10 HUGE WWE Extreme Rules 2019 Predictions You Need To Know

4. Bayley (c) Vs. Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross

The wheels have fallen off what had otherwise been a rather sprightly angle over the SmackDown Live Women's Title in recent weeks.

Bayley's victory over Nikki Cross on SmackDown Live let down what had otherwise offered something rather intriguing - Alexa Bliss couldn't beat the Champion at Stomping Grounds, but if her newfound friend had it in her, this handicap match would comfortably favour the Challengers.

Instead, 'The Hugger' tried and failed twice to beat sense into the unhinged Scot with Bliss simply choosing to ignore the attacks in the process. The money was always in Cross realising what Bliss was up to to kickstart their own programme, but the last thing that needs is a title when Bayley still has far to travel in this rejuvenated run.

A heavy-handed tease of a "friend" on Raw led many to jump to Sasha Banks-shaped conclusions, but if 'The Boss' does make a return here, it'll hopefully be to swerve turn on her former friend to trigger their own SummerSlam series after guiding her to victory.

Winner - Bayley
