Bayley & Banks vs. Naomi & Evans rematch set for WWE SmackDown
A tag team rematch will be taking place on this Friday’s episode of SmackDown.
SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley & Sasha Banks will again team together against Naomi & Lacey Evans this Friday. The match announcement was made when Bayley & Banks appeared on this morning’s episode of WWE’s The Bump.
Naomi & Evans defeated Bayley & Banks last week. After unsuccessfully challenging for Bayley’s title at Super ShowDown, the finish to the tag match was Naomi pinning Bayley with a sunset flip.
Last Friday’s match was the first time Banks had wrestled since January 3. It originally started as Bayley vs. Naomi, but Banks attacked Naomi to cause a disqualification. It was made a tag match after Evans ran down to make the save.
This week’s SmackDown is the go-home show for Elimination Chamber. The episode is taking place at the KeyBank Center in Buffalo, New York.
WWE has also announced that Bray Wyatt will host a Firefly Fun House segment on SmackDown this Friday. Wyatt, who lost the Universal Championship to Goldberg at Super ShowDown, will face John Cena at WrestleMania 36.
