According to PWInsider, Sasha Banks was originally scheduled to go over Charlotte originally to get the hometown victory, but at the last minute, Vince McMahon changed plans and had Charlotte go over so that they could get a program between her and Bayley going sooner than later. They also wanted to push Charlotte’s undefeated PPV streak intact to build her up more as well.
In addition, they also want to plant seeds for a match between Bayley and Sasha Banks at WrestleMania next year, and they’d like to get the build started towards the end of this year.
