Sasha looked very happy after Bayley’s loss. This result means Bayley will face a fresh and revenge-minded Asuka first. The night would end in a bad way for the Golden Role Models as Asuka ran out to the ring and laid out the double champions.

SummerSlam implications for Sasha Banks and Bayley
SummerSlam can change it totally for the Golden Role Models. They both could be double champions at the end of the night or both could even lose their titles in the end.
