I know that a lot of people may not be happy with this particular move. But the fact of the matter is that Bayley vs. Ember Moon, as fresh as the clash is, does not feel big enough to be a SummerSlam match. And this is because no amount of character work has been done with Ember Moon, beyond the fact that she's a talented in-ring performer with a cool finisher.

On the other hand, there's a readymade storyline with Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross. Is the reason why they scored the win last week over Bayley and Ember Moon only to be inserted into the title match at WWE SummerSlam?

Could this lead to a rift between Bliss and Cross at WWE SummerSlam? Both women will want to claim the prize considering it's a pretty prestigious title!
