Bianca Belair and former SmackDown Women's Champion Sasha Banks

Bianca Belair defeated Sasha Banks to become the new WWE SmackDown Women's Champion at WrestleMania 37. While Banks hasn't been an integral part of weekly television since then, Belair's title reign kicked off with a feud against Bayley.

As WWE is set to resume live touring from the July 16th edition of SmackDown, Edge and Sasha Banks are being advertised for the show, which will take place at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas.

During a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, Bianca Belair reflected on her WrestleMania match against Sasha Banks. The EST of WWE spoke about the significance of their high-stakes bout. Additionally, Belair revealed that she is "fully expecting a rematch" against her WrestleMania opponent.

“That night at WrestleMania, our match was about so much more than winning the title,” said Bianca Belair. “We made history. And I’m fully expecting a rematch."

A top AEW star just called one of his colleagues 'spoiled' and 'narcissistic' HERE.

“That moment was bigger than us," Belair added. "Even though I won the title, no one lost that night. That’s why there are videos of Sasha smiling at the end. She had so much fulfillment from what came out of that match. Now, when she comes back and the title is on the line, we’ll see who walks out as champion.”

Although Bianca Belair is looking forward to a rematch against Sasha Banks, the current WWE SmackDown Women's Champion's recent feud with Bayley must conclude soon.
