#4 Bianca Belair looks for next challenger on WWE SmackDown

Bianca Belair should keep an eye out for Sasha Banks

Bianca Belair successfully defended her WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship against Bayley at WrestleMania Backlash. It was an impressive bout that helped in kickstarting Belair’s title run on a great note. She will now look for her next challenger, and it could be her former nemesis, Sasha Banks. Both superstars last met at WrestleMania when Banks lost her title to Belair.

After the pay-per-view, Banks made it clear that she is not yet done with Bianca Belair and that she would return for her title rematch. It is possible that she will attack Belair tonight and demand a shot at the latter’s WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship. This could eventually lead to a brutal match between both the talented superstars at Hell in a Cell next month.

Although the WrestleMania match between Banks and Belair was incredible, their feud leading up to the pay-per-view was quite underwhelming. The creative will have the opportunity to rectify that mistake by booking them again in a more intense feud. Banks is a brilliant heel, and she should be allowed to go after Belair with everything she has, now that she has nothing to lose.
