#3 Hit on WWE SmackDown: Sasha Banks returns

Sasha Banks returned on WWE SmackDown tonight

The biggest surprise on tonight’s WWE SmackDown witnessed the return of six-time women’s champion Sasha Banks. This was The Boss' first appearance on the Blue brand since losing the women’s championship to Bianca Belair at WrestleMania 37.

It all started when Carmella asked for another shot at the WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship. Soon, Zelina Vega walked out and demanded she should be next in line. Belair even agreed to the challenge, but Vega and Carmella ruthlessly attacked her. Sasha Banks then ran to the squared circle to save Belair while the entire arena rose to its feet to welcome the former champion.

Banks took out both Vega and Carmella before hugging Belair, a subtle nod to their historic moment at WrestleMania. She returned for WWE SmackDown’s main event, where she teamed up with Bianca Belair to take on Carmella and Zelina Vega in a tag team match.

All four superstars delivered good performances, but Banks outshone everyone else inside the ring. Banks forced Carmella to submit to the Bank Statement to pick up a victory following an entertaining match.

She celebrated with Belair for a couple of minutes before hitting the champion with a backstabber. Banks continued to lay out a vicious attack on Belair before raising the WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship in the air.

Banks might finally get her title rematch against Bianca Belair, and both superstars could face each other at SummerSlam. Hopefully, we will see them engage in an intense feud on WWE SmackDown in the coming weeks.
