Sasha Banks returned to WWE TV with a bang on Friday's episode of SmackDown, and the 'Legit Boss' all-but-confirmed that she'll wrestle Bianca Belair for the SmackDown Women's Title at SummerSlam on 21 August.

Banks saved Belair from a kicking at the hands of Carmella and Zelina Vega earlier in the show, then teamed with Bianca to beat the heels in a bumper tag-team match main event. Afterwards, Sasha beat the living sh*t out of her WrestleMania 37 opponent and set the table for a rematch later this month.

SmackDown ended with Banks locking Belair in her 'Banks Statement' submission. To recap, in the span of just two short hours, Sasha seemed to turn full-on babyface then went back to full-on heel - that's not a knock though, because the angle was handled very, very well and came out great on screen.

WWE hasn't confirmed the SummerSlam match yet, but it's surely only a matter of time before they do. Fans had been wondering who'd be Bianca's rival on the pay-per-view. Now, following Banks' comeback and assault, it seems everyone has their answer.
