WWE SmackDown: 5 big backstage rumors that could have a major impact - bad news for former WWE Champion, McMahon unhappy, Reigns' future (27th December)

#2 Sasha Banks to win the Women's Royal Rumble

Sasha Banks may have taken a back seat for Bayley over the past few weeks, but a feud between the two best friends might be around the corner as per SportsKeeda's Tom Colohue.

While Colohue has stated that Shayna Baszler has a strong chance to win the Women's Royal Rumble match, the former RAW Women's Champion has a high chance to win as well.

There is still an outside chance that Sasha Banks may win, that would be good for Bayley, that would give Bayley a strong contender because the SmackDown roster is not particularly strong when it comes to the women's side. We can have someone like Io Shirai win the Rumble, shock contender, then take on Bayley, that would be interesting, don't see that happening though.

Bayley has been going strong as the face of the SmackDown Women's division with Banks right by her side, but if Banks is slated to win the Rumble match and face Bayley at WrestleMania, then we might just see seeds of dissension being planted on SmackDown.
