3 Reasons why Bayley defeated Alexa Bliss at Stomping Grounds

#2 Bayley will have a lengthy title reign

The Champ

Bayley altered her fate after she was drafted to SmackDown Live at the Superstar Shake-up. The SmackDown Women's Champion won the Money in the Bank briefcase and she cashed in the contract on the same night. The Hugger pinned Charlotte Flair to win the most coveted women's prize of the blue brand for the first time in her career.

Prior to Money in the Bank, Bayley had a sub-standard run on the red brand. She didn't achieve notable success on RAW as a singles competitor. Since losing the RAW Women's Title two years ago, she got lost in the shuffle.

After grabbing the blue belt, Bayley has been different and she has reinvented her character. As champion, she has been aggressive and has great momentum. Considering the victory at Stomping Grounds, Bayley is likely to have a long title run; she could be positioned as one of the top women's performers of this era alongside Charlotte and Becky Lynch.
