Could Roman Reigns have a big betrayal on his hands? We’ll see what’s that that about. We’ll
also take a look at Sonya Deville’s return, Bayley’s Money In The Bank teaser and more
Let’s start things off with Bayley
It’s another big premium live event coming up and another big return teaser from Bayley
Bayley took to her social media platforms this week to post a
throwback picture of herself hugging the money in the bank briefcase in bed
The picture is of course not a recent one and was taken several years ago,
but the message that Bayley was implying was pretty clear to everyone
She was clearly teasing the idea of a Money In The Bank return without saying a single word
Becky Lynch pulled off a similar teaser last year as well,
where she took a picture outside of the venue and posted it with the caption talking about
how she hopes none of the participants get taken out of the match at the last second
So Bayley is once again teasing the fans with her own big WWE return
The good thing about this whole situation is that Bayley has created this
“kid who cried wolf” sort of narrative for when it comes to her WWE return
She’s been teasing her return since January’s Royal Rumble and nothing ever happens
It’s to the point where some people buy into the these teasers,
but the real fans know that nothing is likely happening
And 6 months after the first teaser, it’s getting to the point where Bayley can
legitimately tweet out her actual return date and no one will probably believe her
At this current point, there’s only two spots left in the women’s money in the bank match
Even if those two spots get taken, you never know if WWE pulls off the entire
“last second substitution” angle during the night of the event
So maybe there’s a very slight chance to see Bayley, but at this point,
it doesn’t look like Bayley or WWE will give away her return on social media
They can definitely announce it before hand, we’ve seen them do that plenty of times
before…most recently with John Cena, but hopefully Bayley’s return can be similar to Becky’s in 2021
Just this unexpected big and spectacular surprise that doesn’t leak out before hand
So will we see Bayley at Money In The Bank? It’s doubtful, but it’s WWE, you can never say never,
so we’ll have to wait on Bayley’s return

Sonya Deville just made her return to WWE television this week on Smackdown
Last time we saw Sonya Deville, she was having a few exhibition matches on Raw against Alexa Bliss,
in which she lost both of those matches
That feud with Alexa Bliss was supposed to continue for a little while on Raw,
but Sonya went missing for a few weeks
Now Sonya has been written back onto WWE television on Smackdown
A lot of fans were confused and wondered
why Sonya was returning on Smackdown when she was last seen on Raw
Well even though the brand split is much looser nowadays and superstars
can really appear anywhere they want, Sonya Deville is technically a Smackdown superstar
It was her WWE authority role that granted her access to appear on Raw, but with that
authority role being gone, it is interesting to wonder about how Sonya will be used going forward
Is she just a Smackdown superstar again or will she will appear on
Raw from time to time to continue her feud with Adam Pearce backstage?
We’ll have to pay attention to the next few weeks of Raw and Smackdown to get that answer
But Sonya appeared on Smackdown to continue her usual banter with Adam Pearce,
but he cut it off quick by putting her into a handicap match against Raquel and Lacey Evans
But Sonya was smart and brought out Xia Li and Shayna Baszler
to take back control of the numbers advantage
Xia Li hasn’t been up to much since she was called up to Smackdown,
so it was definitely something for her to do
Shayna Baszler is technically supposed to be involved with the Natalya and Ronda Rousey feud,
but she did say that she doesn’t want to get involved in all that right now
And also given the fact that Sonya used to use Shayna as an enforcer during her
WWE official days, it does makes since that Shayna would still back her up
But a criticism that some fans had about this match
is that a handicap is usually a scenario for a babyface to overcome the odds against two heels
So some fans did think it felt a bit strange to see two babyfaces all over the single heel
competitor like that, sort of made Sonya feel like the babyface that had to overcome the odds
But at the same time, if you’ve been watching over the last year or so, then you know that Sonya
Deville’s character basically had this coming and this is just her karma catching up to her
So you can’t really feel bad for the character,
given all the things she did during her reign of terror as an official
So she’s on this massive losing streak, she can never win a single match,
but that’s just the karma that the character created for herself
You can’t look at Adam Pearce as a bad guy because he’s just giving her a taste of her own medicine
Sonya never booked Adam Pearce for a match, but she always tried to overrule him when it
came to decision making, so he definitely has a score to settle with her as well
But where does Sonya Deville go from here?
A lot of fans saw that trio there on Smackdown of Xia Li,
Sonya, and Shayna and thought it would be a nice faction for Sonya to lead and run
And it would be a nice direction to take Sonya Deville in and get her back on track
Sure, she can’t be a WWE boss anymore, but what if she rallies some of her
close friends up and becomes the boss of that group and leads them
It’ll be a way for Sonya to not really get her WWE officiating powers back,
but some sort of power back, to have something under her own control again
So Sonya’s usage and direction will be another great thing to keep an eye on for sure

We recently went over how Sami Zayn made a vow to not cash in
on Roman Reigns if he was to win the money in the bank contract
Well WWE legend, JBL, came up with a very interesting theory
on how he believes that Sami Zayn would betray Roman Reigns if the opportunity was right
He had this to say during the Smackdown LowDown l, quote:
"He [Zayn] can say, 'Look, I was just gonna lay down for you, Roman Reigns.' Do I think he's gonna
do that? Absolutely not. I think he's gonna double-cross him. It's like Buddy Rogers used
to say, 'Screw your friends. Make your enemies your friends, that way you can screw them too.'
That's what Sami Zayn would do here with Roman Reigns. I'm convinced of it.
If he doesn't [win the Money in the Bank contract], he goes to The Bloodline and says,
'Hey, I would have just laid down for you.' Which is 100%
dishonest, but that's okay. That's why I like Sami Zayn — he's dishonest.” End quote
So JBL brings up an interesting point, everyone thinks that Sami Zayn is being
genuine right now with his desire to protect Roman Reigns and join The Bloodline
But what if Sami Zayn is secretly in it just for himself?
Sami also had a slip up on Smackdown where he said that he wouldn’t cash in on Roman Reigns,
he would cash in on Brock Lesnar
Which of course implies that Sami Zayn believes that Brock
Lesnar will defeat Roman Reigns at Summerslam
Is that really how he feels? Does he really think
Roman has no shot against Brock Lesnar at Summerslam?
Sami Zayn may be a comedic relief character at times, but this story is very interesting right
now and it has everyone wondering about what the big payoff will be
Will Sami betray The Bloodline or will they turn on him first?
But what are your thoughts on today’s stories?
