Banks and Bayley tried to regain their Tag Team titles against Nia Tax and Shayna Baszler on Friday. They put up a good fight but were inevitably outmuscled by the powerhouse duo.
Jax landed a massive drop on them and pinned both Superstars simultaneously. This dominant show established Jax and Baszler as the undisputed Champions.
Gutted by the defeat, Bayley lost her cool and vented it all out on an injured Banks. Brutally beating down her own partner, Bayley mercilessly attacked Banks.
This shocking break in the friendship was when the show peaked in numbers. Banks was torn apart by a vengeful Bayley. As a final attack, Bayley lodged a steel chair over Banks’s head and jumped on it from the top rope.
SmackDown fans were shocked by the actions of Bayley
The former Raw Women’s Champion was lifeless and couldn’t move. Bayley walked away, and the horror was evident on the faces of the ThunderDome audience.
