Update on Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair's WWE SummerSlam status - Reports

After some doubts regarding the status of Bianca Belair vs. Sasha Banks at WWE SummerSlam, it seems like the match will go ahead. The two women have reportedly been cleared to compete ahead of their big match.

There had been some backstage concern within WWE that Banks and Belair would be unable to make the event. After appearing in the closing segment of last week's episode of SmackDown, the pair missed two live events in North and South Carolina over the weekend due to "unforeseen circumstances."

Mike Johnson of PWInsider has issued an update on the situation, reporting that Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair are "cleared" to perform. They will be at SmackDown and SummerSlam this weekend, barring "something unforeseen." The report states the following:

For those wondering about the status of Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair after they missed this past weekend's WWE live events in the Carolinas, PWInsider.com has been told they are "cleared" to perform and barring "something unforseen" will be at Friday Night Smackdown and Summerslam this coming weekend.

Bianca Belair vs. Sasha Banks II at WWE SummerSlam is a WrestleMania rematch

Fans will be relieved at reports that the match will proceed as earlier advertised. Belair and Banks first battled over the SmackDown Women's Championship during Night One of WrestleMania 37.

The women made history that night as they main-evented the show. The match was also great, with both women enjoying terrific in-ring chemistry. The EST of WWE won the match and has kept the SmackDown Women's Title since.

Meanwhile, The Legit Boss took a hiatus post-WrestleMania and recently returned to WWE TV. She turned heel and staked her claim for a rematch, which has since been signed for SummerSlam.

While Bianca Belair and Sasha Banks are set to light up The Biggest Party of The Summer, there is still no word on what the "unforeseen circumstances" from this past weekend were.

Regardless, we're happy that the match is happening. Who do you think will win?
