Gloat and then get their comeuppance.

Everyone knows that Bayley vs. Sasha Banks is one of the best matches WWE has in its back pocket. They're gonna' get there eventually, but there's a major question mark over the need to promote that match as 'Champ vs. Champ', especially when Asuka was doing such fine work post-Becky Lynch.

She's been one of the most consistently entertaining acts on the entire roster all year, and it felt a bit premature to take the Raw Title off her last month. Though true Bayley vs. Sasha could work as an ego war between two women spoiled by success, it'd be foolish to sleep on matches like Asuka vs. Shayna Baszler too.

Therefore, at SummerSlam, Bayley should accidentally (not "accidentally") cost Banks her belt. That'd let Sasha rant about how she held up her end of the pay-per-view bargain by helping Bayley earlier in the show, and it'd open the door for her to target Bayley's belt as revenge.
