Sasha Banks to address Bayley on WWE SmackDown

Announced during Fox’s NFL coverage Sunday, Sasha Banks will be on this Friday’s WWE SmackDown to address Bayley’s recent attack.

On the September 3rd SmackDown, the two lost in a rematch to Women’s Tag Team Champions Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler which caused Bayley to snap after weeks of dissention between the pair. The reigning SmackDown Women’s Champion put a chair around Banks’ neck and stomped on it after jumping from the middle rope, causing Banks to be put in an ambulance.

On Friday’s SmackDown, Bayley said she loved every second of attacking her old partner and that Banks was using her just as she was using Banks. She claimed Banks was going to eventually do the same to her and didn’t care about their friendship.

Bayley will defend her title against Nikki Cross at the Clash of Champions pay-per-view.

The pair had held all the women’s gold in WWE at one point, but tensions began when Banks lost the Raw Women’s title to Asuka on the same night Bayley successfully defended her title against Asuka. The difference: Bayley didn’t help Banks retain while Banks did help Bayley.
