Becky Lynch Vs. Bianca Belair Vs. Sasha Banks Announced For WWE Crown Jewel
For the SmackDown Women's title
The SmackDown Women's title will be on the line at Crown Jewel later this month, in a triple threat match.
WWE announced Friday that Becky Lynch will defend the title against Bianca Belair and Sasha Banks in Riyadh on October 21.
Lynch won the title from Belair at SummerSlam in August, after a match lasting only 26 seconds. Banks was originally supposed to challenge Belair for the title, but wasn't cleared to compete. Lynch's appearance at SummerSlam marked her first match in over 16 months.
Banks returned at Extreme Rules this past Sunday, attacking Belair and Lynch during their Women's title match.
Banks defeated Belair in singles action on SmackDown Friday night. The show was also the first night of WWE's Draft, during which Belair was selected by Monday Night Raw with the fourth overall pick. Raw Women's champion Charlotte Flair was selected by SmackDown third overall.
The current card for WWE Crown Jewel, taking place Thursday, October 21 at Mohammed Abdu Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, is as follows:
* WWE Universal: Roman Reigns (c) vs. Brock Lesnar
* SmackDown Women's: Becky Lynch (c) vs. Bianca Belair vs. Sasha Banks
