Banks is confident that she will regain the title at the upcoming pay-per-view. During a recent interview, she also revealed four superstars that she wants to face after becoming the SmackDown Women’s Champion.

"Once I become the Women's Champion again, I just got to have all these great matchups that I didn't get to have. I want to wrestle people like Liv Morgan, Zelina (Vega), Toni Storm, Tegan Nox. There are just so many women that I just haven't been in the ring yet, and on SmackDown, that's the 'Land of Opportunity' and I'm ready to give these girls a chance to see if they can stand up against The Boss," said Sasha Banks.
