Criminally ignored since hitting the main roster, the time has come for Bianca Belair to stand front and centre. The former EST of NXT has been racking up wins on Main Event but they are about as useful as the proverbial ashtray on a motorbike. If a tree falls in the woods, there's a chance it had more viewers than Main Event.

Much like its tag team division, SmackDown's women's roster took a bit of a hit in the draft. Naomi, Alexa Bliss, Nikki Cross and Lacey Evans were lost to RAW, with only Natalya moving in the other direction. Well, Natalya and Bianca Belair that is.

Sasha Banks and Bayley will continue their feud over the SmackDown Women's Championship but someone needs to be the next in the line, and there is no reason why that person can't be Belair. In fact, it must be Belair. The next few months should see Bianca consistently pick up wins over the rest of the division, coming out on top of mini-feuds with performers like Natalya and Carmella.

Belair's potential is huge, but you can't exist on potential forever, WWE must pull the trigger on her, and they must do it now.
