WWE Extreme Rules: 8 Last-Minute Rumours You Need To Know

7. Sasha Banks Returns

One thing I can say with total certainty is that, at the very least, WWE want you to think this is happening.

Ahead of her 2-on-1 handicap match for the SmackDown Women's Championship, Bayley faced off against both Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross. The trio exchanged words before Cross hit her with a sensational blog-baiter; "Here's some free advice for you. Go and find a friend of your own. You need someone as loyal and as honest as Alexa Bliss. Someone to really slap some sense into you!"

If this was any other promotion, Sasha Banks return would now be too obvious to be anything other than a swerve but WWE have an incredible track record of spoiling their own surprises. Credit where it's due, they might have her return to only attack Bayley and start some weird triad with Cross and Bliss (3 women with nothing in common beyond... what?... 5 letter surnames?), but you'd be astounded if they've set this story up for any other reason.

Combine all of this with the stories that she's agreed to return, and that she's on the poster for SummerSlam and it's about as close to a no-brainer as I've been able to write in this column in 2019.
