5 reasons why Bayley became SmackDown Women's Champion at Money in the Bank 2019

#1. A shot at Sasha Banks

Was Bayley's push a shot at Sasha Banks?

This may not be one that WWE fans want to read, but it's very possible that the Sasha Banks issue is what led to Bayley's sudden push. While Bayley was reportedly not very happy with the direction of the Women's Tag Team titles, she didn't make as much of an issue about it.

The incident allegedly involving Sasha Banks reportedly led to a meltdown backstage and she was sent home for "personal reasons". She hasn't been seen since and while she is expected to make her return, Bayley was likely rewarded to take a shot at Sasha Banks or prove that if you stand your ground, good things will come.

We have no doubt that Sasha Banks will successfully return and become a Women's Champion again. SmackDown Live would be an ideal place for her because she's done her bit on RAW. Then again, Becky Lynch does need some solid contenders on RAW.
