At SummerSlam 2021, Sasha Banks will face Bianca Belair in a bid to reclaim the SmackDown Women’s Championship. She's been incredible as a heel ever since she returned on the Blue brand last month. Fans have high expectations from their upcoming match, which could end with a huge title change.
Belair is one of the biggest babyfaces on SmackDown at the moment. While she has done a good job with the women’s championship, she has mostly feuded with Bayley and Banks for over a year. A potential title change at SummerSlam would allow both superstars to continue their feud beyond the pay-per-view while the creative team invests in other talents.

The SmackDown Women’s division lacks competition, and it would not be easy to build up a credible challenger within three weeks. We can see Banks and Belair engage in a lengthy championship feud after SummerSlam, and it can also feature Zelina Vega and Carmella at intervals.
Hopefully, someone like Toni Storm can be billed as the next big thing on the Blue brand, while Belair and Banks keep the women’s championship picture interesting.
Belair is a good champion, but she needs better rivalries. At the moment, Sasha Banks is the only one who can pose a believable threat to her title reign, and this storyline will turn stale if all their title encounters end in the same result.
Prediction: Sasha Banks beats Bianca Belair to win the SmackDown Women’s Championship
