8 Ups & 13 Downs For WWE In 2021
6. Sasha Banks Vs Bianca Belair, WrestleMania 37
SmackDown Women's Champion Sasha Banks and Royal Rumble winner Bianca Belair were buoyant before and just after the bell rang for their main event match. WWE's various social media accounts made it official on the day of the show - 'The Boss' and 'The EST' were going on last on a history-making night, and how richly deserved the prestigious spot was.
This was a magnificent show to cap off the show - Banks and Belair complimented each other wonderfully in a battle of in-ring experience versus athletic excellence over a title that meant the world to both of them.
Going full heel to sell a one-night story in the absence of a good one in the build, 'The Boss' was in sublime form when she finally took control of the pace. That this happened after Belair's incredible strength game enhanced narrative - Banks had to earn the win if she was going to get one, and saw the challenger's hair as a power worth nullifying.
The plan failed, and the resultant ear-splitting kill-shot justified Sasha's strategy. Belair cut the Champion open with an eye-watering whip before the K.O.D finished the job to conclude one of the best WrestleMania main events in years.
