WWE SmackDown: 2 Superstars who flopped and 3 who impressed – Roman Reigns destroyed by Kevin Owens, Champion competes in unusual match (Jan 22nd, 2021)

#2 Impressed on WWE SmackDown: Sasha Banks

Sasha Banks came across as a dominant champion

Sasha Banks has been feuding with Carmella ever since the latter returned on WWE SmackDown. While Banks has had the upper hand in this rivalry, Carmella has a couple of wins under her belt against the women’s champion, thanks to Reginald's interferences.

Recently, an irked Sasha Banks challenged Reginald to a match, and the two locked horns on WWE SmackDown this week. This match was far from the usual (relatively rare) matches that feature opponents from opposite genders. Reginald was booked strongly in a welcome surprise, which made Banks’ performance look much more impressive inside the ring.

Sasha Banks was outsmarted by Reginald several times as the latter relied on sneaky moves to get out of trouble. This allowed Banks to deal with a whole new level of challenges, and she did very well in holding off on her own against Reginald. In the end, Banks won the match via submission in a memorable match on WWE SmackDown.

It is expected that Sasha Banks will continue her feud with Carmella, who was upset about Reginald’s loss. In the meantime, Reginald has shown his potential while Sasha Banks proved that she deserves to be on the top of the women’s roster and dominate the division. It will be interesting to see how the result of this match will influence this storyline on WWE SmackDown as we move forward.
