Bianca Belair is the brand new WWE SmackDown Women's Champion which means that every woman in the back is raring for an opportunity at her. With all due respect to Carmella and Natalya, who may definitely get shots at the title down the line, it may just be time for a brand new face to enter the division in a big way.
There's literally nothing left for Io Shirai to accomplish in NXT right now, which is why she could move up to the main roster and slug it out with Belair. Thrusting her into the SmackDown Women's Championship picture will prove to the world that she is indeed a big deal even now.
Bianca Belair and Io Shirai have both earned their stripes in NXT, and we know how good the women of the brand are. It may be time for both of them to remind us of this in an extended feud.
Is Io Shirai a future WWE SmackDown Women's Champion, you think?
