Iyo Sky has been the WWE Women’s Champion for around three months now. With Bayley and Dakota Kai in her corner, she has defended her title against the likes of Charlotte Flair and Asuka in her entertaining reign. The 33-year-old now has a legitimate threat, as she will be defending her title against Bianca Belair at Crown Jewel.

Iyo Sky cashed in her Money in the Bank briefcase on the EST of WWE at SummerSlam. Belair has been away from WWE programming as she was assaulted by Damage CTRL on an episode of SmackDown. However, she made her shocking return last week on the blue brand. The 34-year-old saved Charlotte Flair from a brutal attack from Bayley and Iyo Sky.

The EST of WWE took center stage on the latest edition of SmackDown, where she talked about her match with Iyo Sky, making her intentions clear. She announced that at Crown Jewel she would get her rematch against the Genius of the Sky. Fans were truly delighted to see her back, getting another shot at the title.

Bianca Belair is already a two-time Women’s Champion and she will look to add another title reign. However, it might not be easy for her considering the danger looming around her in the form of Damage CTRL. It will be interesting to see whether the EST captures the title or the Iyo Sky retains the championship with the shenanigans of Bayley and Dakota Kai.

Bianca Belair chose Bayley as her favorite person to wrestle with in WWE

Although they are rivals on screen, Bianca Belair stated that Bayley is her favorite person to wrestle with because of her unpredictable personality. She recalled the time when the Role Model jumped out of the ring during their match to interact with fans. Belair narrated that incident in a podcast.

The EST said that Bayley went into the WWE Universe and ripped a fans’ signboard apart, displaying her heel persona. According to Bianca Belair, that was a moment that completely shook her. Belair also accepted that’s the way things go in WWE and you just have to go with the flow.

Talking with Keke Palmer on her podcast, Bianca Belair discussed different things, like what it takes to become a WWE superstar. She was asked about whether anyone ever threw a monkey wrench on her. Replying to that, the former women’s champion took Bayley’s name because of her shenanigans during the matches in the live event.

Bianca Belair and Bayley have fought against each other many times. But their most notable match was the Last Woman Standing match at Crown Jewel last year. Belair defeated the Role Model in an incredible matchup. This year, the EST will face Bayley’s stablemate, Iyo Sky, at Crown Jewel for the WWE Women’s Championship.
