Even though the content that's been dished out on RAW every week may not be to everyone's liking, one has to admit that WWE SmackDown has been on fire in recent weeks, with the quality of television that's being served to us. Leading the charge for the women's division is Sasha Banks.
She has just concluded a fantastic feud with Carmella, making us wonder what's next for her and the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship.
Here are five possible feuds that the current WWE SmackDown Women's Champion and Mandalorian star, Sasha Banks, could move to next.
#5 WWE SmackDown star Natalya could mix it up with Sasha Banks
Natalya picked up a massive win over WWE SmackDown star Bayley not long ago. It is surprising because, ordinarily, one would have assumed that Bayley would go over in such a major bout. Maybe Natalya is being groomed as a future opponent for Sasha Banks and the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship?
If a Sasha Banks vs. Natalya feud does happen, we know that Natalya is not going to become the next WWE SmackDown Women's Champion, not because she lacks the skills, but because of how she's been presented thus far.
What we do know, however, is that she is a ring general and can have really competitive matches against Sasha Banks when the bell rings.
This is likely to be a short-lived feud, stretching only until the Royal Rumble if it does happen, where Natalya and Sasha Banks have competitive matches and The Boss comes out on top, with the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship firmly in her grasp.
Do you guys think that Natalya has it in her to become the WWE SmackDown Women's Champion at some point down the line in her current avatar?
#4 Maybe Billie Kay's job search leads her to the WWE SmackDown Women's Champion Sasha Banks
Who would have ever thought that Billie Kay would be the breakout star from The IIconics, once they split up? Could the current version of Billie Kay take on Sasha Banks in a compelling feud for the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship until the Royal Rumble?
Billie Kay has been looking to recruit brand new tag team partners from the WWE SmackDown roster for a long time now, and her search could bring her to Sasha Banks. The WWE SmackDown Women's Champion could shut her down and this could inspire a Billie Kay vs. Sasha Banks feud, albeit a short-lived one.
Sure, we know that Billie Kay isn't unseating Sasha Banks anytime soon, but we knew the same about Jey Uso and that didn't stop us from enjoying his feud with Roman Reigns. It could certainly elevate her in the WWE SmackDown roster, in a pretty big way.
What do you guys think about the current version of Billie Kay?
#3 Ruby Riott vs. Sasha Banks for the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship could be a fun babyface vs. babyface feud
Charlotte Flair and Asuka clearly have some unfinished business in the RAW brand, and so in the interim, Ruby Riott could mix it up with Sasha Banks for the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship.
Sasha Banks would presumably love to work with Ruby Riott for the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship, judging from the fact that both women know their way around a ring and can put together matches that are talked about for a long time.
Even though Ruby Riott gets plenty of screen time as a member of the Riott Squad, we know that she has the potential to work as a top-tier performer as well.
In fact, a feud or even a match against Sasha Banks for the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship may be the best way for her to remind the world just how good she is and what a fantastic mind she has for the business.

#2 Could former WWE SmackDown Women's Champion Bayley continue her feud with Sasha Banks until the Royal Rumble?
There has to be a reason why former WWE SmackDown Women's Champion Bayley picked up a big victory over Bianca Belair, considering that 'The EST of WWE' been one of the most protected WWE Superstars thus far. Is she being made to look strong to take on Sasha Banks until the Royal Rumble, before someone like Rhea Ripley steps into the mix? There is certainly a story to be explored between Bayley and Sasha Banks, involving the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship.
In a sense, Sasha Banks and Bayley are like Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, whose friendly/rivalry will seemingly never end.
Sasha Banks and Bayley put women's wrestling on the map in a big way with their matches in NXT and they have the chance to do the same for the WWE SmackDown brand too. Sasha Banks won the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship from Bayley, after all, and Bayley may want it back around her waist once again.
#1 The EST of WWE vs. Sasha Banks for the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship could light up the division
A long time ago, SK Wrestling had the honor and privilege of catching up with WWE SmackDown star Bianca Belair, someone we have the utmost respect for, which is why we've picked her as the #1 Contender for Sasha Banks.
You may check out the interview by clicking on the video that's been shared above. Bianca Belair has been climbing the ranks, one rung at a time on the WWE SmackDown roster, and she's been made to look strong as well, so it's a matter of time before she ascends to the summit to take on Sasha Banks.
To use a very crude word, both women have the utmost amount of 'swag', and a showdown between them would be terrific, even if it is a babyface vs. babyface encounter. It may just be exactly what WWE SmackDown's women's division and Sasha Banks, the Champion, need right now.
If there's anyone you believe we've missed out on, let us know in the comments.
