#4 Bayley and Sasha Banks could be huge players in Bianca Belair's WWE SmackDown Championship reign

Bianca Belair delivered a post-WrestleMania victory speech during this week's WWE SmackDown. As The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) stood beside her, she highlighted the importance of self-confidence and how her WrestleMania dream came true because of it.

Belair cut a traditional babyface promo to encapsulate her recent achievements. She also acknowledged Sasha Banks for being in the spotlight with her, although The EST of WWE wouldn't hold back if Banks tried to jeopardize Belair's title reign in the future.

That's exactly what could happen soon, as Banks seemed visibly frustrated in a backstage interview following Belair's speech. WWE fans witnessed the mark left on Banks' ribs as a result of the SmackDown Women's Championship match at WrestleMania. She did not speak a word and walked away from the interview.

Later, Bayley mocked Banks' reaction to the whole situation. She also questioned Belair's credibility as a champion and expressed her wish to enter the title picture once again.

If Sasha Banks and Bayley challenge Bianca Belair at the same time, it's likely that a triple threat showdown could take place at WWE WrestleMania Backlash.
