Listen, if you think that this story is over and done with, then you are mistaken. It is clear as day that this is only the beginning of this angle, and it will stretch all the way through the summer months.

I mean imagine how cool it will be if Sasha Banks goes on to win the Money in the Bank briefcase and has her friend looking over her shoulder at all times, scared of her cashing the contract in. Imagine the cracks that would develop between these two friends and how a vigilant hooded Superstar could release footage that exposes their plans and their machinations.

And yes, whether it is Mustafa Ali, or whoever else, I think that it will be the 'leaker of footage' that eventually leads to one woman turning on the other. Sasha Banks refused to turn on Bayley but I don't know if Bayley will necessarily refuse to turn on her fellow role model, during the program.

And most importantly, this is a hook that will draw us to watch WWE SmackDown. At a time of declining TV ratings, this is quite necessary.

Do you guys agree?
