#1 Bayley joins the SmackDown Women's Title hunt

Bayley is the longest-reigning SmackDown Women's Champion in WWE history, but for some reason, she didn't have a match at WrestleMania 37. Instead, she played the role of the unofficial host and did better than the official ones, Titus O'Neil and Hulk Hogan.

Regardless, it seemed as though she would make a lot of sense as the next SmackDown Women's Title challenger. After a backstage segment on this week's show, it put Bayley in a spot to challenge for the title.

Luckily, she hasn't been mistreated post-SmackDown Women's Title reign, and her feud with Bianca Belair earlier was brief. It didn't have a definitive conclusion, which is why it makes a lot of sense now.

What seems unclear, however, is whether Sasha Banks will be involved in the match at WrestleMania Backlash. She didn't say much on SmackDown after losing the title to Belair, but a Triple Threat would be fun to watch.

Even a singles match for the SmackDown Women's Title between Bayley and Bianca Belair would be good.
