Belair ultimately hit Banks with the 450 Splash for a near fall. Bianca went more aggressive in the final seconds, lashing Banks with her ponytail before giving her the Kiss of Death to win the match.
Bianca Belair spoke to the fightful during a community event and revealed that she didn’t learn about her headlining at WrestleMania 37 until the day before the event.

According to Belair, the major event for day one was still up in the air, and a lot of fans were using hashtags on Twitter to show their support for us in headlining the event.
Bianca said that she and Sasha both found out the day before WrestleMania that they were going to headline the event.They simply had to go out there and carry out their plan, she claimed, adding that she didn’t even have time to think about it or feel anxious.
“I feel like we found out at the same time as everyone else on Twitter. It was a lot of back and forth between who was going to main event and who wasn’t. A lot of our fans on Twitter were doing hashtags and really pushing for it. We found out, I believe, the day before WrestleMania that we were going to be the main event. Some people think maybe that’s scary, but it didn’t give me time to think or get too nervous. We just had to go out there and do what we do and that’s what we did.”
Bianca Belair is the current RAW Women’s Champion. She retained her title by defeating Carmella at the Money in the Bank Live event.
