In this episode, the women of the Blue brand believed they needed to address their miserable performance at Survivor Series. This brought SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley and SmackDown’s team captain Sasha Banks center stage.

As they expressed their shame and embarrassment at the rest of the locker room without pointing fingers at themselves, Lacey Evans took it upon herself to reply to the heels. Evans had a similar moment to Kevin Owens’ from Monday Night RAW, and the heel showed shades of turning face by standing up to the two top heels of the brand.

The fans were behind Evans for once, as she dropped Banks with The Woman’s Right before heading back to the locker room. This was an interesting segment, as it tried to establish Evans as a babyface and as a legit contender to the SmackDown Women’s Championship.

While Evans doesn't have many achievements on the main roster to justify another championship match, she has once locked horns with the RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch and could bring that experience into this feud.

The most deserving women to challenge Bayley for the title are Banks and Alexa Bliss, but the brand needs to give Bayley a few more contenders before moving on to one of the big ones.
