Bianca Belair defeated Carmella in a title match last week
Sasha Banks went missing from television shortly after losing her WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship to Bianca Belair. She made a brief appearance demanding a title rematch but completely disappeared soon after that promo. However, a weakened women’s division of the Blue brand urgently requires Banks’ return.
Earlier this month, Bayley suffered a torn ACL and was ruled out of action for nine months. Belair is now left with no credible challengers on WWE SmackDown. She successfully defended her title against Carmella twice and might look for newer challenges on the Blue brand. The creative team will only have three weeks to set up a good title match for Belair at SummerSlam 2021.
Last week, we also saw Toni Storm make an impressive debut on WWE SmackDown. She faced Zelina Vega in a singles match and picked up a big win on her first night on the main roster.
Storm could make for an exciting title challenger for the women’s championship if Sasha Banks doesn’t return until SummerSlam. They could also look at Liv Morgan as a potential challenger for the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship.
