This was one of the better segments in recent months and signals the new direction of the SmackDown women's division. With Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch gone, it feels like a ceiling has been lifted from it, and it's now anyone's game.

Bayley's heel turn was finally cemented with this segment, where she turned her back on everything she once was. "Life sucks and then you die," said the former Hugger when The Miz asked her about the kids she used to inspire so much.

Sasha Banks was there by her side as her best friend, looking just as much the villain. With her finally being on the show she always wanted to be on, she looks like she has a new lease on life too, parachuting softly after her defeat by Becky Lynch.

One of them is obviously going to turn on the other at some point. I think we can finally pencil in our first WrestleMania 36 match with reasonable certainty. But which one? That question is what makes this new division so refreshing.
