“Was a year of me being an a**hole”; Former Women’s Champion recalls her EPIC rivalry with Bianca Belair terming it’s culmination as ‘Beautiful’

Bianca Belair

Bianca Belair has been the Raw Women’s Champion since Wrestlemania this year and after nearly 300 days without getting pinned or submitted in a match, she finally met a devastating ending last week at Clash at the Castle when Bayley, IYO SKY and Dakota Kai ganged up to hand her the pinfall loss.

One of the most prominent features about her title reign has been the consistently of quality matches being put on with several opponents. But when you look around and think who’s been the most bitter enemy, the arrows point towards none other than the longest reigning Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch.

They first came face to face at Summerslam 2021 when Becky made her long-awaited return from the maternity hiatus and immediately squashed Bianca Belair in barely 26 seconds following a Rock Bottom looking kinda move, the Manhandle Slam.

Then began a feud which truly lived up to its expectations and provided a viable storytelling to the fans which are the most common loop in majority of the modern day storylines. What defines a brilliant rivalry is not now exceptionally you can slam each other but how good you can slam the inner soul of your opponent.

Becky last fought at this year’s Summerslam against Belair which proved to be utterly disastrous for her as she suffered an unfortunately dislocation in the process. The two women once again showed their awe-inspiring movesets and tandem offenses one followed by another. However, it was once again The EST of WWE who came up right on the top and retained her gold.

Becky Lynch recently shared her thoughts on this memorable rivalry with Bianca Belair during Out of Character podcast with Ryan Satin. Lynch said that their feud had a perfect ending, it began with a handshake at Summerslam last year and it ended the same way this year. She also recalled herself being an A**hole in the meantime.

“I’m really happy with what we did because I do think that it was a beautiful end to the story. It began with a handshake at SummerSlam, it ended with a handshake at SummerSlam. It was a year of me being an a**hole and coming back around to being The Man. I feel like it was, we don’t often do long-term storytelling like that, and more often when we do it is by accident.”
