The EST of WWE, Bianca Belair, made a thunderous return on the most recent edition of SmackDown. After an enthralling main event, Damage CTRL orchestrated a 2-on-1 beatdown on Charlotte Flair. Subsequently, the former Women’s Champion came out to a loud pop and saved Flair from the faction.

As many might know, Bianca Belair sustained an ‘injury’ a couple of months ago due to a vicious attack by Bayley and Iyo Sky. Therefore, seeing her seemingly kickstart a rivalry with Damage CTRL last night wasn’t surprising. Moreover, Belair will perhaps set her eyes on the Women’s Championship. After losing at SummerSlam, the 34-year-old hasn’t cashed in her rematch against Sky.

At the moment, Bianca Belair is advertised for the upcoming PLE, Crown Jewel. However, the current Women’s Champion, Iyo Sky, is scheduled for a title defense on the same day at a house show. Therefore, seeing who the EST will square off with at the Saudi show will be interesting.

Currently, rumors suggest that a #1 contender’s match with Charlotte Flair may be on the cards. Needless to say, Bianca Belair’s presence on screen helps boost the women’s division on SmackDown. As a result, the WWE Universe is happy to see her back in the mix on the Blue brand.

Bianca Belair names Bayley as her favorite opponent in the WWE

Without a doubt, Bayley is one of the most influential figures in Women’s wrestling. Her rivalry with Mercedes Mone, better known as Sasha Banks, in 2015 spearheaded the revolution in professional wrestling. Recently, Bianca Belair spoke about her feud with Bayley last year.

In an interview on “Baby, This Is Keke Palmer,” the EST revealed that Bayley was her favorite opponent of her career thus far. According to her, the Role Model always looks to add storyline elements to the mix. Moreover, Belair mentioned how Bayley “throws monkey wrenches” to add chaos to the rivalry.

She'll jump out [of] the ring and grab the microphone and start going off on everybody in the crowd. She'll grab a sign and rip it and throw it in the ring. You're like, 'Wait, what is going on?' You kind of just have to go with it.
Bianca Belair said about Bayley in an interview with Keke Palmer.

The pair fought last year in back-to-back PLE matches, with Bianca Belair emerging victorious in both. They could compete again as Belair returned from injury.
