Sorry, Bayley, but mini-bitch from hell Alexa Bliss continuing to string Nikki Cross along before an inevitable split is one million times more interesting than your title reign. That's life in the fast-moving WWE. Yesterday's big win is tomorrow's afterthought, and there's way more gas in Alexa vs. Nikki at SummerSlam than anything Bayley is doing.

So, maybe it's time to crown some co-champs.

Unlike most put-upon babyfaces, Cross actually showed some intelligence by placing herself in the match, and that can become part of the story. If she's a dual champion alongside Bliss, then she has some say in what happens with the SmackDown Women's Title. Then, assuming Bayley is right and Alexa is using Nikki (which she is), then the Scot retains some power.

That might be looking into things a bit too much, granted. Why not though? It's a multi-layered, fun story, which Bayley doesn't have. Face it, there's more intrigue in when Nikki will eventually snap than there ever was in Bayley vs. Bliss.
