Bayley & Sasha Banks Def. Naomi & Lacey Evans
​
The unlikely duo of Naomi & Lacey Evans caught Bayley and the returning Sasha Banks last week on Friday Night SmackDown, defeating them in tag team action, but the SmackDown Women’s Champion & The Boss looked to retaliate tonight in this rematch.
Naomi received a much-needed tag from Lacey and went on a tear, launching herself over the top rope to wipe out Bayley and pulverizing Sasha with a series of blistering kicks.
Naomi went for the split-legged moonsault, but Bayley interfered from the apron, and Sasha took advantage by striking with Meteora to defeat The Glow.

Bayley & Sasha Banks Def. Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross
​
While SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley & Sasha Banks awaited the arrival of Paige—who promised to set Bayley straight tonight—they were instead met Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross. The duo were still chomping at the bit to get an opportunity at The Kabuki Warriors and arrived to make a statement on the first-ever WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions.
Bliss & Cross brought the fight to Bayley & Banks, but The Kabuki Warriors wound up looming large over the contest, not just metaphorically but tangibly when Asuka hit the scene, took out Bliss behind the referee’s back and allowed The Blueprint to lock in the Bank Statement for a submission victory.

Paige shocked Bayley & Sasha Banks with a massive WrestleMania announcement
​
Paige was unable to appear on Friday Night SmackDown last week due to travel issues, but she made her presence felt on this night… and the self-proclaimed role models probably wish she hadn’t.
Paige appeared on the blue brand via Skype, but she was quickly interrupted by SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley & Sasha Banks, the same women she promised to confront last week. After Bayley and Banks hurled a ton of disrespect Paige’s way and even mocked her retirement, Paige came back with the news that FOX executives had granted her the right to announce Bayley’s WrestleMania match this year. Paige first announced Bayley’s opponent would be Lacey Evans… and then Dana Brooke… and then Tamina… and then Naomi. This outraged Bayley and Banks, but what sent them over the edge was that Bayley would have one additional opponent that night… Sasha Banks.
At WrestleMania, it will be a Six-Pack Challenge for the SmackDown Women’s Championship. Bayley and Banks couldn’t believe it, but Sasha also seemed to have a brief flicker of realization that she was now in position to possibly leave The Show of Shows as the new SmackDown Women’s Champion.

Tamina made a massive statement ahead of WrestleMania
​
SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley and Sasha Banks were still irate about the Fatal 5-Way Elimination Match for Bayley’s title at WrestleMania 36, which will force Bayley to defend the title against four other Superstars and pit her against Banks.
The two self-proclaimed role models claimed their friendship was unbreakable, but they were interrupted by their opposition at The Show of Shows – Lacey Evans, Naomi and Tamina. Whereas Evans and Naomi came to trade barbs with Bayley & Banks, Tamina came to fight, and she decimated The Sassy Southern Belle and The Glow, leading Bayley & Banks get some additional licks in on Naomi. But Tamina them shot a menacing look to the pair, prompting the best friends to exit quickly
