Do WWE stars Bayley and Bianca Belair have real-life heat? What we know following tense backstage moment
Bayley and Bianca Belair are two of the biggest stars in the WWE women's division. However, both superstars seem to be at loggerheads in recent times due to their tumultuous relationship. A backstage segment on the latest episode of SmackDown has once again showcased their rift, leaving many fans speculating whether the two have real-life heat.
However, Bayley and Bianca Belair do not have any real-life animosity, and their on-screen tension is purely a product of WWE's expert storytelling. For those unaware, The EST has had a long-standing rivalry with the former WWE Women's Champion while the latter was still part of Damage CTRL. They squandered several monumental opportunities for her.
This week on SmackDown, The EST and Jade Cargill were seen sharing a lighthearted moment with Naomi backstage, but the atmosphere changed dramatically upon Bayley's arrival. Belair's demeanor changed instantly, with her expression going cold. She stopped her revelry with Jade Cargill and Naomi at once and simply walked away, turning her back on The Role Model, implying that she had issues with the latter.
Therefore, it seems the embers of resentment are still smoldering within Bianca, as she still possibly holds a grudge against Bayley for her past actions. Their prolonged rivalry, marked by bitter clashes, has sabotaged several opportunities for her. Hence, WWE has been capitalizing on their history to this day, showcasing their bitter on-screen relationship.
The Role Model's past transgressions, amplified by her role in Damage CTRL, continue to haunt Belair to this day. Regardless of their on-screen animosity, the two superstars have a good relationship in real life.
Did Bayley ever apologize to Bianca Belair for her actions?
Bayley and Bianca Belair share a storied history with each other, which was marked by bitter clashes and unrelenting hostility between the duo. However, a lot of things have changed since The Role Model left Damage CTRL, but their tumultuous relationship has remained the same.
The former WWE Women's Champion did apologize to Belair for her past actions. During an appearance on WWE's The Bump earlier this year in May, Bayley shed light on her bitter history with the 35-year-old star. Speaking about it, she remarked that she understood why The EST still holds grudges against her.
The Role Model apologized to Bianca Belair, stating that the latter had to pay the price of her misdeeds. However, Bayley stated that she had no remorse for her actions, as what she had done back then was for the greater good of Damage CTRL. Regardless, the former WWE Women's Champion sought forgiveness from Belair.
With WWE still exploiting their troubled history, and showcasing their on-screen animosity, it will be interesting to see where this leads to.
