Bianca Belair and Sasha Banks closed out WrestleMania 37 with what can only be described as the perfect match. Both women gave it their all, and the outcome was an emotional rollercoaster that ended with the EST of WWE standing tall and proud.
But why did Bianca Belair, the newcomer, dethrone a seasoned veteran like Sasha Banks at WrestleMania 37? Here are five reasons why WWE may have chosen to go all the way with Bianca Belair.
#5 The babyface, Bianca Belair, had to stand tall at WrestleMania 37 to close out the show
For Bianca Belair to stand tall and proud to close out WrestleMania 37 was not merely a triumph for her but one for humanity as a whole. This was a whole bunch of wrestling fans, confined to their homes for a year, celebrating a very special moment in history. WrestleMania 37 was a celebration in the truest sense of the word, which is why a heel couldn't have closed out the show.
Babyfaces generally close out the show at WrestleMania because it is the culmination of a year's worth of storylines. WrestleMania 37 continued this tradition because, especially in such turbulent times, it is very important indeed to remind the world that good always triumphs over evil.
Sure, Sasha Banks isn't a heel in the truest sense of the word, but she was clearly the heel going into the match with the evil cackle that she unleashed in its glory.
One has to wonder if, following in the same tradition as Bianca Belair, Night 2 will see Daniel Bryan stand tall as the only white-meat babyface in the other main event. Could we see Raymond James Stadium explode with 'Yes' chants on Night 2?
#4 Bianca Belair ushers in a new era, proudly representing the next generation
Bianca Belair is considered to be the face of the next generation of top women's superstars, also consisting of others like Rhea Ripley. The 'Four Horsewomen of WWE' paved the way for athletes like her, changing the game, but it's time for a new generation to take center stage.
This does not, however, mean that The Four Horsewomen have to leave the mix altogether. No, it means that The Four Horsewomen now finally have someone that competes at the very same level as them, who can put on matches of the same caliber that they do.
Bianca Belair could even go on to surpass the achievements of Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, Bayley, and Sasha Banks, considering the push that she's being given right now. One has to cross her/his fingers and hope that the company does not drop the ball in her case.
Rest assured that this is not the last Bianca Belair vs. Sasha Banks match we've seen in WWE by a very long shot.
#3 Having Bianca Belair win the title is striking while the iron is hot
Sportskeeda's Rick U. witnessed Bianca Belair's historic moment live from the stands, and if you want exciting coverage of Night 2 of WrestleMania, this is an account you need to follow. We assume you're already following our official Twitter handle, which has exciting content for all wrestling fans!
WWE sometimes tends to wait far too long and not strike while the iron is hot. There are several examples of this, from not booking Rusev as he should have been to not realizing Cesaro's incredible potential until yesterday. Thankfully, they've realized that Bianca Belair is a goldmine and gone the extra mile in portraying her as a star.
Had Bianca Belair come up short against Sasha Banks at WrestleMania this year, her stock would have plummeted and when she did win the title, the moment wouldn't have been as special as it was. It's a dark time for the whole world in general, but Bianca Belair is currently living her best life.
#2 Who else apart from Bianca Belair could Sasha Banks drop the SmackDown Women's Championship to?
Even though Sasha Banks came up on the losing end at WrestleMania 37 against Bianca Belair, we need to stand up and applaud her for her phenomenal performance. Much is made about the Ric Flair vs. Sting match, where the veteran put a brand new star on the map. Sasha Banks did the same for Bianca Belair at WrestleMania 37. Perhaps that is why everyone online is dubbing her the female Ric Flair.
So, let's come back to the point of, well, this point! Let us assume for a minute that Sasha Banks was booked to defeat Bianca Belair in the main event of WrestleMania 37. Who then would she have dropped the title to in the SmackDown roster?
Bayley is a great shout, but we've already seen Sasha Banks and Bayley have some incredible matches and there's no point going back to the well again. It was time for a brand new face to lead the division to gold and glory, and Bianca Belair was the only option.
