The 2022 WWE Extreme Rules event saw RAW Women’s Champion Bianca Belair retain her title over Bayley in a Ladder Match. This was the first Ladder Match ever for Belair.
Belair spoke with Fightful Select for a future interview and revealed that she was “freaking out” before the Ladder Match because she couldn’t find her title belt. While Belair was upset over the missing title, someone informed her that it was already hanging high above the ring for the match with Bayley.
Belair spoke highly of Bayley and being able to make history with her.
Belair has worked two WarGames matches in her career. She teamed Shayna Baszler, Alba Fyre and current WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion IYO SKY for loss to Rhea Ripley, Tegan Nox, Candice LeRae and current WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion Dakota Kai at the WWE NXT TakeOver: WarGames event in 2019, then worked the WWE Survivor Series: WarGames event this past November, teaming with Asuka, Alexa Bliss, Mia Yim and Becky Lynch for a win over Bayley, Kai, SKY, Ripley and Nikki Cross.
Belair talked about the differences in working the NXT and main roster War Games matches, and said that being on the babyface or heel side makes a huge difference for her.
Belair revealed that the “Ms. WrestleMania” moniker was given to her by someone backstage, and in her mind that was motivation to keep improving on her performances from year-to-year.
Belair will defend her title at WrestleMania 39 in early April, against the winner of the Women’s Elimination Chamber match on February 18.
