So what a great main event match we had recently
on Smackdown
We finally had a great main event on WWE television.
Usually in these main event spots, we see
filler 6 man tag matches or other pointless
matches, but we finally had a big match that
had a lot of impact and that was the women’s
tag team championship match between Alexa
Bliss and Nikki Cross vs Sasha Banks and Bayley
This title match was rightfully given the
main event spot on Smackdown and really delivered
The outcome of this match alone affect a lot
of storylines, so we’ll get into everything
Starting off with who it affects the most
and that’s Sasha Banks and Bayley
We talked about last week how it wouldn’t
be a shock if Sasha and Bayley won the women’s
tag titles and that’s exactly what happened
here
So if you’re concerned about Sasha Banks
vs Bayley no longer happening because they
won the tag titles then don’t worry, the
breakup is still coming.
Winning the tag titles is just a big part
of the storyline
Even though Sasha Banks and Bayley were victorious,
the match itself still told us a lot of story.
There were points where Bayley refused to
tag Sasha Banks into the match because Bayley
wanted to do all the work on her own and prove
to everyone that she didn’t need Sasha to
win this match
It got so bad to that point that Sasha had
to get in the ring, drag Bayley to the corner
and then tag herself in
The most telling parts of this match was the
closing moments, Sasha most definitely had
the match won after putting Nikki cross in
the back statement, but once again Bayley
ruins everything and tags herself in.
Bayley tagging herself into the match means
that Sasha has to let go of the submission
hold.
So Sasha heads out of the ring and Bayley
goes right back down and locks in the “Bank
Statement” herself on Nikki Cross thinking
that it’ll be an easy win, but Nikki Cross
is able to escape and nearly retained the
titles.
It was Sasha Banks who once again came in,
saved the day and finished Nikki Cross off
with a shocking pin
So the story is right there in front of us.
Sasha had this match won in the first place,
but Bayley wanted all the credit so she forcefully
tagged herself in and proceeded to use Sasha’s
finisher on Nikki’s cross, but obviously
it went wrong and almost cost Bayley and Sasha
the match
It was Sasha who once again saved Bayley and
managed to pick up the huge title win for
the both of them.
So as you can see, Bayley almost cost them
the whole match by being selfish and wanting
the credit, but Sasha was the one that ends
up with all the credit after that shocking
win
Certain things happened between Alexa Bliss
and Nikki Cross that could be hinting towards
a breakup, but that topic deserves it’s
own video, so we’ll cover the Alexa and
Nikki story in the coming days
So after their title win on Smackdown, Sasha
and Bayley had a photoshoot backstage with
their newly won titles and what you probably
didn’t notice is that Sasha Banks and Bayley
actually made fun of the popular report from
2019
During Wrestlemania week in 2019, Sasha and
Bayley were set to lose the women’s tag
team titles.
Sasha and Bayley had just become the champions
only a few weeks before Wrestlemania and they
were ready to have this long historic title
reign
But it turned out WWE had other plans, Sasha
and Bayley were set to drop the tag titles
to The Iconics at Wrestlemania 35
Sasha and Bayley were reportedly really upset
with that decision and they weren’t happy
about losing the titles so soon
Reports at the time were claiming that Sasha
and Bayley were even doing their own protests
to keep the titles.
They said that Sasha and Bayley were lying
down on there hotel and locker-room floors
just throwing a tantrum to retain the titles
Now when that story first came out, I remember
talking about how bogus and fake it sounded.
These are two of the top professional women
on the roster, it didn’t really sound like
something they would’ve done, but everyone
was still running with the story
The wrestling websites, social media, and
just everyone was talking about this alleged
Sasha Banks and Bayley locker-room tantrum
Bayley finally addressed the insane rumor
late last year during an interview with Sky
Sports Lock Up Podcast
Bayley had this to say when asked about the
tantrum rumors:
“We read all the stupid rumors and it’s
ridiculous.
There’s no proof of it and it’s people
just spreading these rumors because they want
to talk, they want something to start up.
We literally watched the main event in person
by the hard cam and enjoyed the women stealing
the show.”
