6 Things WWE subtly told us on SmackDown: Future opponent for Roman Reigns teased, Top superstar's push officially canceled?

#3 Bianca Belair reigns supreme on SmackDown, but who's next?

Bianca Belair retained the SmackDown Women's Championship

SmackDown Women's Champion Bianca Belair is a star and if you don't believe it, listen to the reaction she got on SmackDown last night. She has all the makings of a top athlete and in the first show back with crowds, she impressed.

Her SmackDown Women's title defense at Money in the Bank was canceled because of Bayley's injury. The Role Model is expected to be out for close to nine months.

Instead, WWE advanced the match to two days before Money in the Bank and former SmackDown Women's Champion Carmella competed for the title.

Carmella was never going to win and Bianca Belair disposed of her in an enjoyable match. But the big question is as to who is next for Belair heading into SummerSlam?

Although Sasha Banks was advertised for this week's SmackDown earlier, she didn't turn up. We expect her to return to restart her feud with Bianca Belair on SmackDown.

It looks like Shotzi Blackhart and Tegan Nox, the two newest SmackDown stars, will now simply go by the names "Shotzi" and "Nox". We're not sure why WWE does this, but they seem to shorten names for no reason.

Either way, the two fresh faces gained momentum on SmackDown with another big victory over the Women's Tag Team Champions. Of course, it should be mentioned that Zelina Vega and Liv Morgan were ringside sitting by the SmackDown announcer's desk.

Vega and Morgan got into a brawl ringside that directly impacted the outcome of the match, helping the babyfaces win. While we're not sure if SmackDown's Liv Morgan will win the Money in the Bank briefcase, she certainly is a favorite to get the job done on Sunday.
