Bianca Belair’s WrestleMania gear was inspired by a fan post on twitter back in 2020. However, winning both the Raw and SmackDown Women’s Championships at WrestleMania wasn’t without cost. Becky Lynch kicked Belair in the face when she missed a senton in the corner during their match. Bianca finished the match in the manner of a true champion despite the painful contact. She appeared for an WrestleMania 38 Exclusive backstage interview after winning the Women’s title. She explained her joy after winning the match and also acknowledged her injury.
Becky Lynch wanted to perform the Molly Go Round, a technique she had recently added to her arsenal. Becky spun in the air after making a mistake with her measurements, but instead of landing on either side of Bianca’s head and body, she smacked her in the eye with her foot, injuring her. But the match was well received by the crowd at the packed stadium. Bianca Belair became the first African-American woman to win both the Raw and Smackdown Women’s Championship in WWE.
