universe. Since they recently won the titles, taking the belts away from them without giving them a major feud could harm their credibility. They have had no relevant rivalries as champs.

In case WWE books The IIconics to interfere and cost Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross their championships this week, their reign would feel unimportant. It would be better if the company allows Sasha Banks and Bayley to lose this match via disqualification thanks to Peyton Royce and Billie Kay's interference.

Through this, Vince McMahon can kick off the most notable feud in the history of the women's tag team titles. This rivalry could go on for the next few weeks and culminate with a triple threat bout, where the most deserving team would win the titles.

Booking Sasha Banks and Bayley to win would put the titles in the backseat because the main focus of the fans will be on Bayley's SmackDown Women's Championship.

#2 Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross beat Sasha Banks and Bayley

As mentioned earlier, Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross need some big wins under their belt to establish their title reign as one of the best in the Championship's short history. Sasha Banks and Bayley are the MVPs of the Blue brand's women's division. A defeat to the reigning WWE Women's Tag Team Champions wouldn't hurt them much.

Even if the Creative wants to protect them in defeat, they can build some friction between the two female Superstars during the bout. Through this way, they can ultimately sow the seeds for a future betrayal. Or else, they can straightaway book Sasha Banks to eat the pinfall. This booking technique could deepen the cracks in the friendship of The Boss and The Role Model.

Either way, Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross need a victory this week to solidify their position at the top of the women's tag team division. Bliss is a former multi-time women's champion, and since WWE has refrained from using her as a singles star, it would be great if they allow her to excel in the tag team department along with her partner.

#1 Sasha Banks and Bayley win, the hacker exposes Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross

Will the hacker finally reveal the truth on SmackDown?
Ad

The hacker has been teasing a tag team's breakup on SmackDown for a long time now. A majority of the fans feel that he will expose Sasha Banks and Bayley. However, WWE can pull off a shocker and end the friendship of Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross. One of the significant reasons behind pulling off that move is that the company intends to delay the angle between Sasha Banks and Bayley.

So, they could break up Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross by booking the hacker to reveal some footage where Bliss would be criticizing her partner. This way, WWE can turn The Goddess into a heel once again.

After a brief rivalry with her former best friend, Little Miss Bliss can feud in the secondary layer of the division along with the likes of Carmella, Lacey Evans, or even Dana Brooke

For the hacker to appear on everyone's screens, Sasha Banks and Bayley must defeat Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross this Friday. The hacker should reveal the truth soon because a few fans have started to feel that the Creative is unnecessarily extending the angle.
