"Everything happened very quickly" - Bianca Belair reflects on losing to Becky Lynch in 26 seconds at WWE SummerSlam
Bianca Belair has commented on her disappointing loss to Becky Lynch at WWE SummerSlam last year.
The EST of WWE was originally supposed to defend the SmackDown Women's Championship against Sasha Banks at the pay-per-view, but The Boss was replaced by the returning Becky Lynch. The Man defeated Belair in 26 seconds to capture the title.
In a recent interview with SunSport, Bianca Belair looked back on the bout, stating that it was last minute and everything happened very fast.
"Everything happened very quickly," said Belair. "Very, very, very last minute. To the point where all you can do is roll with the punches and go with it. For me it was just about checking my perspective. I looked at it as an opportunity to showcase who Bianca Belair is without a title and show that I’m still the EST of WWE without the title and try to figure out a way to come out on top," said Belair.
