Does The EST of WWE stand a chance against The Boss?
Considering Belair’s rapid growth trajectory in WWE, it’s possible that she will defeat Banks at WrestleMania. Additionally, there are quite a few Superstars on the roster who want to bury Sasha Banks such as Bayley and Carmella.
Belair can pair up with either of them to take down Banks.
