Teaming with Bayley Dos Straps has made Sasha Banks jealous, and she now wants a title match as well.

But the tease of Sasha finally challenging her longtime friend and tag team partner for the SmackDown Women’s Championship was just that – a tease. The Boss actually was challenging Asuka for her Raw Women’s Championship, which the Empress quickly accepted. And then the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions attacked Asuka, leaving her lying.

Most likely, Banks is not going to be able to stop the buzzsaw that is Asuka, which would then likely trigger her wanting a shot at Bayley’s title. Maybe Bayley will try to help her best friend, only for that interference to backfire, which would really ignite that desire for a second title.

So there’s a real chance that this is the start of that rivalry that has been sitting there out in the open for months.
