Since winning the Elimination Chamber match, Bianca Belair has had an eventful few weeks. She was prepared to face the champion, Iyo Sky, at WrestleMania. However, Rhea Ripley demanded a rematch against the Genius of the Sky. After her rematch was scheduled for next week on Raw, with GM Adam Pearce appointing her as the special guest referee, Belair sent a message on social media.

When Pearce made her the referee, Bianca Belair was confused and admitted she didn’t know how to officiate a match. After the show, The EST of WWE took to X, asking referees Daphanie LaShaunn and Jessika Carr for help. She also shared a playful TikTok video, reaching out to the latter.

On last week’s episode of Raw in Brussels, Belgium, a contract signing took place between champion Iyo Sky and challenger Belair. Both stars exchanged words and signed the contract without any physical confrontation. However, just as Pearce thanked them for completing the process smoothly, chaos erupted. Ripley attacked both women and signed the contract, ‘adding’ herself to the match.

Help…

On the latest episode of Raw, Pearce came out with a contract in hand. However, the Damage CTRL member interrupted him, claiming she could handle both Belair and Ripley at WrestleMania. The former soon joined them, agreeing with the Raw GM and insisting she had earned her opportunity while Ripley had not.

As the three argued, The Eradicator came out. Pearce then announced that the 28-year-old star would get her rematch against Sky, with the winner facing Belair at WrestleMania. Only time will tell who will leave the Show of Shows as the Women’s World Champion.

Despite being the current Women’s World Champion, Iyo Sky faces a tough road to WrestleMania. She must defend her title against Rhea Ripley next week on Raw in London. Adding to the drama, Belair will serve as the special guest referee. The Japanese star shared her thoughts about the match in a post on social media.

Sky took to X, admitting she thought her road to WrestleMania was clear. She acknowledged that, despite being the champion, she might not even compete at the Showcase of the Immortals. However, overcoming challenges has always fueled her determination, and she believes she can defeat the former Judgment Day member. The 34-year-old star assured fans that she will win the match and head to WrestleMania as the champion.

I thought I already had the ticket to get there… My road to WrestleMania is very bumpy. But that is why I keep going. Just believe in myself and ALWAYS keep going. I will win this match next week to make the road clearer.

Sky is one of those wrestlers who are always popular with fans, no matter where she goes. The WWE Universe was disappointed when she lost the Royal Rumble and didn’t qualify for the Elimination Chamber match. However, with help from Belair, she defeated Ripley on the March 4th episode of Raw, becoming the only woman to win both current world titles.

The Big Three—Jade Cargill, Bianca Belair, and Naomi—fell apart when the 37-year-old was revealed as the attacker. The Storm brutally retaliated by attacking her during the Elimination Chamber match. However, one person who stayed out of the chaos, despite being a key figure in the feud, was Bianca Belair.

Cargill took to X, expressing her disappointment with Belair’s reaction when she attacked Naomi. The former AEW star admitted she saw the former Women’s Champion as a sister and expected her support. The 32-year-old even blamed Belair for making Naomi obsessed with her. It seems Cargill has accepted the fallout and moved on from the days when they were once called the most dangerous tag team in the women’s division.

You would think you “sisters” would come first. Got this girl begging for YOUR approval. Taking me out for YOU. Yes, focus on self “sis”. Like I said. It is what it is. Sad story bro.

The fallout between these two powerhouses could lead to a major grudge match on a big stage in the future. For now, The EST of WWE is focused on her title match at WrestleMania, while Cargill and Naomi continue to escalate their rivalry.
