Bayley's Next WWE SmackDown Women's Title Opponent Revealed?
Provided Bayley gets past Charlotte Flair at Clash of Champions, of course...
Bayley will defend her WWE SmackDown Women's Championship against Charlotte Flair at Clash of Champions next week (15 September), but does the newly-heel 'Hugger' already have her next title challenger lined up?
Cageside Seats seem to think so, having speculated that Liv Morgan will be pushed as a babyface contender in a writeup for today's Rumor Roundup column.
A video uploaded to Twitter over the weekend (in which Morgan cuts her trademark pink locks) sparked rumours of a full-on repackaging for the former Riott Squad firecracker:-
Morgan hasn't been seen on television since the 16 July episode of SmackDown, during which she was decisively beaten by Flair in little over two minutes. Afterwards, the conflicted 25-year-old sent herself off on a hiatus, saying "when I come back, I'm going to be real."
The rumour obviously hinges on Clash of Champions. Bayley would need to get past Charlotte in what now looks like a heel vs. heel clash, though this story shouldn't be taken as a pay-per-view spoiler. It's only speculation. Pinch of salt, etc.
