Sorry, Bayley fans, but SmackDown's new heel is the definite third wheel between Becky Lynch and Shayna Baszler this Sunday. The real beef, intrigue and tension lies between Bex and Ronda Rousey's pal, and there's juice in the idea of a one-on-one match between them during 'Mania season.

That's why Shayna has to knock 'The Man' out.

KO'ing Becky is something Rousey never managed during her WWE sprint, so it'd legitimise Baszler as the premier female bad ass in the promotion if she was the one to do it. It'd also take Lynch down a notch or two, and throw in some creeping doubts for her fanbase to chew over before she meets Shayna again (whenever the NXT Champ deems fit).

If WWE are serious about planting seeds for the future and giving NXT more cred, then they'll pick Baszler as the winner of this women's Triple Threat. As anyone who has watched her since 2017 knows, Shayna's the real deal.
