Last week, SmackDown Women's Champion Bianca Belair revealed that she wanted to face Bayley at Money in the Bank in an "I Quit" match. With multiple victories over The Role Model already, Belair could be set to conclude her feud with the longest-reigning SmackDown Women's Champion in history.

It hasn't been a particularly notable feud, but their match at Hell in a Cell was a last-minute addition and exceeded expectations. In just a few months, Bianca Belair has headlined WrestleMania and carried herself through important rivalries on SmackDown.

One big name that's expected to return next week on the Blue brand is Sasha Banks. We haven't seen her since she main evented WrestleMania 37 and lost the SmackDown Women's Championship to Bianca Belair. However, just like Edge, she could return earlier than expected in the biggest surprise of SmackDown this week.

It would, however, only make sense if Banks is being added to the SmackDown Women's title match at Money in the Bank 2021. This would admittedly be confusing, since an "I Quit" match is traditionally between two superstars and not three. This would force WWE to forgo the stipulation already in place and that would be a big mistake.

Would you like to see Sasha Banks return to SmackDown a week earlier than expected?
