3 Reasons why Bayley defeated Alexa Bliss at Stomping Grounds

Following a sub-par show at Super ShowDown, WWE had a mountain to climb on Sunday. Stomping Grounds was a brand new pay-per-view which took place merely two weeks after Super ShowDown; hence, the anticipation was not very high. Nevertheless, the company exceeded the expectations at Stomping Grounds and the show was better in almost every way.

The show was held at Tacoma Dome in Tacoma, Washington. A total of nine matches took place at Stomping Grounds. The SmackDown Women's Championship was one of the titles which were defended at Tacoma Dome.

Bayley, who is the SmackDown Women's Champion, faced Alexa Bliss. It was not their first encounter as the two women locked horns in two pay-per-view matches in the past. The Goddess had two victories in two matches against Bayley but the latter changed the trend at Stomping Grounds. Though Nikki Cross was in Bliss' corner, Bayley managed to pin the five-time Women's Champion.

Here we discuss three reasons why Bayley pinned Alexa Bliss at Stomping Grounds.

#3 Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross will re-enter the Women's Tag Team Championship picture

Alexa Bliss was a surprising pick to challenge the SmackDown Women's Champion when she became the number one contender to Bayley. As a matter of fact, Bliss is not part of the blue brand as she appeared on SmackDown Live through Wild Card Rule. Despite having several talented women on the blue brand, Bliss was booked as the next in line.

Before challenging Bayley at Stomping Grounds, Alexa Bliss hinted going after the Women's Tag Team Titles. Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross have been good friends in the last few weeks and it will not be surprising if they re-enter the Women's Tag Team Title picture.

Bliss and Cross could be propelled well in that way, and also establish Cross as a legitimate superstar in the eyes of the WWE Universe. Moreover, following the split of Boss N Hug Connection, the Tag Team division certainly needs some big names.
