WWE Supersized SmackDown Preview: Brock Lesnar returns to confront Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman, response to Tony Khan’s open challenge (15th October 2021)

#2 Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch set to face each other on SmackDown

This week on SmackDown, Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks are set to face each other in a singles match. Both superstars have been feuding over the last few weeks and are set to compete in a triple-threat match, also involving Bianca Belair, at Crown Jewel 2021. All three of them were set to sign the official contract last week, but it ended in a brawl.

We saw them back again on RAW when Banks and Belair teamed up to take on Charlotte Flair and Lynch. None of them could trust the other enough to compete in the tag team match and ended up fighting amongst themselves.

Things won’t be different tonight on WWE SmackDown. However, we do hope that the match will allow both superstars a decent opportunity to put up a memorable women’s match – something that we have missed on the weekly shows.

Bianca Belair can interfere in the match and prevent a decisive finish to help protect both superstars ahead of the pay-per-view. Out of the three of them, Sasha Banks is the only one who has been drafted to SmackDown this year and she would want to make a huge statement on the show tonight.

But can Becky Lynch turn the fate by defending her title against both Belair and Banks at Crown Jewel?

#1 WWE official returns to action on SmackDown

Naomi has been involved in a backstage conflict with WWE official Sonya Deville for the last few weeks. The latter refused to book her in any match on the Blue brand and things escalated in the weeks that followed. Finally, Deville decided to book Naomi in a match and shocked the world by confirming her in-ring return a week in advance.

They are both set to face each other in a singles match tonight on SmackDown, which would be Sonya Deville's first match in over a year. Fans have missed both the superstars in regular matches and will welcome them back to the squared circle with open arms.

That said, one cannot rule out the possibility of Deville introducing a surprise name to take her place in the match against Naomi. Also, can this bout finally prompt the former women's champion to join Roman Reigns and The Usos who practically bully everyone in WWE?
