At SummerSlam this Sunday, both Sasha Banks and Bayley will defend their WWE RAW and SmackDown Women's Championship respectively against Asuka.

On last night's WWE SmackDown, Corey Graves tried to introduce a little drama and conflict between Sasha & Bayley's friendship, which was immediately followed by an interruption from Naomi.

She offered to face both champions on the same night, and Corey Graves suggested a "Beat The Clock" challenge to make matters more interesting.

Sasha beat Naomi first and set a time limit of 3 minutes, 39 seconds. Bayley lost against Naomi before they could even match the previous time limit, so it was not a good night for the SmackDown Women's Champion.

As one could expect, WWE teased yet another breakup angle between the two, which is an obvious booking decision before SummerSlam. The cameras captured the pure joy on Sasha's face when Bayley couldn't beat her best friend's time, ensuring that she will take on Asuka second on Sunday.

Later, Asuka attacked "The Golden Role Models", but do not be surprised if both Banks and Bayley come out of SummerSlam weekend more united than ever.
