WrestleMania Backlash: 5 biggest WWE rumors you should know - Roman Reigns favorite to win, 9-time champion planning a surprise attack, 2 big returns teased for the show

#2 Backstage update on Sasha Banks’ plans for WrestleMania Backlash

Sasha Banks can orchestrate a surprise attack at WrestleMania Backlash

Sasha Banks is not on the WrestleMania Backlash match card this year. However, backstage rumors suggest that she will make an appearance during the pay-per-view. The former SmackDown Women’s Champion is rumored to be planning an attack on Bianca Belair during the latter’s title match. This would undoubtedly make for an exciting twist as long as it doesn’t cause the title match to end with a disqualification.

Sasha Banks lost the SmackDown Women's Championship at WrestleMania 37. However, she didn't get her title rematch at WrestleMania Backlash. Instead, Bayley entered the title picture, and backstage altercations between the two superstars on SmackDown led to a title match being booked for the upcoming pay-per-view. Belair is expected to retain her title, but her celebration might be cut short by a vicious Banks.

Sasha Banks was involved in a long feud with both Bianca Belair and Bayley. Thus, the creative can also book all three superstars in a title feud after WrestleMania Backlash. Banks will continue to pose a serious threat to Belair's Championship reign, and we could see her making a strong statement by laying a surprise attack on Bianca Belair this Sunday.
