For the second straight WrestleMania, Bianca Belair stood tall as the new champion after defeating Becky Lynch for the Raw Women's Title.Becky Lynch.
The two heated rivals continued to trade blows until Lynch used Belair’s braid to pull her into the ring post, lifting her up for a Manhandle Slam on the steel steps and a near count out. Belair kept her foot on the gas, planting Lynch with a Glam Slam before dropping her onto the turnbuckle and landing a 450 Splash from the second rope for a shocking nearfall. Sporting a brand-new hairdo thanks to the actions of Bianca Belair, a furious Becky Lynch slapped The EST of WWE after the bell rang before delivering a huge Manhandle Slam looking to recreate her 26-second win from Summerslam, but only earned a two-count.
WWE Superstar Rhea Ripley was intrigued to witness how the matchup between RAW Women's Champion Becky Lynch and Bianca Belair unfolded at WrestleMania.
It'll be interesting to see if Rhea can replicate the feat and win tag team gold in her match on Sunday at Night 2 of WrestleMania. Ripley pointed out that she felt Bianca Belair genuinely deserved to win because of the hard work she had put in: Bianca turned the tables and managed to cut off some of her locks heading into 'Mania.
Once again, Bianca Belair is leaving WrestleMania as a champion. Here are the challengers we want her to face and the ones we don't.
And while there is no denying that story Becky & Bianca have told us has been fun to watch, the outcome has been rather predictable. You could argue that the end could be seen once Belair lost to Becky back at Summerslam that there was no way WWE could spend all the time & effort building up The EST and building up goodwill with her fans to burn it all down without an equal payoff. Unfortunately, she's been presented in a way that she can't be considered as a serious threat to dethrone Bianca Belair. Morgan's come up on the losing end of the few encounters they have had, and while we all agree that her time is yet to come, that time isn't now. As we know, she went on to face Sasha Banks. This is a match that deserves to be revisited, only this time, the shoes would be on opposite feet: Asuka challenging Bianca Belair for the Raw Women's Title. Bianca has already had her moments with the other members of The Four Horsewomen, Charlotte would be the last step to reaching the top of the Women's division. From a storyline perspective, the angle writes itself: Charlotte claims that Bianca can't claim to be The EST of anything without beating the best. That may be the case, but it shouldn't be with Bianca Belair. Coming off her Smackdown Title win at WrestleMania 37, Bayley was the EST's first challenger having faced her at both WrestleMania Backlash and Hell In A Cell in a Hell In A Cell match. She's been a Tag Team Champion as well, but it seems like WWE is stalling in bringing her to the USA or Fox networks. Rematches have been a main course menu item for the last few years, but few matches have been done to death as much as Bianca Belair vs. Their career successes have paralleled each other, so the time is right for them to have a proper program on the main roster and tear the house down. The easy choice here for one of the first challengers is Rhea Ripley. Bianca and Rhea have crossed paths several times in the past, both on NXT and Raw, each of their encounters being very closely contested. As the viewer, some women would be preferred over others, but the WWE may have plans set in stone that we might not always agree with.

WWE superstar Bianca Belair is known for her extraordinary athleticism (A former NCAA Division 1 Track Star), bold ring attire, and unapologetically bringing the Black experience to the squared circle for the world to see. Backed by the band, Belair went on to defeat her heated rival, Becky Lynch for the WWE Raw Women’s Championship, in what many say was the match that stole the show. The eyes of men, women, and children worldwide are always locked into World Wrestling Entertainment’s biggest event of the year, Wrestlemania, and last night was no exception.
A filler-packed WrestleMania Saturday was saved by Cody Rhodes vs. Seth Rollins, Bianca Belair vs. Becky Lynch, and Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Kevin Owens.
But Stone Cold's career ended prematurely nineteen years ago, and though everyone has come to accept that in the years since, it was still a loss, and being able to get that one more match all these years later was a gift, not only to fans, but I'd wager to both Kevin Owens and Steve Austin as well. Even when everyone expected Stone Cold to show up, call Kevin Owens a jackass, give him the Stone Cold Stunner, and drink some beers, I was okay with that being the main event of WrestleMania Night 1. But in a rare accomplishment for WWE, they stuck with the long term storytelling and had Belair redeem herself and overcome Lynch at WrestleMania, and when all was said and done, both women are in a better place now than they were at SummerSlam. Furthermore, unlike Ronda Rousey, who rumors say threw a tantrum when she learned she wouldn't be in the main event, Lynch and Belair instead set out to prove why they should have been the main event by putting on a match that outshone every one on the card. Luckily, the return of Stone Cold Steve Austin for a solid main event match against Kevin Owens, the debut of Cody Rhodes with everything about his AEW presentation kept except the rejection and booing by the crowd, followed by a very good match between Rhodes and Seth Rollins, and a vindicating championship win by Bianca Belair over Becky Lynch in what would be the clear winner for match of the night if not for the inherently unbeatable return of Stone Cold. Last year at SummerSlam, WWE killed the momentum of Bianca Belair by having Becky Lynch return and beat her in a squash to win the championship, seemingly setting back all the progress Belair had made in her career by winning the belt in the first place. But all of that can be forgiven because WWE did a few things right, because those things they did right were the most important thing to get right, and because, let's face it, at this point, everybody's expectations were already so low that even the smallest triumph is an incredibly welcome surprise.
Bianca Belair had an amazing moment with Vince McMahon once. It became viral soon after Bianca's historic match at WrestleMania 38.
