Heading into WrestleMania Backlash, Bianca Belair's WWE SmackDown Women's Championship reign will be a little over 30 days old.

WWE gave Belair her crowning moment in the main event of WrestleMania 37 and hyped it accordingly. The company wouldn't have booked Belair in that spot if it didn't have big plans for her.

If the new champion was to lose in her first title defense at WrestleMania Backlash, though, much of her momentum from the Show of Shows would be gone. For this reason, WWE may choose to have Belair defeat Bayley cleanly at the pay-per-view.

By hitting the KOD in the middle of the ring and emphatically winning the match, Belair can underline her status as one of the top performers in the company.

The first-ever Women's Grand Slam Champion in WWE history, Bayley's past accomplishments mean she has enough credibility with the fans to withstand a failure against Belair. A loss at WrestleMania Backlash would do nothing to hurt Bayley's legacy.

The same cannot be said for Bianca Belair. A dominant showing for the 2021 Royal Rumble match winner makes a lot of sense.
