#4 Should happen at Extreme Rules 2021: Bianca Belair redeems herself against Becky Lynch

Expand Tweet

WWE Extreme Rules will finally witness the much-awaited title rematch between Bianca Belair and Becky Lynch. The latter made a surprise return at SummerSlam last month and defeated Belair in less than 30 seconds to win the SmackDown Women’s Championship. The EST of WWE had to fight for a while, but she finally got another shot at gold.

Throughout the build-up to their rematch, Belair has insisted that she only lost because she was not prepared to face Lynch at SummerSlam. However, she now seems more than ready to take on The Man.

We might not see the SmackDown Women’s title change hands at Extreme Rules, but Bianca Belair should still get the opportunity to look equally strong while standing across from Becky Lynch inside the ring.

Belair and Lynch faced each other in a singles match during the recently concluded WWE UK Tour, and they tore the house down with their respective performances. They are bound to do the same once again at Extreme Rules if they are given ample opportunities to showcase their strengths.

The creative team can’t afford to make Bianca Belair look weak, especially after they spent so long building her up as the strongest competitor in the women’s division.
