The WWE is currently gearing up for its upcoming PLE event- Crown Jewel. The fifth edition of the premium live event is specific to Saudi Arabia. This PLE came to fruition as a part of an agreement between the county and the promotion. The upcoming edition is scheduled for November 4. As per the official poster released by the Stamford-based company, a female superstar is making her comeback.
The pro wrestler had been missing from the programs for two months now. Her last match was a tag team out, where she partnered with Charlotte Flair in a winning cause. Did you guess the name already?

We are talking about Bianca Belair. The former WWE Women’s Champion had teamed up with Flair to take on Bayley and Iyo Sky of the Damage CTRL on the August 18 episode of SmackDown. Belair and Flair had won the bout after jostling for 13 minutes.
Interestingly, the two superstars share a love-hate relationship and have been both partners and opponents in a space of a fortnight. Her return will keep the women’s division on alert, as The EST of WWE is one of the strongest in-ring competitors, has a past in the bodybuilding industry, which is also a common thread tying the two.

WWE confirmed Bianca Belair’s return with the official poster of Crown Jewel. She featured along with other superstars. Now, this begs the question, who will Belair’s opponent be? So far, the WWE has announced a few matches, none of which involves her.
This means the upcoming SmackDown episode on October 20 is likely to have a big announcement that’ll reveal more about Belair’s journey. Meanwhile, here’s how things could turn up.
Bianca Belair likely to cost Charlotte Flair her title match on SmackDown
As per reports, Belair is set to come back on the aforementioned episode of the blue brand. On the other hand, the 14-time world champion is also set to have a title match against WWE Women’s Champion Sky. If Flair wins it, she’ll inch a step closer to her father, Ric Flair, and John Cena’s record-setting 16 world titles.
But, it is likely that Belair is going to cost Flair the match and her chance to add another title to her name. She could also attack Iyo Sky, who had cashed in her Money in the Bank contract at SummerSlam to defeat Belair and win the title she currently possesses.

This sets it up for a Triple Threat match at Crown Jewel- between Flair, Belair, and Sky. The WWE has already announced a fatal 5-way match involving Rhea Ripley. While another multi-women match seems unlikely, it is also one that makes the most sense as neither Flair nor Sky will let go of a retaliation.
