The Slayers (stylized as The SLayers) were a women's professional wrestling tag team consisting of Layla and Summer Rae. The team name is a mixture of their ring names. The group began its existence on July 11, 2014 edition of SmackDown and adopted the name the SLayers on the July 29 edition of WWE Main Event. The Slayers share the similarities of Layla's former team, LayCool. WWE wanted the new version of LayCool because of the recent reunion of TNA's knockout tag team, The Beautiful People in March 2014.
