WWE SmackDown before Royal Rumble Preview: Roman Reigns destroys Kevin Owens, top Superstar becomes favourite to win at the PPV? (Jan 29th, 2021)

#2 Bianca Belair emerges as top Royal Rumble favorite on WWE SmackDown

Bianca Belair should get a big push on WWE SmackDown

Last week on WWE SmackDown, Bianca Belair and Bayley competed in an obstacle race challenge. The latter made the competition significantly difficult for her opponent. However, Belair prevailed and shocked the audience during one of the spots when she lifted Otis on her shoulder. She ended up winning the race, but Bayley decided to attack her.

This week, we could see both these Superstars lock horns in a singles match. A victory for Bianca Belair would be a much-needed addition to Belair’s momentum as she is one of the top favorites to win the Women’s Royal Rumble. The creative could use tonight’s episode of WWE SmackDown to push her even more.

Between the likes of Alexa Bliss and Rhea Ripley, Belair would be the best option to emerge as the next challenger in the title picture. She is expected to win the Royal Rumble and challenge Sasha Banks for the WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship. Thus, she could use a big win over a former titleholder with whom she has been feuding for a few weeks.
