Bayley and Sasha Banks (c) vs. Charlotte Flair and Chelsea Green – WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship

As one half of the SmackDown Tag Team Champions, Bayley still has expectations to defend both of her titles when the occassion suits itself, similar to when Becky Lynch defended both of her belts at last year’s Money in the Bank.

Meanwhile on Raw, Charlotte Flair is pursuing the Raw Women’s Championship, but I feel like Asuka vs. Charlotte Flair is a marquee match better suited for SummerSlam. Plus, judging by how Jax vs. Asuka ended last night, WWE seem more keen on progressing that rivalry before diving straight into Flair vs. Asuka.

So, to give Flair something to do before her inevitable title defense at the next PPV, I say have her take a detour towards the Tag Titles. Namely, with Chelsea Green as a new protege, since Green is currently rumored to be getting the big main roster call up after she and Flair beat Io Shirai and Rhea Ripley in an NXT tag match last month.

Bayley (c) vs. Mandy Rose – SmackDown Women’s Championship

If Bayley is going to truly defend both of her titles at the PPV, then I think her most likely challenger is Mandy Rose. As far as babyfaces go at least, no woman on the SmackDown roster has had a bigger spotlight as of late with more consistent appearances on the weekly show.

Plus, she’s one of the few women on SmackDown who Bayley has yet to defend her title against; this offers a fresh match-up and a big test for Rose as an emerging main eventer.
