The company's decision to have the feuding former friends finally go to war on the Superstar Shake-up edition of Monday Night Raw offers a teasing number of possibilities for the both the result and the future positioning of each woman going forward.

Another piece on this website has posited that Becky Lynch will be Raw-bound - could she interject herself to try and heal gaping wounds only to be viciously turned on by either 'The Hugger' or 'The Boss'? Will the match break down to such a degree that her involvement would be futile anyway? The prospect of defeat for wither woman should at this point render their continued placement on the red brand a shameful spot.

Predominately booked as allies since summer 2016, Sasha and Bayley have succumbed to WWE's wretched week-to-week storytelling as the shadow of their era-defining TakeOver: Brooklyn battle still looms large over divisions created in its image. Raw isn't big enough for both of them, that much is apparent. And SmackDown Live! wouldn't be the worst place to reverse struggling fortunes.
