Bianca Belair's bookings questioned by analyst ahead of WWE Survivor Series: WarGames
Bianca Belair was the number one draft pick earlier this year and has since been consistently working in the women's tag team division. Despite her star power, Belair's bookings appear to have been compromised recently, felt a wrestling analyst.
The Women's Tag Team Champions (Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill) have teased a program with Liv Morgan on WWE RAW. Furthermore, they are now seemingly set to work with IYO SKY of Damage CTRL at Survivor Series: WarGames. The faction was created after the Women's Tag Team Championship not long ago, so their union came out of left field. They were seen together alongside babyface Naomi on the red brand last week, standing tall over the heels - Nia Jax, Tiffany Stratton, Liv Morgan, and Raquel Rodriguez. Former WWE analyst Matt Camp blasted the company's booking.
He pointed to The EST, who especially has always been seen as someone who doesn't trust Damage CTRL's former leader Bayley, despite the latter's babyface turn earlier this year. But it seems Belair has no problems with SKY, who, ironically, was the one who turned on The Role Model. Furthermore, Belair herself has faced The Genius of the Sky many times for the Women's Title in the last two years.
Speaking on his YouTube channel The Wrestling Matt, Camp questioned why Bianca Belair and IYO SKY have decided to work together without any "trepidation."
"When Bayley turned babyface, any interaction her and Bianca had, Bianca was like, 'Nope,' and Bayley would try and make good. She knows the error of her ways. I know Damage CTRL has turned babyface now. But Bayley was babyface. [Bianca Belair] is cool just standing next to IYO?" [From 7:14 onwards]

The analyst further noted that at the very least WWE should add some stakes to the upcoming WarGames match because of how everything had just been thrown together. It bears watching if any explanation will be forthcoming on the road to Survivor Series.
Matt Camp blasts WWE for Bianca Belair, Jade Cargill, and IYO SKY's booking
Matt Camp feels WWE does not have a solid story with the women, so they simply "slapped together" a WarGames match with no stakes.
He brought up Damage CTRL's pursuit of the Women's Tag Team Championship recently and felt Bianca Belair, Jade Cargill, and IYO SKY's characters had been compromised with this decision. He then pointed to Nia Jax and Liv Morgan, who just had a high-profile match at Crown Jewel for the titular belt. Camp also added that Jax's issues with Tiffany Stratton had not been resolved either.
"If you're going to tell me that IYO, Bianca, Jade and Naomi are going to find common ground by Survivor Series, all right, fine. I can live with that. But how come Sami, Jey, Roman, Jimmy and Seth had trepidation? Yet, Jade and Bianca are like, 'Cool. Damage CTRL. IYO SKY. No problem.' Not a hint of animosity or tension. Just, you're all women babyfaces. Dance and be happy. Stand tall to end the show. I don't care about that match," he said. [From 3:48 onwards]
WWE is yet to make the match official for Survivor Series: WarGames, but the formation looks pretty clear as of this writing. It remains to be seen whether something will be at stake at the Thanksgiving event.
