Bianca Belair vs. Sasha Banks for the WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship, from WWE WrestleMania XXXVII Night One (also marketed as WWE WrestleMania XXXVII Saturday)
The first WrestleMania main event featuring two black women lived up to expectations and then some. Banks is one of the greatest performers WWE has ever employed, not just because of her amazing athleticism but also due to her ability to spell out a face-heel dynamic through text rather than, say, cutting a promo insulting everyone’s mother. Belair wasn’t nearly as smooth but made up for it with her gymnastic ability and surprising strength, and between the two of them, this match played out as heart and inner strength vs. cunning and intellect. On par with Giulia vs. Tam Nakano.
