WWE SmackDown Preview: Big betrayal involving Roman Reigns, surprise return before WrestleMania Backlash, title change on the cards? (May 14th, 2021)

#5 Bianca Belair hits back at Bayley on WWE SmackDown

Bianca Belair will want to settle the score with Bayley

WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion Bianca Belair is set to put her title on the line against Bayley at WrestleMania Backlash. The build-up to this title bout has been brief but intense. Last week, we saw The Role Model deliver an incredible promo before she was involved in an alteration with Belair. Bayley stood tall at the end of the segment after she brutalized the champion in the middle of the ring.

Tonight on WWE SmackDown, Belair will look to even things out before their title match at the upcoming pay-per-view. She would want to send a strong message to her challenger and the rest of the WWE Universe by gaining the upper hand in their meeting tonight. We could see a war of words turn into a ruthless exchange of blows within a blink of an eye.

It is also important to note that Sasha Banks continues to pose a serious threat to the SmackDown Women’s Championship. She has feuded with both Bayley and Belair in the past and could lay a surprise attack on them tonight. That being said, Bianca Belair is still expected to have the lion's share of momentum on her side ahead of her title defense at WrestleMania Backlash.
