Bayley had a lackluster match against Lacey Evans to end their feud. We were surprised at the absence of Sasha Banks in the Royal Rumble match or even ringside for the SmackDown Women's Championship match.
As it turns out, she's rumored to have suffered an injury early in the month that has kept her out of the ring - which is perhaps why her matches against Lacey Evans never happened.
The placement of the match right after the Women's Royal Rumble match was questionable, but WWE possibly chose it to be the "cool down" match after the crowd spent a lot of their energy on the Rumble match.
We feel that this should have been on the Kickoff show, but it was a match that had a purpose. Bayley beat Evans and will likely move on to a filler feud before her rumored feud against Sasha Banks at WrestleMania 36.
