35-year-old WWE star makes title proclamation ahead of RAW
The August 19 episode of WWE RAW will air live from Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Florida. Among many ongoing storylines involving current titleholders, there appears to be one rematch that has been brewing since June.
Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair, much to the pleasant surprise of a hot Glasgow crowd, dropped their Women's Tag Team Championship to Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn. The duo appears to be on the hunt for the belts again. Clash at the Castle featured a Triple Threat Tag Team contest in which The Storm and The EST were not pinned. Belair recently took to social media and noted that she is confident about regaining the Women's Tag Team Championship:
"We gonna get those titles back! Who gonna stop us?! EST X STORM," Bianca Belair wrote.
Bash in Berlin will take place on August 31 and as of this writing, only three contests have been added to the card. However, CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre II is heavily rumored, with the Chicago native booked for tonight's episode to address The Scottish Warrior.
Mark Henry believes Bianca Belair's move to the tag team division is a smart move by WWE
Bianca Belair skyrocketed to fame in WWE within a short period of time. She has already added 'Royal Rumble winner' and 'longest reigning Women's Champion of the modern era' to her list of accomplishments.
This is huge for someone who only made her main roster debut four years ago at WrestleMania 36. Belair was always contending for the top prize of the company until recently when she joined Jade Cargill in the women's tag team division.
Speaking about The EST, Mark Henry said that the new power team has worked favorably for both women, but she is no longer a singles star. Looking at it positively, Henry added that this has allowed other women to receive the spotlight:
"Bianca needed a tag situation and Jade needed to learn how to use the system to help her, and she's learning by osmosis a lot of times because she's watching Bianca, and Bianca is having second life and not having to be in a program with nobody major, so other girls are getting over. The girls, they're getting over because they're allowed to get over. Because if Bianca was a singles competitor, you would have to put the title on her or put her in the running for the title."
WWE has not hinted at a title match yet, but the team of Jade Cargill, Bianca Belair, and Naomi will take on Women's Tag Team Champions Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn, and Blair Devenport on WWE SmackDown this Friday.
