WWE took full advantage of their first show in front of fans for over a year by putting Sasha Banks' defense of the SmackDown Women's Title against Bianca Belair on last. 

Having made her main roster debut a year earlier on the post-WrestleMania 36 episode of Raw and working strictly during the pandemic, the ultra-athletic Bianca had been a highlight of WWE's televised output and was a deserved and welcomed winner of the 2021 women's Royal Rumble match. 

Recent history has shown us that winning it by no means guarantees you're going to triumph at the Showcase of the Immortals, and there was every possibility that The Boss was going to walk out of Raymond James Stadium still champ. 

Thankfully, Belair got the historic win following a terrific bout that told a fantastic story and showed the best of both. Banks deserves much credit for clearly going above and beyond to make EST look as good as possible en route to her victory. 

It's early days yet, of course, but the feeling at the end of WrestleMania 37 Night One was that Bianca Belair was now established at the top of the women's division, paving the way for fresh matches and storylines. 

At 32 years-old and still being relatively new as a television character, the sky is the limit for her and, barring something like injuries, she should be a fixture for years to come.
