Bayley recently returned and she will get a rematch at Bad Blood. This was a very good match the first time and these two women will look to better that match. Tiffany Straton will also be lurking around with her briefcase and looking to cash in and become champion.
Cody Rhodes vs Jacob Fatu for Undisputed WWE Championship
