WWE SmackDown Preview: Surprise for Roman Reigns, WrestleMania title feud set to begin? (Feb 5th, 2021)

#2 Bianca Belair challenges Sasha Banks for the WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship at WrestleMania

Bianca Belair has her eyes set on the prize

On Sunday, Bianca Belair won the Women’s Royal Rumble after an excellent showing. She is expected to address her victory on WWE SmackDown this week. If the creative will take their time with Edge’s final decision, then we might see Bianca Belair make her choice sometime soon.

Belair was always billed as the next big thing in the women’s division. She has had brief interactions with Sasha Banks in the past, but both Superstars teamed up instead of facing each other. That could change on WWE SmackDown this week if Belair declares her intention to challenge Banks for the title at WrestleMania.

Interestingly both Belair and Banks are babyfaces right now. Hence, we could see a plausible heel turn as we inch closer to the biggest pay-per-view of the year. The two Superstars are extremely talented and can deliver a brutal feud as we inch closer to The Grandest Stage of Them All. It has been a while since we saw a big rivalry involving the WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship and it could very well change tonight.
