Bayley finally turned on Sasha Banks two weeks ago, and it is expected that the two will be facing each other very soon. It was expected that the two would face each other at Clash of Champions, but WWE have confirmed that Nikki Cross will challenge Bayley for the title at the PPV this month.

WWE announced the return of Banks, who is set to return earlier than expected. It was widely speculated that Banks would return at or after Clash of Champions.

WWE released a statement on Sasha Banks after she was attacked.

"The Boss seemingly sustained a knee injury after crashing into the ring post during the WWE Women's Tag Team Title Match, then being on the receiving end of Shayna Baszler's relentless offense. But the worst was yet to come for Banks. After she refused medical attention, Banks was brutally attacked by her partner and best friend, Bayley, who culminating the assault by wrapping a steel chair around Banks' neck and jumping off the second rope to stomp on it. Banks was taken from the WWE ThunderDome in an ambulance. WWE.com can confirm that Banks was taken to a local medical facility and is being evaluated."

Banks is now expected to provide an update on the same and could feature on SmackDown via satellite and not in person.
