The Golden Role Models were featured in a limited capacity during this week's WWE SmackDown, and even then, Bayley & Sasha Banks managed to maximize the potential of the screentime they were provided with.

Backstage, Sasha & Bayley were informed that Stephanie McMahon wanted to have a chat with them via satellite. It was funny to see how the Golden Role Models tried to please their superior in classic heel fashion, and to no one's surprise, it didn't work in their favor.

A triple-brand battle royal will take place on next week's WWE SmackDown, and the winner will face Bayley for the SmackDown Women's Championship at SummerSlam.

The fact that WWE chose to involve NXT and RAW as well hints towards the possibility that the challenger will end up being someone outside of SmackDown.

But that's not it for Bayley, who has to face Asuka on next week's WWE RAW, and should Bayley lose, her best friend Sasha Banks will have no other choice but to face Asuka at SummerSlam.

And I ain’t “holding it down”. I ain’t “filling a void”. I am… ding dong!!!!!!! Hello? Your consistent champion!!!!!!https://t.co/ZmZMt7wAcU

Although unlikely, it would be interesting to see who will challenge Sasha for the RAW Women's title should Asuka lose next week.
