Bianca Belair has commented on her loss at SummerSlam. The former SmackDown Women’s Champion lost her title in a very quick match to Becky Lynch, who made a surprise return to WWE at the pay per view in Las Vegas.
Speaking to Denise Salcedo of Indistinct Culture, The EST had the following to say about the events of SummerSlam:
“Right now, I’m just trying to collect my thoughts and get my mind together. Everything happened quickly and so fast. I was ready to fight Sasha Banks, and Becky came out, which was an amazing moment and I’m happy to be part of that moment, but I lost my title and right now, I’m just emotional and trying to wrap my mind around it. I have to be honest, I feel defeated right now and okay with being vulnerable and being honest about that. I’m ready to get my title back.”
Bianca then went on to comment about how she felt following The Man’s entrance music playing out through the Allegiant Stadium:
“It was bittersweet. Becky Lynch, what she’s accomplished inside and outside the ring, she’s The Man and a legend in the making. It was bittersweet to know she was coming out and to hear that pop from the crowd and hear the vibration from the WWE Universe, it’s nothing like you’ve ever felt before, so to be in the ring and feel all of that was amazing, but at the same time, I was the SmackDown Women’s Champion and I knew she was coming for my title. It was bittersweet and I can’t help but to be a little sad about the situation and ready to get back in there and get my rematch because I deserve a rematch.”
Originally, Belair was meant to defend her SmackDown Women’s Championship against Sasha Banks. Instead, Banks was announced as not cleared to compete moments before the match was due to take place. The EST of WWE addressed these comments in the interview with Denise Salcedo:
“Tonight, it couldn’t happen with Sasha Banks, but coming soon it will be a point in time where it will be Sasha Banks and I in the ring again. We’re gonna definitely finish what we started off. It’s been a tough couple weeks with Sasha Banks and I was ready to put an end to her tonight. Whenever that time happens, I’m gonna be ready to put an end to her again and then move over onto Becky.”
