WWE SmackDown Preview: Major addition to title match at Fastlane, biggest in-ring return of the decade confirmed for the show (March 19, 2021)

#2 Sasha Banks set to defend her WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship against Nia Jax

Sasha Banks will look to defend her title successfully

WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion Sasha Banks has a busy few days ahead of her. She is set to team up with Bianca Belair to challenge Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler for the Women’s Tag Team Championships at Fastlane. But before that, Banks has a massive challenge awaiting her on WWE SmackDown tonight.

As confirmed last week, Banks will put her WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship on the line against Jax. The two superstars have crossed paths on several occasions over the past year. In fact, Jax and Baszler won their tag titles the first time after defeating Banks and Bayley. Now Jax has her eyes set on Banks’ championship once again, and interestingly, it was all Reginald’s idea.

It seems highly unlikely that the WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship title will change hands tonight. We expect Banks to come out on top in this title match and lose the tag team title match. That result will ultimately kickstart the feud between Banks and her tag team partner, Belair, who are scheduled to compete for the women’s title at WrestleMania.
