#5 Bianca Belair (confronted Sasha Banks on WWE SmackDown)
This week’s episode of WWE SmackDown finally marked the beginning of the much-awaited feud between Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair. The two are set to face each other at WrestleMania with Banks’ SmackDown Women’s Championship on the line. They also teamed up to challenge Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler for the Women’s Tag Team Championships at Fastlane. After their loss at the pay-per-view, Banks had slapped Belair to show who is the leader.
Last night, she sat with the commentary team as Belair faced Natalya on WWE SmackDown. Belair was dominant right from the beginning of the match and managed to counter Natalya’s attacks. She also had a brief confrontation with Banks outside the ring, which ended with Belair slapping the WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion to return the favor from Sunday.
Belair went back inside the ring and won her match against Natalya. But soon, Banks snuck up from behind and delivered a Backstabber. Both these superstars are brilliant performers and are now expected to engage in a brutal feud on WWE SmackDown. With Belair being booked as the top babyface, it will be interesting to see how Banks responds to her challenger over the coming weeks.
