SmackDown Preview: Top Face in line for a big push, Grudge rivalry set to continue (August 13, 2019)

#3 Bayley finds her next challenger

What's next for the SmackDown Women's Champion?

SmackDown Women's Champion Bayley had a short-lived feud with Ember Moon. The latter was handpicked by the champion to be her SummerSlam opponent.

Often appearing as friends, Moon and Bayley had slight tension during their segments. Both Superstars took the opportunity to hot each other with their finisher in the weeks building up to SummerSlam. However, their match was slightly slow at the pay-per-view where Bayley emerged victoriously.

Now Bayley will look to find her next opponent by issuing an open challenge tonight. With this opportunity at hand, Charlotte Flair may be the next one to go toe-to-toe with the Champion for the gold.

Both these Superstars share a rivalry that dates back to their NXT days. In case you forgot, Bayley became the SmackDown Women's Champion at the expense of Flair.

At Money in the Bank 2019, Becky Lynch was attacked by Charlotte Flair and Lacey Evans. Bayley, who won the MITB contract earlier in the evening, came out to defend Lynch. In the process, Flair was down and Bayley seized the opportunity. She went on to cash-in her MITB contract and pinned Flair to become the new Champion.

With the Superstars sharing an intense history, Flair may be the next challenger who decides to step up against the reigning champion.

Having said that, there's a bleak chance of Ember Moon wanting to continue with the feud. But will Bayley want the same or will she look to take on a new opponent?
