Sasha Banks was originally scheduled to compete for the SmackDown Women's Championship at SummerSlam last month. But she was pulled from the show at the very last moment due to "unforeseen circumstances", so Becky Lynch returned in her place. The Man defeated Bianca Belair to win the title, and Banks has remained absence ever since.
Lynch and Belair have been feuding over the last month on SmackDown, and the two will now face each other at WWE Extreme Rules 2021 with the title on the line.
Truth be told, neither of the two stars could afford to take a clean loss at the show next Sunday. Fans might just see a disqualification finish to the match, with Banks returning and attacking both women. This development could lead to a triple threat match for the SmackDown Women's Championship, possibly at WWE's mega show in Saudi Arabia next month, Crown Jewel 2021.
