WWE SmackDown: 5 Reasons why The IIconics pinned Sasha Banks and Bayley
It's a rare sight to see the WWE Superstars of one brand show up on another, is it not? Sasha Banks and Bayley have been RAW Superstars and it was a welcome sight to see them on the blue brand. This was in line with them being fighting Champions, and challenging just about anyone to step up and compete. But they had a surprise in store, waiting for them.
They took on The IIconics in a non-title match. Much to the surprise of everyone in the building and those watching at home, Sasha Banks and Bayley lost the match. Why did WWE book their champions to lose on TV?
I invite you to leave your thoughts and views in the comments as well, folks. What do you guys think of this loss?
Let me know your thoughts and views.
#5 To make the Women's Tag Team picture less RAW centric
Sasha Banks and Bayley realized their dream when they beat 5 other teams to become the first ever WWE Women's Tag Team Champions. And soon after they won the title, they made a very bold claim indeed to the entire WWE Universe. They would defend their Championships on just about any brand at all, even NXT.
But ever since then, the only team that they have really competed against comprises of Nia Jax and Tamina. Last night on RAW, the Divas of Doom stepped up to the plate, but the response wasn't really what the WWE brass anticipated (more on that later). The need of the hour was to remind the WWE Universe that Sasha and Bayley were willing to compete just about everywhere.
And this is why The IIconics pinned the reigning champs this week. To remind us that Sasha Banks and Bayley weren't exclusive to the RAW brand.
