WWE SmackDown: 5 Last-Minute Predictions for the Draft - Unexpected #1 Pick, Major Faction Splits

#1 Sasha Banks moves to the blue brand

Sasha Banks to SmackDown!

After a hiatus following WrestleMania, Sasha Banks returned to WWE on the night after SummerSlam. While many fans were expecting her to straightaway go after her best-friend Bayley's SmackDown Women's title, WWE decided to put her up against the RAW Women's Champion Becky Lynch instead.

The two women went at each other inside Hell in a Cell last week, with Becky Lynch coming out on top. While it could be argued that Banks should have gone over in that match since she hasn't had a major victory following her return, WWE now has the task to rebuild her somewhat-lost momentum.

The best way to do that would be to draft her to the blue brand - and there are many reasons to do that other than the fact that her hair color has SmackDown written all over it. Even though she lost her feud with Becky, fans were very impressed with her heel work as well as the amazing matches that she put on - with many even calling her the best bumper that the Women's division has ever seen.

A move to Friday Night SmackDown could open up multiple possibilities for the future of the Boss including an old revisited rivalry against the current SmackDown Women's Champion, Charlotte, but with the roles reversed this time. Will it be Boss Time on Friday Nights?
