"Something new from the women's scene".

Heel challengers are rather thin on the ground for Bianca Belair on SmackDown. WWE will heat Carmella back up for a title shot at some point, and Eva Marie is on the horizon as a possible opponent, but there isn't much beyond that once she's finished with current rival Bayley.

So, would anyone be totally stunned if WWE brought Sasha Banks back into the fold and had her randomly realign with her old buddy to chase Belair together? No, this wouldn't make any sense, but swerves rarely do, and SmackDown's creative may enjoy having the heel BFF crutch to lean on weekly again.

Sasha is clearly more comfortable as a heel anyway, and Bayley feels kinda' lost without someone to bounce off of during her segments. That may force WWE's hand, and make them retread old ground by having Banks help Bayley take the title from Belair.
