Historic episode of SmackDown Live in the making?

#2 What’s next for Bayley and Charlotte Flair?

Baron Corbin may be our king but there’s no royalty on the main roster quite like our Queen, Charlotte Flair. She may have lost against Bayley at Clash of Champions but Charlotte is far from out of that conversation.

Bayley, on the other hand, is getting better every week following her much-awaited heel turn. I loved the way she tricked Charlotte and slammed her head onto the exposed turnbuckle to successfully defend her title on Sunday. Yeah, she did run backstage without wasting a second but she did what she had to do to keep her SmackDown Women’s championship safe.

However, that wasn’t the last encounter between these two Superstars. Bayley teamed up with Sasha Banks to take on Women’s Tag Team Champions Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross. Bayley viciously attacked Bliss and Banks made Nikki Cross submit to win the match. But when The Boss wanted to attack her opponent with a steel chair, Lynch walked out to take on her rival and got some assistance from her former best friend Charlotte Flair.

The Queen took out Bayley before sharing the ring with Lynch as the segment ended. With so much going on between all the above-mentioned Superstars, it is impossible to rule out the possibility that the four horsewomen will once again be in action tonight.

When Bayley and Charlotte Flair come face to face tonight, I expect the former to pull off a cheap shot at the Queen. This will give Charlotte a taste of her own medicine and will help establish her as a face without compromising her in-ring character. Also, it may lead to a rematch between the two being scheduled for the next pay-per-view.
