Many fans are upset about Becky Lynch defeating Bianca Belair tonight to become the new SmackDown Women's Champion. While we do agree that there was no need for Lynch to squash Belair in that manner, but The EST of WWE might just benefit from the loss in the long run.

The women's roster of SmackDown is very thin currently, majorly due to the several WWE releases since the beginning of the year. Bianca Belair has just been feuding with the same few women over and over again.

If she had defeated Becky Lynch tonight, who would have been left on the Blue brand for her to feud with? We are definitely in for a proper Lynch vs. Belair feud after what happened tonight at SummerSlam 2021.

#1 A possible heel turn from Bianca Belair after getting squashed by Becky Lynch?

A wise man once said, WWE fans are "fickle". While the entire WWE Universe was completely behind the babyface Bianca Belair to win the SmackDown Women's Championship at WrestleMania 37, many of those very fans have turned on her after she won the title.

Truth be told, her title reign hasn't been that great, mostly due to the booking. Getting squashed by Becky Lynch tonight at SummerSlam could lead to a change of character for Belair, a possible heel turn, or at least a new edge to her EST of WWE gimmick.

Bianca Belair had a great run as a heel back in NXT, and she could do the same on SmackDown in the coming months. The brand is currently without a top heel like Bayley and Sasha Banks, and Belair could be the one to fill that void. This would be much better than a simple face vs. face feud against The Man.
