#4 Sasha Banks expressed her heelish tendencies during WWE SmackDown
Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair finally moved away from the tag team melodrama on WWE SmackDown. Belair went head-to-head against Natalya during this week's episode.
Banks came out at one point, which distracted Belair from the match at hand. The initial shenanigans between Banks and Belair seemed like standard tropes that have no place in their feud at this stage. The SmackDown Women's Champion sat in on commentary for this match, and her attitude made it clear that she will be the heel to Belair's babyface character.

Towards the end of the bout, however, Belair retaliated against her WrestleMania opponent when she slapped Banks outside the ring. She then went inside to successfully pin Natalya. After the match, Banks entered the ring to hit Belair with a backstabber in retaliation.
The increased focus on their one-on-one rivalry is an appreciable development. Let's hope that WWE can go all-in on the animosity between the two stars before WrestleMania. Regardless of what happens next, Sasha Banks vs. Bianca Belair will most likely be an excellent match at The Show of Shows.
