The build-up to the WWE Women’s Title match between Nia Jax and Bayley has heated up quickly, as both stars launched personal attacks at each other. They have known each other for a long time, since their debuts in NXT. One of the highlights of their promo battle on last week’s episode of SmackDown was The Irresistible Force referring to the champ as “BBL Bayley.”

While speaking on the Battleground podcast, Nia Jax was asked how the nickname came to her mind. She stated that they had known each other for a long time, so everything she said was obvious. Jax revealed that when Bayley mentioned the injury, it just clicked in her mind, and she delivered the line. Although many fans thought the insult was below the belt, it certainly added some fuel to their rivalry.

The scuffle between them began on last week’s SmackDown when Tiffany Stratton came out to address the crowd. Before she could say anything, the WWE Women’s Champion interrupted her and sent a warning. The Role Model told her that if she tried to cash in the MITB briefcase on her, she would become the first female Superstar to fail to do so.

I was just saying the obvious. I just kind of thought of it because Bayley and I have such a history going way back into NXT. When we got in there, and she brought up the injuring and all this stuff, it just hit me, and I was literally saying the obvious, what everybody has known for her to have.

On the latest episode of SmackDown, the former Damage CTRL member was in Mia Yim‘s corner during her singles match against Buff Barbie. She decided to distract the 24-year-old star by destroying her MITB briefcase at ringside. Although Jax came out and fought her, the champ attacked Jax with the briefcase as well, leading to Stratton’s loss in the match. Only time will tell what will transpire when The Irresistible Force challenges Bayley at SummerSlam.

The 35-year-old star took to X to poke fun at Stratton after destroying her briefcase. Stratton shared a photo of her taping her MITB briefcase. In response to that, Bayley trolled her by playfully using her catchphrase.

Regardless, there are rumors that Stratton might betray her best friend Jax after cashing in on her at the end of SummerSlam. She had already tried to do so last week, but before she could, the former world champion stopped her from doing so.
