8 Hidden Meanings Behind WWE SummerSlam 2020 Attires

1. Sasha Banks - Bayley, 2015

SummerSlam 2020 marked five years and one day since Sasha Banks and Bayley shifted the earth's tectonic plates with their TakeOver: Brooklyn masterpiece, and it remains as vital to their impending implosion today as it was to women's wrestling back then.

In a show of solidarity to her friend, Sasha wore Bayley's colour scheme from that legendary night. 'The Role Model' tellingly didn't return the favour, just as she wouldn't in Banks' losing effort against Asuka. As noted, white, gold and black are usually for the winners at the 'Biggest Party Of The Summer', but Sasha was doing it out of love rather than luck. The match was yet another to add to Banks' bizarre - and in this angle, brilliant - record of not being able to defend singles straps on pay-per-views.

More magnificent misery for the two surely awaits.
