Who will walk out of Payback with the Women's Tag Team Championships?

There are so many combustible elements in this match that this could well be the match of the night. There have been obvious issues between Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler over the past few weeks, but it appears that the two women are looking to remain on the same page for long enough to become Tag Team Champions at Payback.

This isn't the first time Nia Jax has looked to win the Women's Tag Team Championships, since the former Women's Champion attempted to pick up the titles at WrestleMania last year in the fatal four-way match that was won by The IIconics.

While it's will be tough for Baszler and Jax to remain on the same page, there have also been hints that Sasha Banks and Bayley's friendship could be on the rocks as well. This means that there are many different options for WWE's creative team here when it comes to an outcome fr the Women's Tag Team Championship match at Payback.

#5 Bayley and Sasha Banks retain the Women's Tag Team Championships at Payback

While this outcome is somewhat unlikely given the recent events surrounding Sasha Banks and Bayley, it's hard to ever count out the Women's Tag Team Champions.

Bayley and Sasha Banks have been friends for a number of years and its hard to imagine that the fact that Banks has had a rough week will have any impact on the outcome of this match.

The Boss looked quite determined on last night's episode of SmackDown like she knew that she had something to prove at Payback following her loss at SummerSlam.

If Banks and Bayley aren't expected to feud for several months down the line, then the two women may be able to find a way past arguably their toughest test to date at Payback.

#4 Shayna Baszler turns on Nia Jax at Payback

While the Women's Tag Team Championship may change hands at Payback, Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax are the strangest team to unite and look to win the gold since the two women have been looking to hurt each other at every opportunity over the past few weeks.

Jax was also suspended a few weeks ago following a brawl with Shayna Bazler but the two women have been able to put their issues aside to fight for the Women's Tag Team Championships at Payback.

While enemies have been able to win the titles before and the women have admitted that their hatred of Banks and Bayley is stronger than their hatred for each other, it's hard to see this team remaining on the same page especially if the current Women's Tag Team Champions decide to use mind games against them.

Banks and Bayley are experts at coming between other teams and if they can come between Jax and Baszler on Sunday night then they may have found a way to retain their championships at Payback.

#3 Sasha Banks and Bayley's friendship breaks down at Payback

On SmackDown last night, Bayley talked about Sasha Banks' loss to Asuka and the fact that she has never been able to defend a RAW Women's Championship successfully. It wasn't said in a way that a friend would say it and it seemingly added to the frustration that Banks was feeling towards the end of that promo.

Banks and Bayley have been teasing a split for several weeks and now that the Women's Tag Team Championships are on the line, could this be when Banks decides to turn on Bayley and cost her one of her titles?

Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax are the toughest opponents that the two women have had for their Women's Tag Team Championships over the past few months and they could push them over the edge.

Payback could be the place where the friendship that has dominated WWE TV throughout the pandemic era finally comes to an end and Payback could also see new Women's Tag Team Champions crowned if this is the case.

#2 Sasha Banks or Bayley accidentally cost their team the win at Payback

Back at SummerSlam, Sasha Banks was able to help Bayley to win her match against Asuka when she involved herself, but Bayley's attempt to help The Boss actually helped The Empress of Tomorrow to pick up the victory. While both women have the best intentions to help one another most of the time, sometimes this does go wrong and it's the reason why they could accidentally cost each other the championships at Payback.

If Banks or Bayley accidentally delivers their own move to their partner or isn't on the ring apron when they need to tag in then it's likely that they could lose the titles and then turn on one another.

The two women would definitely blame one another for the loss and it's easy to see this pushing Banks over the edge if she loses both of her championships in the space of a week. With rumors suggesting that there could be a number of title changes this weekend at Payback, it's likely that Banks and Bayley could be the champions losing their titles.

#1 Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax become Women's Tag Team Champions at Payback

Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax aren't the strangest pairing in WWE to ever challenge for Tag Team Championships and if they did win the gold then it wouldn't be that much of shock.Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler are two of the most dominant female wrestlers in WWE at present and could easily dominate Banks and Bayley before lifting championship gold at Payback on Sunday night.

Of course, the only curveball here is the fact that Jax and Baszler are not exactly on the same page themselves after weeks of their own issues, which means that is one of their opponents kicked them into each other then there could be a problem and they could turn on each other as well.

If championship gold and defeating Banks and Bayley at Payback is enough for the two women to stay on the same page then they will definitely be walking out with the gold, but if it isn't then there could be an interesting turn of events between the two women.
