5 things WWE subtly told us on SmackDown: Big mistake made with Miz vs Wyatt feud, Off-screen "romance" turned into storyline (December 6th, 2019)

#2. Lacey Evans has to go through Sasha Banks before her title shot

Lacey Evans had another major confrontation

Babyface Lacey Evans is right back in the title picture after nearly 5 months out of it. This time, it's for the other brand's championship and she's currently being presented as the top female face of SmackDown.

It's interesting because, before the summer of 2019, Sasha Banks or Bayley would have been the locks to be the top female faces but now that they're both heels, they need a dance partner and Lacey Evans seems to be it.

The story so far has been less about Lacey Evans vs Bayley and more about her confrontation with Sasha Banks. However, what's clear is that Sasha Banks is being treated as a stepping stone in this case and will likely be putting over Lacey Evans in the next week to set up a SmackDown Women's Championship match at TLC between Evans and Bayley.

The clash simply seems inevitable and we couldn't be more excited about it.
