WWE have an interesting show lined up this week

#4 Charlotte Flair and Bayley to square off at SmackDown

Bayley has a tough challenge awaiting her

Last week, we saw the NXT Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair make an appearance on SmackDown where she shared the segment with the two other horsewomen – Bayley and Sasha Banks. It is important to note that The Queen’s comments during this segment looked to have a significant impact on the budding rivalry between the two best friends.

SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley is enjoying her title reign on the Blue brand that has seen her triumph over all of her challengers, barring her best friend. It appears that WWE are now finally building up to the much-anticipated feud between the two Superstars, but before that, Bayley has another challenge to attend.

Female superstar says she inspired John Cena turning heel HERE

As confirmed on last week’s episode of SmackDown, tonight, we will see Bayley and Charlotte squaring off inside the ring in a huge champion vs. champion match. It will be interesting to see how this match unfolds and if Banks will have any role in it. After all, she seemed to be affected by Charlotte’s comments previously, and we could see her showing clear signs of a betrayal sometime soon.
