The WWE Draft’s first day gave us some of the biggest moves from one roster to another, which was met by mixed reactions from the fans.

While Becky Lynch remained on RAW, her most recent challenger moved over to SmackDown. WWE seems to have opened up a host of opportunities for the blue-haired Superstar.

Sasha Banks is one of the leading women in WWE, and her list of accomplishments speaks much louder than the impressive promos we hear from her on the mic.

Sasha has proven to be a great asset for both NXT and RAW during her career, and her migration to SmackDown will indeed be met with great crowd reaction and some great opportunities for FOX and the Superstar.

Keeping that in mind, we look at the 4 things FOX could do with the huge Superstar on their brand, SmackDown.


#4 Help give other women some direction

WWE is filled with some of the most talented women from around the globe, and no one can deny that fact. SmackDown’s women’s roster has always been one of the best in the industry, and it has seen breakout stars such as Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, and Bayley shoot to the top in recent times.

Sasha Banks is also one of the most gifted and popular women in the company, and her move from RAW to SmackDown could help the brand develop some more high-level talent.

With the addition of many NXT Superstars in the main roster, there are a few women who could come under Banks’ wing and compete alongside her to get ahead.

Lacey Evans is one of the women who was moved from NXT to the main roster but failed to make a huge impact on RAW, even though there were a lot of expectations attached to her.

Banks could help someone like Evans or Ember Moon, or even create a faction with Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville to become their leader in Paige's absence.

Just like Alexa Bliss has done for Nikki Cross, we could see Banks do the same for some other rising Superstar on SmackDown.

#3 Reform the Boss n Hug Connection

The Boss n Hug Connection has always been among the top tag teams in the women’s roster, as we hadn’t seen too many traditional tag teams in WWE before the Women’s Tag Team Championships were unveiled.

After the introduction of the Women's Tag Team Championships, the company started pairing more women together, but gave the first reign to the ones who deserved it the most. The inaugural winners of the Championship showed a lot of promise, but lost the titles at WrestleMania 35 and ended their partnership in the process.

Bayley has recently shown a massive change in her character, and with Banks on the same brand as her, we could witness the return of the dominating tag team.

Not only can Banks help her friend defend her title, but the two could once again go after the Women’s Tag Team Championship while Bayley holds the top title. Since WWE has moved the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross to SmackDown, things could get really interesting in the coming months.

With WWE continuing to build more women's tag teams, Banks and Bayley could once again reunite and lead the movement as they are among the best known female tag teams in the WWE Universe.

#2 Book an intriguing SmackDown Women’s Championship storyline

With RAW Women's Champion Becky Lynch remaining on RAW after becoming the first overall pick during the draft, WWE allowed Bayley to remain on SmackDown with her Championship belt.

Keeping that in mind, there are a lot of new rivalries WWE could begin, and they could also revisit some existing ones. As best friends and former nemeses, we can expect Banks and Bayley to stay on the same brand for some time to come.

One of those rivalries circled around two of the best friends in WWE, Bayley and Sasha Banks. Both women have proven to be cornerstones in WWE, and their rivalries have been as interesting as their partnerships have been.

Many argue that the Women's Revolution really picked up pace after their unforgettable match at NXT TakeOver: Respect, and fans have been wanting some more of that ever since. WWE already did a decent job with the Four Horsewomen and two top Championship belts in the past couple of months.

Carrying on the same forward, they could build towards something great with the Royal Rumble pay-per-view and WrestleMania 36 in mind. The SmackDown Women's Championship is the only title Sasha needs to become a Grand Slam Champion, just like Bayley.

Heading into those two big events, WWE could build towards a Banks vs. Bayley match for the SmackDown Women’s Championship and a Charlotte vs. Becky Lynch match for the RAW Women’s Championship.

#1 Make her the face of the women's roster

Sasha Banks' blue hair will fit really well on SmackDown in the weeks to come. Her move from the RAW will help open up the scene on both brands, as her diverse character and wrestling style will help her fit very well with the current SmackDown roster.

If we take a look, there are three top tag teams on the roster in the form of The IIconics, Bliss & Cross, and Fire & Desire. Apart from those three teams and the SmackDown Women's Champion Bayley, there's Carmella, Ember Moon, and Lacey Evans who are a part of the roster.

This gives Sasha an opportunity to perform both in a tag team with Bayley, and also individually against women like Moon and Carmella. As she is one of the most accomplished women of the lot, she has the ability to become the face of the SmackDown women's roster in the months to come.

Since FOX will be looking to build a leader for their brand, Banks could prove to be the perfect option keeping in mind her character, skills, and fan following, which can really help FOX build their women's division.
