What an ending!

#2. Bayley's SummerSlam opponent won't be from SmackDown

Sasha Banks and Bayley, the "Golden Role Models" had an interesting segment with Stephanie McMahon tonight. We didn't see Stephanie McMahon berate them as she has with many Superstars in the past. Instead, she told the two SmackDown stars that the McMahon's hold no grudge, but criticized them for using a loophole to defeat Asuka and win the RAW Women's Championship.

It's clear that there's a lack of opponents for Bayley on SmackDown and despite the Naomi-Lacey Evans rivalry, it seems like WWE doesn't want the SmackDown Women's Champion facing a star from her brand.

Corey Graves deleted his Tweet! More details HERE.

Stephanie McMahon announced that next week, there would be an Interbrand battle royal to determine Bayley's SummerSlam opponent. And this is going to include Superstars from RAW, SmackDown, and NXT.

From the look of things, Bayley isn't going to be facing a SmackDown star at SummerSlam. She'll either be facing a star from RAW or NXT. The big question is as to whether that woman will be the one to end her 300+ day Championship reign.
