During the same interview, Bianca Belair also opened up about Charlotte Flair's recent WWE return.
After being away for months, The Queen finally made her comeback on the final episode of WWE SmackDown in 2022. She immediately defeated Ronda Rousey to win the SmackDown Women's Championship.
Belair stated that she was a bit surprised by Flair's return and her immediate win. The RAW Women's Champion added was also a bit disappointed, considering she wouldn't be able to face The Queen at The Grandest Stage of Them All.
"I was surprised and then she won the title and I was like, 'No, because I wanted to face you at WrestleMania and now I don't know if that's possible'. I was happy for her, add another title on her belt. She's the most decorated woman in WWE but selfishly, you know, I wanted to go against Charlotte at WrestleMania. That's a dream match of mine."
