5 Possible title challengers for Bayley after WWE SummerSlam 2019

Bayley has been SmackDown Women's Champion since May

#3 Charlotte Flair

Charlotte Flair has reached a level of stardom where she no longer needs to be in a title storyline all the time, as proven at SummerSlam when she defeated WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus in a rare non-title PPV match involving two women.

Moving forward, it is difficult to see where “The Queen of All Eras” fits into the women’s division on either Raw or SmackDown Live.

On Raw, Becky Lynch is without an obvious challenger for the Raw Women’s Championship following SummerSlam but it seems unlikely that WWE would book yet another Lynch vs. Flair match.

Meanwhile, over on SmackDown Live, there is unfinished business from Money In The Bank between Flair and the current SmackDown Women’s Champion, Bayley, but would fans really be interested in seeing that rivalry revisited?

In all honesty, it feels a little too soon for the WrestleMania 35 main-eventer to be back in the title scene, but her only realistic chance of appearing on the Clash of Champions PPV is if she faces Bayley.
