Welcome back to wrestling world!
Today we’ll be taking a look at the confirmed news of Sasha Banks vs Bianca Belair taking
place at Wrestlemania
So it’s now official, as everyone expected, Bianca Belair selected Sasha Banks to be her
Wrestlemania opponent
WWE has been stressing the idea of this being the main event of Wrestlemania, which technically
can be true, Wrestlemania is a two night event this year, so it’s sounding like this will
be the main event of one of the two nights
But more on that later, let’s back track to where we last left off with this Sasha
Banks vs Bianca Belair Storyline
Last time we talked about Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair, Bianca still had not selected
a Wrestlemania opponent and was just flirting with the idea of selecting Sasha Banks
Bianca Belair and Sasha Banks then found themselves as the number one contenders for the women’s
tag team championships at Elimination Chamber
So despite the fact that Bianca Belair could be a big threat to take that title away from
Sasha Banks at Wrestlemania, the two of them still seemed to be very cool with each other
and teamed up for the opportunity to win the tag titles
They didn’t have a big meltdown performance or suffer any major miscommunications, but
they were still unsuccessful in that match
Sasha Banks ended up eating the pin from Nia Jax in that match
It seems like WWE’s logic there was that Sasha was already well established, it won’t
hurt her if she got pinned by Nia Jax, but Bianca Belair getting pinned would really
hurt Bianca, so that seems to be the explanation for Sasha taking the pin in that tag team
match
They didn’t get into a massive fight about not winning the tag titles, but Sasha Banks
did make an Instagram post with a very strange message that could’ve had a hidden meaning
Sasha posted a picture with Bianca Belair from Elimination Chamber, but the interesting
part here is the caption of the photo
It said: “You got the right one”.
“I don’t really want no friends” with a couple of hashtags that included Auska,
Wrestlemania, Sasha Banks, and more
So those two lines right there, where are they from?
Well Sasha Banks was quoting Nicki Minaj.
Both of those lines of “you got the right one” and “I don’t really want no friends”
comes from Nicki’s “Fefe” track
Sasha’s usage of “You got the right one” most likely means that she’s saying Bianca
is with the right champion and going to select the right one at Wrestlemania
Sasha Banks is a very confident character, so there’s no doubt that she’s views herself
as the better champion than Aus-ka, so that probably is the best explanation for that
first line in the caption
But the second line of “I don’t really want no friends” is interesting, is that
a message or a shot at Bianca Belair?
Sort of telling her that “even though we’re cool, you’re not my friend” sort of thing?
It’s definitely a possibility, Sasha is making it clear that she doesn’t have no
one that she really views as a friend, so that could be seen as a little jab at Bianca
Belair
But fast forward to Smackdown, it was time for Bianca Belair’s decision
She gets introduced by Adam Pearce and Sonya Deville and they hyped up the fact that whatever
match Bianca chooses will be the main event of Wrestlemania
Everyone pretty much figured Bianca Belair would select Sasha Banks, it’s not like
it was actually a mystery, Sasha Banks was right in front of her, they’re live on Smackdown,
there was just no way she was just going to select Aus-ka
Sasha Banks comes out and sort of repeats what she’s been saying over the last few
weeks that Bianca Belair isn’t the best, she’s the best, and proceeds to laugh and
mock Bianca Belair
This caused Bianca Belair to select Sasha Banks right then and there and the match was
set
Some fans are wondering with Sasha’s comments over the last few weeks, if she’s slowly
transitioning back into the heel role, but it doesn’t seem like that at all
That’s just Sasha’s character, she’s still technically a babyface, but her character
is a bit edgy and has some tweener traits to herself.
She’s very cocky, confident, and believes that she’s the best, so it’s understandable
why she takes offense to another woman saying that they’re the best superstar
So no, it’s not a heel turn, at least not yet, that’s just Sasha’s character.
Which is great because sometimes when you have a face vs face feud, it could get a bit
obnoxious with the two of them throwing non stop compliments at each other, so at least
in this feud we have two strong babyface characters that both believe they’re better than the
other, so that will be great for the storytelling
Let’s talk about a character that’s lurking in the background that could play spoiler
to this feud and potentially ruin it and that is Reginald
So yeah, what is Reginald’s purpose in this story and why does he continue to include
himself with Sasha and Bianca?
He literally has no role in this story yet they feel the need to include him in every
single segment with Sasha and Bianca
There is no need for him, fans are very excited for Sasha Banks vs Bianca Belair and that
feud does not need any help from Reginald at all
If anything, Reginald is going to do the opposite and make fans lose interest in the story
Remember when WWE put James Ellsworth into the middle of the women’s money in the bank
match and all the controversy that caused because WWE just needed to include a man into
that historic women’s match
So basically it’s the same idea here, Reginald is not needed and should not interfere in
this historical women’s matchup
It’s hard to even know for sure what Reginald is doing right now and what his direction
is
We thought he was working for Carmella and loyal to Carmella, yet for the last few weeks,
he’s been an absolute fanboy and going crazy for Sasha Banks
Some fans thought that maybe it’s all part of a big scheme him and Carmella are up to,
but we had a segment a few weeks ago where Carmella scolded him for what he was saying
and what he was up to, so that basically debunks the idea that it’s a big plan from Carmella
So it is very weird and has fans worried, clearly they’re going somewhere with Reginald
and this Sasha Banks vs Bianca Belair Matchup, but we can only hope he doesn’t interfere
to the level that James Ellsworth once did
Reginald won’t be helping the story, he’ll be hurting it, let Sasha and Bianca buildup
the story on their own, nothing here concerns Reginald at all, so his constant inclusion
in everything is very strange
Of course there’s a lot of time left before Wrestlemania and there’s even another pay
per view before Wrestlemania, so maybe everything with Reginald is just a filler story?
WWE tends to do that on the road to Wrestlemania.
Such as what we’re seeing right now with Daniel Bryan vs Roman Reigns, it’s not to
insult it by calling it a filler story, but that’s basically what it is
No one expects Daniel Bryan to win the universal title, the Wrestlemania main event is already
booked to be edge vs Roman Reigns, nothing is going to change that
So it’ll still be great to see the Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan story unfold for Fastlane,
but it’s basically just filler until Wrestlemania gets closer and we can officially start building
up to edge vs Roman Reigns
So that brings up the question of what will be the filler storyline for Sasha Banks and
Bianca Belair?
We thought WWE was doing something with them and the tag team titles, but that wasn’t
the case
Maybe the filler storyline for Sasha and Bianca will be something with Reginald and Carmella
Maybe this will unfold to Carmella getting involved and maybe a big mixed tag team match
of Sasha and Bianca vs Carmella and Reginald
That’ll also be a good spot to build more tension between Sasha and Bianca
Maybe a few forced tag-ins from Sasha and Bianca just for them to start getting on each
other’s nerves and really build up that tension
So a mixed tag match with Carmella and Reginald would actually be useful in that sense, but
Reginald getting involved in the actual Wrestlemania story is very scary because he’s serves
no purpose in that case
