Bianca Belair says she was emotional after her match against Bayley at WWE Crown Jewel
RAW Women's Champion Bianca Belair recently disclosed that she broke down following her match against Bayley at WWE Crown Jewel.
The two stars collided in a Last Woman Standing match at the premium live event for the coveted RAW Women's Championship. The bout involved tables, chairs, a golf cart, and a ladder. The EST of WWE trapped The Role Model under the bottom turnbuckle while on a ladder to win the match and retain the title.
During a recent interview with Sam Roberts on the Notsam Wrestling podcast, Bianca Belair stated that she was emotional after the match.
"A lot of times, I feel like I’m on autopilot where I’m just pushing through and trying to get to what’s next and you really have to stop and reflect on what’s happening and how big moments are and that actually happened to me after the match in Saudi Arabia."
The EST added that she got to soak in the moment following her victory.
"I got backstage and just, I broke down and a lot of people were coming up to me like, ‘Oh my God, are you okay?’ And I’m like, ‘No, they’re happy tears, it’s good tears’ because everything happens so fast and you really have to soak in the moments and realize how big the moments are," said Belair.
