Bayley and Sasha Banks may be best friends, but the two have more than friendship on their mind. The duo interrupted tonight’s A Moment of Bliss segment, where they came out to say that they wanted a shot at Bliss and Cross’ WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships. While that may come at a later date, tonight, Bayley set up a match between Banks and Bliss, much to the dismay of Banks.

Despite being against the match initially, Banks was able to come away with a win thanks to some help from her friend. Late in the match, Bayley jumped up on the apron to distract Bliss, and after she and Cross got into on the apron, Bayley threw Cross into Bliss, who fell down and was quickly pinned by Banks for the victory.
