This week's episode of WWE SmackDown looks very interesting on paper

#2 Sasha Banks gets a shot at the WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship

Bianca Belair's era has begun on WWE SmackDown

Last week on WWE SmackDown, Sasha Banks made it clear that she is still not over her loss against Bianca Belair in their title match at WrestleMania 37. The latter won the SmackDown Women's Championship and stated that she will start a new era on the Blue brand. However, she needs to keep an eye out for Banks, who is actively seeking another opportunity to get her hands on Belair and her title.

Apart from Banks, Bayley also revealed that she wants to go after the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship. She was involved in a feud with Belair earlier this year and the two superstars are expected to engage in a title match soon. That being said, Banks continues to remain the biggest threat to Belair's maiden title run in WWE.

Female superstar says she inspired John Cena turning heel HERE

We will most likely see Banks challenge Belair for the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship at WrestleMania Backlash. Their previous title encounter was the main event. While their match was good, their storyline didn’t have enough build-up to keep their in-ring meeting interesting. The creative will have a chance to rectify that mistake before their next pay-per-view.
