3. Keep This Separate, Please!

Shotzi actually has a chance to spin out of SummerSlam's tepid booking on the female side by becoming one of the division's biggest ongoing concerns. Her new look has freshened her right up, and there's something in her hunting down Bayley for revenge whilst simultaneously showing support for her sister.

Just...keep IYO SKY away from it all, please.

She shouldn't be suffering due to Bayley's issues with Shotzi, especially not whilst she's holding that Money In The Bank briefcase. Hands up who else hates when WWE views MITB as a device to make wrestlers Teflon? This writer has never been a fan of that. SKY can't afford to take too many losses like the one she did here.

She lost to Zelina Vega in less than three minutes thanks to Bayley and Shotzi distracting her. If IYO is going to cash in successfully and become the new WWE Women's Champion, then she needs to be kept away from that kind of thing in the interim.
