WWE SmackDown: 5 biggest questions from this week’s episode (July 30th, 2019)

#4. Why can’t rivals for a title get along?

Last week, we watched Ember Moon deliver an Eclipse to Bayley and end her night in a way no one would have imagined. This laid a dent in their friendship which continued to haunt Bayley on SmackDown this week.

Bayley returned the favor to Moon after they lost in a tag team match against Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross, making things bitter from both sides.

Similarly, we’ve been watching how Natalya and Becky Lynch’s friendship has ceased to exist with the Raw Women’s Championship coming into the equation.

This now makes us wonder whether friends cannot get along when a title is on the line. We know that WWE prefers to have clear-cut babyfaces and heels in their storylines, especially when titles are involved, but we've also seen two babyfaces put on good matches on various occasions.

Similar to how AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura battled each other at WrestleMania last year, WWE could have taken both women into the match as faces only to turn one after the end of the match to stretch this storyline a little longer.
