WWE SmackDown Preview: Big Steel Cage match booked, Roman Reigns’ Fastlane match, champion in jeopardy? (March 5th, 2021)

#2 Sasha Banks’ grey alliance with Reginald on WWE SmackDown

This title feud will now get more intense

As confirmed on the previous episode of WWE SmackDown, Bianca Belair is set to challenge Sasha Banks for her title at WrestleMania. The 2021 Women’s Royal Rumble winner has her eyes set on the WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship and is determined to get her hands on the title at The Grandest Stage of Them All.

As of now, Banks is a babyface, but her last few appearances on WWE SmackDown have shown us that she is playing the line between confidence and arrogance. She is expected to turn heel as we inch closer to WrestleMania. These rumors have also been fueled by Reginald, who continues to lurk in Banks’ corner.

Either Reginald has decided to jump ship, or he is playing a long con on WWE SmackDown. Either way, we expect to see interesting developments involving him as this storyline moves forward. It will be exciting to see how Banks and Belair will carry their feud ahead of WrestleMania as both Superstars have already set high expectations amidst the fans.

It was also confirmed that Banks and Belair will team up to challenge Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler in a women's tag team title match at Fastlane. They previously challenged the Champions at Elimination Chamber but Jax and Baszler successfully defended their titles.

For tonight, WWE has confirmed a singles match between Belair and Baszler. Both Superstars share a long history dating back to their feud over the NXT Women's Championships and they are expected to deliver an entertaining in-ring battle.
