Shotzi will need to remain focus, however, as her opponent is one of the most distinguished competitors in all of WWE, &#8220;The Boss&#8221;,<strong> Sasha Banks<\/strong>. These two have been feuding for a few weeks now, with Shotzi even somehow turning Sasha back into a babyface for reasons which don&#8217;t quite make sense giving Sasha a heel who had previously attacked a babyface Shotzi. Who writes this? Anyway, here we are &#8211; with yet another match between these two competitors. Both superstars will be a part of the SmackDown women&#8217;s team in the traditional <em>Survivor Series<\/em> elimination tag team match, so this is a primed opportunity for them to put their differences aside. Will they? Probably not.
