Bayley's former rival to make a shocking return and confront her at WWE SummerSlam? Exploring the potential

Among all the titles that will be defended at SummerSlam, Bayley's WWE Women's Championship is at greater risk. A formidable threat like Nia Jax is already looming over The Role Model. Moreover, Tiffany Stratton is also lurking in the shadows to cash in her Money in the Bank briefcase. Regardless, the 35-year-old star could pull off a miraculous victory and retain her title.

However, Bayley's moment of joy may not last long, as a familiar foe from her past could make a shocking return at the upcoming spectacle and confront her. The name in question is Charlotte Flair. The 14-time Women's Champion was recently spotted training at the WWE Performance Center, which could be a major hint about her potential return to the company.

Just after The Role Model possibly retains her title against The Irresistible Force at SummerSlam, Flair's theme song could echo in the Cleveland Browns Stadium. The Queen could make a shocking WWE return after eight months and confront an exhausted Bayley in the middle of the ring with her eyes gazing at the Women's Championship. The possibility of it happening is relatively high.

A major reason why it could happen is that Charlotte Flair's return will help WWE add a shocking element to The Biggest Party of the Summer that could create much buzz. Moreover, it will help the company set forth a new direction for the WWE Women's Championship after SummerSlam. Besides, The Queen's arrival will rejuvenate the women's division on SmackDown.

Bayley and Flair have a long history, as they were once members of The Four Horsewomen in WWE. Besides this, they have also been bitter rivals in their careers and competed against each other on numerous occasions.

Bayley has old debts to clear with Nia Jax at SummerSlam

The rivalry between Bayley and Nia Jax is years in the making, as it is far more personal than one can imagine. In 2017, The Role Model was heading into SummerSlam as the number one contender for the RAW Women's Championship. However, Jax squandered her championship aspirations as she injured the 35-year-old star ahead of her marquee match.

With both women set to compete at this year's SummerSlam in a one-on-one bout, the former Damage CTRL member will finally get an opportunity to seek revenge after seven long years.

Before their highly anticipated showdown, Bayley posted a few pictures of their previous encounter from 2017, during which she got hurt. The Role Model vowed to make The Irresistible Force pay at The Biggest Party of the Summer this year when they lock horns inside the ring.

This rivalry has come full circle after seven years and this time the top prize of SmackDown—the WWE Women's Championship—will be on the line. It will be interesting to see what happens when Nia Jax and The Role Model face each other in a high-voltage clash at SummerSlam.
