WWE Women’s Champion Charlotte has granted Sasha Banks a match at WWE Battleground — just not the one that The Boss has been gunning for.
Moments after ambushing Sasha on the July 14 edition of SmackDown, Charlotte and her powerhouse partner-in-crime, Dana Brooke, informed their rival that they have contracted to face Sasha and a partner of her choice at WWE Battleground. That is, as Dana pointed out, if The Boss can convince another Superstar to join forces with her against the platinum-blonde bullies.
Since returning to action last month, Sasha has been hot on the trail of Charlotte, insisting that had it not been for WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair’s involvement at WrestleMania, the WWE Women’s Title wound be around Sasha’s waist, not Charlotte’s. To prove her mettle as a title contender, Sasha then overcame Dana in back-to-back matches, first beating her on Raw and then in a return match proposed by Charlotte on SmackDown.
Though The Boss has now definitively gotten the better of Dana twice, Charlotte appears no more eager to give her a title opportunity. Might Charlotte’s hand be forced if, at WWE Battleground, Sasha is successful in finding a partner who can help her notch an all-important win? Or will Dana’s prediction that The Boss rolls alone come to fruition, leaving her vulnerable to a 2-on-1 battle?
Watch the fireworks fly when at WWE Battleground airs live on the award-winning WWE Network Sunday, July 24, at 8 ET/5 PT.
A lot of people are predicting Sasha's tag team partner will be the main roster debut of Bayley and that is my prediction when the match was announced. The only other woman from the current main roster I can see filling the spot is Paige because Becky is preoccupied feuding with Natalya.
Re: Sasha Banks & a partner to be named vs. Charlotte & Dana Brooke
It's going to be Paige because that's the lamest thing they can do and this is WWE. Other possibilities include Summer Rae or Naomi because Sasha has feuded with both and it just wouldn't make any sense and also because this is WWE.
"WWE: subverting expectations since whenever Vince lost his mind."
Disaster? putting Bayley in this spot could hurt both Sasha's momentum and make the crowd less interested in her and it would lessen the impact of Bayleys debut being in Sasha's shadow in the feud and at this moment the attention should be on Sasha cause she's the one chasing the title
And Bayley deserves to debut and have her own moment
For those of you who wrote us questioning why Bayley wasn't drafted this past Tuesday to the main WWE roster, you will likely have your answer tonight.
As of last night, the plan has been for Bayley to debut as Sasha Banks' partner tonight aganst Charlotte and Dana. We are told that has been the plan since the mystery partner angle was booked.
It would appear WWE held Bayley off from the Draft to get a big surprise reaction when she appears at the PPV tonight.
*As noted earlier on PWInsider.com, Bayley is also backstage as the plan has been for her to be Sasha Banks' partner tonight
Yeah WWE should have made it look like her with a side ponytail and a hairbow. Why not have the shadow, it's a silhouette BTW, do the double high five like Bayley to completely make it obvious who Sasha's partner is gonna be? That makes a lot of sense. :shrug
Can we talk about how awkward it's going to be when Sasha, Charlotte and Dana are in the ring and the "will she have a partner" tension is building and the crowd is frothing at the mouth chanting "Bayley! Bayley!" and then the music hits and that person is NOT Bayley?
Re: Sasha Banks & a partner to be named vs. Charlotte & Dana Brooke
Changing my initial prediction: Nia Jax will be the tag team partner.
Nia just got drafted to Raw and WWE are going to put her in the mix with the top superstars like the Women's Champion Charlotte and the popular Sasha Banks. The focus is going to shift from Sasha's story of evening the odds to Nia's debut and Nia making everyone take notice that she is the one to watch.
re: Sasha says Meltzer won't be able to guess her partner
First off: LOL. Second: this has me worried it's somebody that's not on the curent roster, which means it's probably somebody I couldn't care less about... unless it's Victoria or Mickie James.

re: Sasha says Meltzer won't be able to guess her partner
Not really a shot per say, as she didn’t say anything too insulting.
But anyways, if we’re taking Sasha at her word than I do wonder who it could be. Who knows? Maybe they get a returning legend like Trish for a one off.
If Trish comes back it's going to be at Survivor Series in Toronto.
