Here are the five biggest news stories from this week's episode of WWE SmackDown (January 15, 2021).
#5: Bayley debuted her 'Ding Dong, Hello' talk show with special guest Bianca Belair on WWE SmackDown
Bayley and Bianca Belair's feud reached its next phase on this episode of WWE SmackDown. Outside of their in-ring rivalry, Bayley introduced Bianca Belair as the first guest on her talk show titled, 'Ding Dong, Hello'.
Bayley is at the top of her game with her heel character, and the silly yet entertaining premise of having to enter through a pretend door seems creative enough for the talk show to potentially earn a recurring spot on WWE SmackDown.
Bayley and Belair threw a few digs against each other. However, Bayley didn't want to face The EST of WWE in an in-ring match once again. Instead, both women will compete in an obstacle course challenge next week to determine which woman is more athletic.
Bayley may not have accepted the challenge without a few tricks up her sleeve. This is because Bianca Belair's entire identity has been built upon her athletic background, so Bayley could possibly throw in a few shenanigans during their competition next week.
