Huge match planned for WWE SummerSlam reportedly being delayed
WWE has been building towards a huge Sasha Banks vs Bayley feud for a long time now. As reported by Louis Dangoor of WrestleTalk, WWE had been planning on having a match between the two Superstars at this year’s SummerSlam. But WWE might now be planning to delay this feud and match until after SummerSlam.
The main reason for the delay is due to the uncertainty of the location of SummerSlam this year. It was originally scheduled to take place in Boston, which is Sasha Banks’ hometown. But due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the location of SummerSlam is likely to change as Vince McMahon is determined to have a live crowd for the show, something that Boston has refused to allow until September.
WrestleTalk has learned that WWE wants to extend the feud, and sees more potential in drawing it out as opposed to rushing it.
Whether this means WWE changes their plans remains to be seen, and our sources have said that while the match isn’t completely off the table right now, the company is considering other options for the SmackDown Women’s Championship at the show.
