WWE SmackDown Preview: Roman Reigns’ surprise attack, big return after 7 months, two top superstars to hijack title picture? (May 7th, 2021)

#4 Sasha Banks attacks the WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion

Bianca Belair and Bayley should look out for Sasha Banks on WWE SmackDown

Bianca Belair is set to defend her WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship against Bayley at WrestleMania Backlash. The two superstars share a long history and are expected to deliver an intense title feud leading up to the upcoming pay-per-view. However, both superstars need to look out for Sasha Banks, who lost the aforementioned title to Belair at WrestleMania 37.

Banks has openly admitted that she should not have lost her gold and declared her intention to go after Belair once again. We could see her orchestrate a brutal attack on both Belair and her former best friend Bayley to prove a point. This might lead to Banks being added to the WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship match at WrestleMania Backlash, and we could get a triple-threat title bout between three talented superstars who can’t stand each other.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

While Banks and Belair faced each other in a good match at WrestleMania 37, their title feud leading up to the pay-per-view lacked intensity on WWE SmackDown. The creative has an opportunity to right that wrong by allowing both booking Banks in a brutal title feud with Belair. Bayley’s respective feuds with both Belair and Banks will make this match-up all the more exciting.
