5. Sasha's Sneaky Smile

You could've missed this one rather easily.

When Lacey Evans sprinted out to cut off Bayley's attempted interference in the Sasha Banks vs. Tamina match, the cameras just about caught Sasha's sneaky little smile. That had to be deliberate. It was like Banks was selling the on/off tension between these so-called besties.

That, and her repeated glances at the SmackDown Women's Title, should let everyone know what's coming next in this story. Challengers like Tamina and Evans are mere placeholders for the Bayley vs. Banks match that might be the title's only hope at relevancy. It was kinda' lost in the shuffle at 'Mania.

Sasha is pulling out some superb facial expressions as of late. The way she reacted with horror when Bayley willingly chucked her into the path of Tamina last week was great, and this subtle show of satisfaction was equally as fun.
