Bayley chose to defend her Women's Championship against Ember Moon at The Biggest Party of The Summer this year, which has gone down well with the WWE Universe but not with former Champion Charlotte Flair, who faces WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus on Sunday night instead.

Bayley and Moon started out as friends a few weeks ago, but recent back and forths have now made it appear that their friendship is not as important as the SmackDown Women's Championship, as they continue to push the title to the level of the Raw Women's Championship that's currently held by Becky Lynch.

This is the first time that the two women have faced off for the SmackDown Women's Championship and interestingly, there could be a number of potential finishes for the match.


#5 Bayley retains her SmackDown Women's Championship

Bayley was able to cash in her Money in the Bank contract on the same night that she won it to become SmackDown Women's Champion for the first time a few months ago. She has since become the target of a number of female wrestlers but has proved that she deserves to hold the Championship by always coming out on top.

It's been a rough few months for Bayley, who never got a rematch for the Women's Tag Team Championships that she and Sasha Banks lost at WrestleMania because Banks hasn't been seen since April.

Bayley has proved that she is worthy as a singles competitor and this Sunday at SummerSlam she could prove that whilst Ember Moon is her toughest opposition to date, she will come out on top and continue to reign over the SmackDown Women's Division for the next few months.

#4 Ember Moon lifts her first main roster Championship

Ember Moon is a former NXT Women's Champion and had some interesting matches against Asuka throughout her time in the developmental division before she was called up to the main roster. Moon hasn't been used the way many of the WWE Universe expected over the past few months, but this is the big break she has been looking for.

There's no doubting that Moon is one of the most athletically gifted women's athletes on the SmackDown Live roster, but she hasn't been pushed into the Women's Championship picture before or given the chance to prove that she deserves to be a titleholder on the main roster, until now.

Moon has been on top for much of this feud, so it could be The War Goddess who walks out of Toronto on Sunday night with the Women's Championship around her waist.

#3 Bayley finally turns heel

Bayley has been teasing a heel turn throughout this feud with Ember Moon, but it's unknown as to whether or not WWE just want the Champion to play the heel in the match or if they actually want to pull the trigger on her as a heel on SmackDown Live.

There are already a number of heels on the brand including Charlotte, Mandy Rose, and Sonya Deville, but there are then the likes of Carmella, Asuka, Kairi Sane and Ember Moon who are all faces.

It would be an interesting way for Bayley to retain her Women's Championship if she is unable to overcome Moon and the War Goddess outwrestles the Champion so she's forced to get herself disqualified. This would further the idea that Bayley could be turning heel but once again not fully confirm it.

#2 Charlotte interference

Charlotte and Bayley have a storied history, from The Four Horsewomen of NXT to the woman that Bayley chose to cash in her Money in the Bank contract on, it's been a long rivalry between the two women.

A few weeks ago on SmackDown Live, Bayley and Charlotte were once again face to face and the animosity is apparent. It's hard to believe that WWE won't be pushing Charlotte back into the title picture as soon as she's past Trish Stratus this weekend, so why wouldn't The Queen interfere and ensure that the belt remains on Bayley?

Charlotte already voiced her opinion about this match a few weeks ago when she was disgusted that it was taking place, so this could be her way of either setting up a feud with Bayley or a multi-woman match for Clash of Champions next month.

#1 Sasha Banks returns

Sasha Banks hasn't been seen on WWE TV since WrestleMania when The Boss lost the Women's Tag Team Championships to The IIconics. There have been a number of differering reports since then that show that Banks wasn't ready to return to WWE TV, but now the former Women's Champion could be.

Banks wasn't drafted to SmackDown Live alongside Bayley back in April, but there is nothing stopping her from making her return to the company on the SmackDown Live brand so that she could go after her former friend.

Sasha Banks has never won the SmackDown Women's Championship, which means that it could be something that she would be looking to do in the future. It makes more sense for Sasha to return as a heel than as a face, the question now is whether or not The Boss is ready to return to the ring.
