Up until now, Reginald has successfully played the role of Carmella's crony on SmackDown by helping her get an upper hand over the Blue brand's Women's Champion, Sasha Banks. After weeks of interfering in Banks' matches, an intergender bout pitting Reginald and The Boss was booked for today's episode.

As the case is with modern WWE intergender matches, Reginald hardly got any offense, as Banks successfully countered whenever he tried to execute a move. To his credit, he showcased exceptional athleticism and made Banks struggle to keep up with his pace at certain moments. Yes, there were some sloppy moments here and there, but it was quite an impressive in-ring debut by Reginald.

Though Banks was able to secure the victory, the odds are still very much stacked against her in this feud. While Sasha Banks vs Carmella for the SmackDown Women's Championship hasn't officially been announced yet, it will probably take place at Royal Rumble 2021.

Will the SmackDown Women's Champion be able to fend off both Carmella and Reginald to keep hold of her title?
