Bianca Belair had a solid showing and Bayley did great too. The former SmackDown Women's Champion put her over in a big way, and the EST Of WWE now seems ready for the Royal Rumble after her big win on the blue brand.

It's clear that Belair is being pushed not only as a future top star on SmackDown but WWE in general. Her potential was recognized early on, and the fact that she is a homegrown talent will serve to help her.