“We’re professionals and we love this
more than anyone can imagine, more than anyone
else in that locker room”
So Bayley was quick to take the rumor down
and said that it never happened and they were
in full support of the entire women’s locker
room
However, many fans believe that losing the
women’s tag titles is what pushed Sasha
away from the WWE and made her take her hiatus
Sasha missed a large portion of 2019 because
of her hiatus.
As Sasha explained in her WWE network documentary,
she had just fallen out of love with her passion
of wrestling and that’s what made her take
some time off to reflect
But that was a scary time for Sasha and WWE,
everyone thought that Sasha was as done in
WWE and wouldn’t return, but after a meeting
with Vince McMahon, they were able to work
things out
Now when Sasha returned during the summertime,
Sasha Banks, the WWE character, addressed
the tantrum rumors and said that it was true.
She believed that she didn’t belong in a
tag team match and should’ve been in the
main event of wrestlemania
But this wasn’t true either.
It was reportedly Paul Heyman’s idea to
have Sasha confess and own up to the tantrum
rumors because it definitely would’ve helped
with her heel turn and to turn fans away from
her
But in reality it doesn’t look like the
tantrum actually ever happened.
Fast forward over a year later and Sasha Banks
and Bayley are sending some subtle hits towards
those false reports
After being reunited with the women’s tag
team titles, Sasha Banks and Bayley laid down
on the floor during their backstage photoshoot
and re-enacted that popular tantrum from last
year
They even said “Should we take pictures
on the floor crying?”
Alexa Bliss responded to the video and made
another reference to the tantrum story
Alexa had this to say on twitter:
“Worked well for them last time...
Nikki, let’s take notes, I’ll bring the
tissues”
So looks like Alexa is joking about Nikki
and herself having their own tantrum moment
since they just lost the titles
But It was still a nice little response their
from Sasha and Bayley towards that fake rumor
and they can finally celebrate their second
reign as women’s tag team champions

Let’s get back into the story
However, this could be another short reign
for Sasha and Bayley.
As the Smackdown commentators noted, The Iconics
are still waiting for another opportunity
for the tag titles over on Raw, so is it possible
that Sasha and Bayley could have another heartbreaking
short reign and drop the titles to the Iconics
Which is really ironic because The Iconics
are the ones that took the women’s tag team
titles off of Sasha and Bayley at Wrestlemania
35, so could this whole thing be coming full-circle
again?
Being the women’s tag team champions automatically
gives you a pass to appear on both raw and
Smackdown, so maybe we’ll get a few appearances
from Sasha and Bayley on Raw which is great
because it means even more story advancements
for Sasha and Bayley
But I saw a lot of talking about how it would
make sense for Bayley and Sasha to drop the
titles to the Iconics
Alexa and Nikki have held the women’s tag
team titles for a long time over the last
year, so there really is no point in giving
them a third title reign, but the Iconics
make a lot of sense
Their first title reign was a mess because
it was poorly managed and handled by WWE and
they’ve been off of TV for so long that
they just deserve another title reign.
So having the Iconics defeated Sasha and Bayley
makes perfect sense
Winning the tag titles really fixed Sasha
and Bayley’s relationship.
They still have some small issues going on,
but winning championship gold will definitely
make you forget about your problems with each
other, so Sasha and Bayley are more than fine
for the time being.
The problem is gonna kick back in once they
lose those tag team titles.
We know that Sasha Banks was the reason why
they barely won the titles, so if they lose
the titles, it definitely seems like it will
be Bayley’s fault
Then we could see a real fallout again between
Sasha Banks and Bayley.
Nothing hurts more than losing your championship
during a short reign, so who knows what would
happen between Sasha Banks and Bayley if this
actually turned out to be the case
So we’ll have to see how bad losing the
tag team titles will hurt their relationship.
Will that be the final straw in their friendship
or will that be the start of their actual
downfall?
We’ll have to wait and see how things turn
out for Sasha and Bayley
What are your thoughts on Sasha Banks and
Bayley winning the tag team titles?
