Bianca Belair vs. Carmella rematch set for July 23 SmackDown

SmackDown Women’s Champion Bianca Belair received an absolute electric reception when crowds returned on last night’s SmackDown. She successfully defended her title against a determined Carmella but the Most Beautiful Woman in all of WWE wasn’t happy with this last-minute booking.

Because Carmella wasn’t “prepared” for her match, she is getting another one. The two will clash again next Friday on the July 23 episode of SmackDown.

Belair appeared on Talking Smack after their match and provided a response to Carmella who says she wasn’t ready because she only had six days to prepare. The champ says people like Carmella tend to go on Twitter and act like they aren’t bothered when they are. So if Carmella wants a rematch then she can have that because Belair is a fighting champion.

Toni Storm will also be debuting on SmackDown next week. A match or opponent has not been announced at the time of this writing.

Liv Morgan added to MITB; Carmella now facing Belair for the SmackDown Women’s Title on July 16

Bayley’s injury that was reported earlier on Friday shook the SmackDown women’s division and put a wrench into the Money in the Bank plans. Bayley was set to face Bianca Belair for the SmackDown Women’s Champion at the July 18 event but due to an ACL injury during training, she is now out of action for at least nine months.

WWE Authority Sonya Deville had to find a suitable replacement for Bayley now that she is unable to compete. Prior to Deville making her announcement, Bayley had some words to give to the WWE audience.

Now, what happens with the SmackDown Women’s Title match? It is no longer on the Money in the Bank card but will be on the July 16 episode of SmackDown, the first show back with a live crowd. Belair will be facing and defending her title against a former SmackDown Women’s Champion and two-time Money in the Bank winner – Carmella.

The most beautiful woman in all of WWE will have the chance to become a two-time SmackDown Women’s Champion which means she will no longer be in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match. Before Deville could announce that last part, an irate Liv Morgan made her way to the ring. She was tired of seeing Carmella getting handing opportunities while she herself has earned them.

Deville then snapped back at her letting her know she should have let her finish. Because Carmella has been pulled from the MITB match, Morgan is now in. As Morgan leaves with a smile on her face, she says she hopes Carmella defeats Belair so that she can win the briefcase and cash in on her.

This of course caught the eye of Bianca Belair. She says that she will gladly take Carmella as her challenger. She sends a message to Bayley saying she looks forward to finishing their feud when she comes back.

The Money in the Bank Ladder Match participants is now: Alexa Bliss, Asuka, Naomi, Nikki Cross, Zelina Vega, Liv Morgan, and two more women to be announced.

Bayley out for approximately nine months with injury, Belair to receive new challenger for Money in the Bank

WWE has officially announced that Bayley has sustained an injury while training for her upcoming Money in the Bank match. She was scheduled to take part in an “I Quit” Match against SmackDown Women’s Bianca Belair. A replacement for Bayley in the match against Belair will be announced tonight on SmackDown. The nature of the … Read more

Zelina Vega says she has “unfinished business” with Bianca Belair

Zelina Vega shocked the WWE audience when she returned to SmackDown this past Friday. Vega was released from the company in November and reports in May started to swirl noting that she would be making her return. Up until Friday that was pure speculation.

WWE Authority Sonya Deville announced Vega’s returning by adding her into the upcoming Money in the Bank Ladder Match. Vega was on this weekend’s Talking Smack to discuss her return and involvement in the match and which champion she may target if she wins the briefcase. She was also in action on Friday in a losing effort against Liv Morgan who is trying to prove she deserves her own spot in the MITB match.

“I think I have some unfinished business with Bianca [Belair]. If she’s even going to remain champion, although, I’m not really fond of Bayley either. Whoever it’s going to be, that’s who I have my eyes on right now.”

In 2020, Vega and Belair had a rivalry in which Belair came out with victories on numerous occasions. The story writes itself regardless if Vega wins the briefcase or not with her being a potential future opponent for the SmackDown Women’s Champion. Vega also included NXT in the discussion of possible champions to cash in on if she were to win the contract.

She joins Alexa Bliss, Asuka, Naomi, Nikki Cross, and Carmella so far for this upcoming match. Two more names from SmackDown are still to be announced. Belair is set to defend her title against Bayley at Money in the Bank in an “I Quit Match.”

With the names so far announced for the MITB match, do you think Zelina has good odds to win? Join the discussion below.

Bianca Belair vs. Bayley in an “I Quit” match set at Money in the Bank for the SmackDown Women’s Title

The stakes continue to pile high surrounding the SmackDown Women’s Championship!

On this week’s SmackDown, Bianca Belair has challenged Bayley with her SmackDown Women’s Title on the line once again to a match at the upcoming Money in the Bank event. However, since Belair defeated Bayley inside Hell in a Cell it can’t be just any ordinary match. The two will battle in an “I Quit” match.

Bayley was able to pin Belair in a Mixed Tag Team Match last week which has placed that chip firmly right back on her shoulder. The Role Model feels that the EST is not living up to the expectations of the WWE Universe and her prior win was just a fluke. Belair feels that Bayley just won’t leave her alone and move on after defeating her over and over again.

After Belair said she wanted this type of match, Bayley started laughing. Once she realized she was serious she was all for it. Bayley says she has never quit anything in her whole life. Adding to the conversation she says that if she utters “I Quit” then she might as well not only quit SmackDown, she should quit the WWE and while she’s at it, wrestling altogether. She says that if Belair says she quits though, Bayley would not be surprised in the least.

What do you think of this stipulation? Will these be the nice cherry on top of this rivalry to end it? Leave your thoughts below.
