Ember Moon wasn’t the star to dethrone Bayley on top of the women’s division on the WWE SmackDown Live roster.
Bayley successfully retained the SmackDown Women’s Title over Moon. This match took place at Sunday’s (August 11, 2019) WWE SummerSlam pay-per-view event in Toronto, Ontario at the Scotiabank Arena.

The match was set up when Bayley noted in an interview that she would like to face Moon after the two of them defeated Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville in tag-team action on an episode of SmackDown Live in July.
Bayley became the champion when she won the women’s Money in the Bank ladder match and later that night cashed in the contract on Charlotte Flair to win the SmackDown Women’s Championship.
This happened after Flair had beaten Becky Lynch to win the title yet again. Time will tell whether WWE continues this feud.
It’s possible that WWE goes into a different direction heading into the Clash of Champions pay-per-view event on Sunday, September 15, 2019 in Charlotte, North Carolina at the Spectrum Center.
