The 2020 edition of the WWE Draft is on the horizon, and we are all set to witness a string of WWE Superstars switching brands over the next few days. The WWE Draft always gives the WWE Universe a bunch of surprises, and the same is expected to happen this year as well. RAW Superstar Peyton Royce recently asked her fans whether they want to see her move to WWE SmackDown during the draft, to which the Blue brand's Women's Champion Bayley responded with a straight 'nope'.
Bayley sure has her reasons for her cold response to Peyton Royce
Bayley has been WWE SmackDown Women's Champion for more than 500 days at this point. As a dastardly heel, she has made it a point to avoid clashes with other women as much as she possibly can. Bayley wouldn't want to have another challenger for her SmackDown Women's title belt in the form of Peyton Royce, and this is why she isn't interested one bit in seeing the former IIconics member come to SmackDown.
Peyton recently split up with Billie Kay on WWE RAW. The IIconics had been together for a long time, with their crowning achievement coming at last year's WrestleMania where they won the Women's Tag Team titles. Now that the duo is not together anymore and the chances are very high that one of them is going to get drafted to SmackDown so that both women can carve their own paths on different brands.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
