BIANCA BELAIR’S CAREER

Bianca believes so much in herself that you proclaim herself the strongest, fastest, toughest, all-around best super-star and also, the EST of WWE. Definitely, she has been an exceptional athlete and has continually maintained her exceptionality throughout and to her wrestling career.

Bianca Belair is very competitive, rugged, and can be merciless in the ring, a risk-taker. She uses her long hair braid as a weapon against her opponents.
Within a short period, Bianca made significant progress in her career; she emerged at WrestleMania 36 to lend a helping hand to The Street Profits. After which she hit the scene on the main roster, first on Raw with the proclamation, “I go here now.” Then she moved to the blue brand where she has become a standout competitor against the likes of Bayley and Carmella.

BIANCA BELAIR’S WIN AT THE WRESTLEMANIA 38

After her loss to Lynch in the SmackDown Women’s Champion in August, both of them moved to Raw as a result of the WWE Draft.
Lynch had earlier challenged Belair to an impromptu title match for the SmackDown Women’s Championship. This was after she (Lynch) made her surprise return from hiatus. Lynch nailed Belair with a cheap shot and pinned her to win the title in about 20 seconds; this obviously is cheating. She however continually cheated to retain her title for a few other months until she succeeded in kicking Belair out of the title picture. Belair finally got a chance of revenge when after the Elimination Chamber in February. She was able to dodge Lynch’s attempt at cutting off her signature long braid and gave her (Lynch) a new haircut instead.
Another sweet revenge is her win at WrestleMania 38 against Becky Lynch. She finally defeated Lynch and bagged the title of Raw Women’s Championship. Belair is now the new Raw Women’s Champion.
