Bayley and Sasha Banks winning those Women's Tag-Team Titles was absolutely the right call on the latest SmackDown. Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross, bless 'em, were sucking wind as champs and doing nothing of note anyway. Besides, Sasha and Bayley are heading for splitsville, and this is another tool they can use to get there.

Tension, tension, tension.

The pair must tease loads of it at Backlash and come close to ruining their second reign with the belts before it even really gets started. The IIconics, in particular, should get a few close near falls on both women that reach the 2.9 stage before one bestie saves the other's skin. There needs to be a bit of bickering and miscommunication too.

It's too early for Banks and Bayley to lose the straps - that might happen at Extreme Rules, giving them enough lead in to make SummerSlam a night to remember. Of course, WWE might not want to pull the trigger on a turn before fans are present.
