5 things WWE SmackDown got right this week: Brock Lesnar helps Roman Reigns; New Day reenter title picture

#4. Sasha Banks picked up a win over Shayna Baszler on WWE SmackDown

Sasha Banks and Shayna Baszler were booked for a big match on WWE SmackDown this week. What could have been a dream match was reduced to just a television match thanks to Baszler’s recent bookings.

Banks tried to take control early but The Queen of Spades pushed her down with ease. She dominated The Boss for some time and kept beating down the former SmackDown Women’s Champion.

Banks slapped Baszler and mounted a comeback. The Queen of Spades locked in the Kirifuda Clutch, but Banks countered it into a roll-up. She then locked in the Banks Statement, but Baszler refused to tap out.

Moments later, Banks rolled up the former NXT Women’s Champion once again and picked up the win. It was surprising that the two superstars got so little time on SmackDown. However, they put on a decent contest to take their stories further.

WWE will need to book Baszler better in the weeks to come. Meanwhile, Banks is shaping up to be the perfect challenger for Flair’s SmackDown Women’s title.
