In an advertisement for Friday Night SmackDown that was sent out to fans, it lists Bayley as Bianca Belair’s challenger for WrestleMania Backlash. This is shown to be a SmackDown Women’s Championship match.
Belair defeated Sasha Banks to win the SmackDown Women’s Title at WrestleMania two weeks ago in a historic main event. Bayley was left without a match for the event but stole the show as an extra host for both nights.
Last week Belair took the time to celebrate her momentous victory while providing a little jab to Banks. This enraged Banks to the point where she wasn’t able to get out any words to demand a rematch.
Bayley then stepped in and said that if Banks can’t ask for a rematch then she wants to bring prestige back to the SmackDown Women’s Title and wants a match against the new champion.
What do you think about Bayley taking on Bianca at WrestleMania Backlash?

The storytelling was there, the action was there, but when it came to Dakota Kai and Raquel Gonzalez getting the win it wasn’t in their favor. What caused them to lose however was controversial in nature. Kai went to sleep as she was locked into Baszler’s Kirifuda Clutch which led to the call for the match. However, Kai wasn’t the legal competitor.
Prior to this decision, Gonzalez tagged into the match. She then took out Jax who was on the ring apron but at the same time knocked the official (Aja Smith) down. With the referee unresponsive, the two went launching over the announce table leaving Baszler and Kai in the ring.
With the referee still down, Adam Pearce shows up with a RAW referee in tow to finish the match. That official, Shawn Bennett, then calls for the bell with Kai locked in the Kirifuda Clutch.
I am grateful to have had you at the ready when @RefAjaWWE unfortunately went down. Don’t listen to the vitriol, Shawn. You called the action in front of you and none of us can ask any more than that. Total respect to the four incredible women in that battle! #WWENXThttps://t.co/wdA0mEq90z
Because of this controversy, General Manager William Regal and Pearce were seen arguing later on in a conference room. Afterward, Regal made a big statement that he will be making an announcement on next week’s NXT that will change the landscape of the brand. What could this mean?!?!
What did you think of this match result? Do you think Gonzalez & Kai will end up getting a rematch? What is Regal going to announce? Leave your thoughts below.
Bianca Belair has made it official that she has chosen to go against Sasha Banks for the SmackDown Women’s Title at WrestleMania. From winning the Royal Rumble match in January, Belair had an important decision to make. Which champion should she go after?
She stands front and center in the ring alongside authority figures Adam Pearce and Sonya Deville to give her answer. Belair starts by saying the choices that one makes defines who they are and her choice is clear. As she is about to make the announcement, Reginald interrupts her.
Reginald declares that Belair is special and says she is living her dreams. However, he stays strong in his stance that if she chooses to face Banks then her dreams will become a quick nightmare. Banks then enters the ring and pushes Reginald to the side after reminding him that he has been told to never speak for her.
Banks says that she isn’t just the champion but she is the standard. If Belair wants to make history and be the topic of conversation then she would choose her to face at WrestleMania. She continues saying that she doesn’t believe that Belair is the EST because she herself is the best. This would make her number one and would make Belair second best.
Belair said that she is going to make Banks eat her words on the grandest stage of them all. Confidently, she says she is going to take Banks’ title and will go on to prove that she is the b-E-S-T of WWE.
“So Sasha, [obligatory point to the WrestleMania sign] it’s on!!”
Also on this week’s SmackDown, Liv Morgan faced Tamina in a singles match. Tamina picked up the win by delivering a Samoan Drop following up by driving Morgan into the mat.
Check back in with Diva Dirt for further news on SmackDown and WrestleMania which will take place on April 10 & April 11.
Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax are still the Women’s Tag Team Champions after their victory at Elimination Chamber. They defeated Bianca Belair & SmackDown Women’s Champion Sasha Banks. Shockingly, Banks took the fall on a pin by Jax.
As the action dwindled down in the match, Jax receives a Meteora by Banks where she gets a near fall. Reginald then makes his way down to the ring with a champagne bottle. Carmella’s sommelier has been suspiciously on the side of Banks as of late. Banks is able to get Jax in the Bank Statement despite the appearance of Reginald.
After Jax is able to get out of the submission, Reginald hands Banks the champagne bottle. This gets the referee’s attention who snatches the bottle. This left Banks confused about the situation that she is distracted enough for Jax to capitalize. After a Samoan Drop, Jax pins the SmackDown Women’s Champion and retains the tag titles.
Jax and Baszler have another title defense set up for March 3 against NXT’s Dakota Kai & Raquel Gonzalez. This match developed after Kai & Gonzalez won the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic.
Naomi & Lana also won a title shot several weeks ago but have yet to get a date for that match.
In just two weeks, Dakota Kai and Raquel Gonzalez will be cashing in their championship opportunity for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships.

Ember Moon & Shotzi Blackheart successfully made it to the final match in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic. On this week’s NXT, the duo defeated the tough team of Candice LeRae & Indi Hartwell to advance. They will be taking on Raquel Gonzalez & Dakota Kai this Sunday at TakeOver: Vengeance Day.
Both teams in the semi-final match tonight showed great teamwork. In the final moments of the match, Moon hits her Eclipse on LeRae. Hartwell puts herself on top of LeRae to protect her after the move. Blackheart then hits a Senton on both women and pins Hartwell for the big win.
After the match, the winning team celebrates as their challengers come out to face them. Both teams go face-to-face in front of the Dusty Classic Trophy before General Manager William Regal comes out to make an announcement. Not only do the winners win the trophy and make history as the first winners of a women’s Dusty Cup but they also get a shot at the Women’s Tag Team Titles.
The current Women’s Tag Team Champions are Nia Jax & Shayna Baszler who recently became two-time champions at the Royal Rumble. Currently, the number one contenders of Lana and Naomi have the next shot at the champs. That match has not been given a date yet.
Who do you think will follow Lana and Naomi to get a title shot? Do you think that team will be facing Lana/Naomi or Jax/Baszler? Leave your thoughts below!!
