"That just kind of like messed with me a little" - Bianca Belair opens up about a low point in her WWE career
WWE RAW Women's Champion Bianca Belair recently opened up regarding her huge loss to Becky Lynch at SummerSlam 2021.
Belair was the SmackDown Women's Champion, heading into the biggest event of the summer. However, a surprise return from Becky Lynch upstaged the EST of WWE. In 26 seconds, Lynch demolished the dominant Belair to become the new SmackDown Women's Champ.
On the Out of Character podcast this week, Belair indicated that the quick loss at SummerSlam had her doubting herself. She mentioned that it was a massive dip from winning The Royal Rumble and main eventing WrestleMania 37.
The EST of WWE was glad that things came full circle, and she was ultimately able to redeem herself.
"I'm like okay, they have this faith in me and let's run with it, let's roll with it. Let me prove, let me show that this was the right decision to make. Then SummerSlam happened. That just kind of like messed with me a little. like was I doing something wrong? Like I thought I was doing everything right. Then, we had a rebound from that," said Belair. [From 8:33 - 8:54]
