Bianca Belair and Naomi are ready to get their hands on ‘Dirty’ Dominik Mysterio after losing the Women’s Tag Team Championships on the February 24, edition of WWE Raw. In the show’s main event, Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez kicked-off their record-breaking third reign with the titles by defeating Naomi and Belair, thanks in part to Dominik’s interference.

Now, Belair and Naomi have payback in mind. When a fan shared their hope that the former champions will teach ‘Dirty Dom’ a painful lesson, Belair made clear she wants a match with Mysterio.

Naomi is also ready to face Dominik Mysterio. Not only does she want to throw down with the Judgment Day member, but is eager to give him a painful makeover.

It remains to be seen if either the Glow or the EST will face Mysterio, but such matches will be possible in WWE 2K25. The upcoming game will mark the return of intergender matches as a playable feature, in a sharp turn from WWE’s usual stance on male vs. female contests. With over 300 playable characters, WWE 2K25 will be the literally biggest wrestling game ever, giving fans plenty of opportunities for intergender matches and more.

Belair and Naomi will be a part of the Women’s Elimination Chamber match on March 1, a match that will also feature Morgan. While the Chamber should in theory keep Dominik at bay, Belair and Naomi know to not count out cheating from Liv and her ‘Daddy Dom.’

Despite being one of WWE’s top stars, Bianca Belair admits that stepping into a leadership role in the company wasn’t always easy. In a recent interview with CBS Sports’ Shakiel Mahjouri, the former Raw and SmackDown Women’s Champion reflected on the challenges of moving from a rising star to a veteran presence in the locker room.

“When I first came onto the main roster, I was thrown into things very quickly,” Belair recalled. “I won the Royal Rumble, I main-evented WrestleMania. But I was used to being led. I was in the ring with a vet like Sasha [Banks], then Becky [Lynch], then Asuka, then Bayley. I wanted to soak up and absorb as much as I could from them.”

That dynamic changed when she became one of WWE’s most decorated superstars.

“I remember when I became Raw Women’s Champion, and all of a sudden, I was like, ‘Oh, okay… I’m not in the ring with them anymore. I have to lead now,’” she admitted.

“I got a little uncomfortable because I was so used to feeling safe. I knew we were going to have a great match, and they were leading me. Now, I was in this new role where I’m looked at as the vet, but I still felt like I was learning.”

Belair’s evolution extended beyond singles competition. Her time as a tag team wrestler alongside Naomi has helped her grow in new ways.

“I’ve learned more in a different way this past year than I’ve learned on the main roster,” she said. “I’ve learned how to be a better partner, how to take the ego out of things, and that it doesn’t always have to be about you for you to accomplish something.”

As she prepares for Elimination Chamber and a potential WrestleMania 41 showdown with Rhea Ripley, Belair continues to embrace her role as a leader.

“The division needs to evolve. That’s the whole point of all of this,” she said. “And I want to be part of that.”

WWE Elimination Chamber 2025 takes place this Saturday, March 1 from Toronto.

WWE power couple Bianca Belair and Montez Ford support each other in everything—but Belair draws the line at one of Ford’s bizarre diet habits. In a CBS Sports interview, Belair revealed her husband drinks raw egg whites every morning.

“That’s such a toxic trait to me,” she joked. “But you know what? I actually tried it, and it’s not that bad.”

Despite giving it a chance, Belair isn’t making it a habit.

“No, but you know what? I would rather drink the egg whites than eat boiled eggs at this point,” she admitted.

Years of training and meal prep left her burned out on traditional protein sources.

“I was eating so many boiled eggs that I don’t think I could eat another one in my life.”

The couple’s busy WWE schedule means they often rely on quick nutrition on the road—even gas station hard-boiled eggs in desperate situations. But Ford’s dedication to his raw egg whites remains unmatched.

“Maybe if I leave some in my purse for three days, Montez will still drink them,” Belair joked.

Bianca Belair isn’t just aiming for another WrestleMania moment—she wants two.The former WWE Women’s Champion revealed in a CBS Sports interview with Shakiel Mahjouri that she hopes to wrestle on both nights of WrestleMania 41, aiming for singles gold while also competing for the Women’s Tag Team Championships.

“I want to win the Elimination Chamber… I’ve won it before, so I want to win it again and go to WrestleMania. I want to face Rhea Ripley,” Belair said, calling it a “dream match” for both herself and fans.

But her ambitions don’t stop there. With WrestleMania now a two-night event, Belair wants to make history by wrestling on both nights on the show. In the interview taken before this week’s Raw, the EST said that she would love to walk out of the Show of Show with two titles:

“I would love to defend our tag team titles at WrestleMania. I would love to wrestle two nights and walk out with two titles.”

The duo of Bianca and Naomi lost the tag titles to Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez at this past Monday’s show. While it makes achieving her dream harder, she can still fulfil it by cashing in the rematch and challenging for both singles and tag gold at the two-night PPV.

Belair’s undefeated record at WrestleMania also adds intrigue to her plans. She currently holds a 4-0 streak at WWE’s biggest event and is determined to keep it alive.

“It’ll be number five, so I want to continue to be undefeated.”

With the Elimination Chamber match on March 1 serving as her path to Ripley, Belair’s road to WrestleMania 41 could lead to one of the most dominant weekends of her career.

WWE Elimination Chamber 2025 takes place this Saturday, March 1 from Toronto. WrestleMania 41 is scheduled for seven weeks later – Saturday, April 19 and Sunday April 20 from Las Vegas.

Bianca Belair has been one of WWE’s top babyfaces for years, but the question of a potential heel turn continues to follow her. During the WWE Elimination Chamber 2025 media call, the EST addressed the possibility, making it clear that if she ever turns, fans won’t be cheering for her.

“I never say never, but… being a successful babyface that can consistently stay at the top of the conversation is very hard. Once you get it, you don’t want to let go of that,” Belair explained.

She emphasized that any shift in character would have to be significant, not just for the sake of change.

“If that heel turn happens, the longer you can hold on to being a babyface, the bigger that heel turn will be,” she continued.

However, Belair made it clear that she has no interest in being the kind of heel that fans still cheer for.

“When I hear fans say, ‘I love so-and-so as a heel,’ that doesn’t work for me. If I ever turn heel, I want to be the kind of heel people genuinely don’t like… not the kind they ‘love to hate.’”

Belair also praised Nia Jax for playing the role of a true villain in the women’s division and acknowledged how valuable that is for WWE storytelling.

“Someone like Nia Jax, how valuable she is to this division playing that role—we need that,” she noted.

For now, Belair remains one of WWE’s top heroes, but her comments suggest that if she ever embraces the dark side, she’ll make sure fans truly despise her.

“Right now, I don’t know if I’m ready for that. I don’t know if the fans are ready for that. But if it ever happens, it’s going to be something big.”

With Elimination Chamber and WrestleMania on the horizon, Belair is focused on continuing her dominance. But if a character shift ever comes, it sounds like she’ll make sure it’s unforgettable.

Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez are the new WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions after winning the gold in the main event of the February 24, edition of WWE Monday Night Raw. The finish of the match saw Raquel prevent Naomi from hitting the split legged moonsault and then ram Naomi head into the post. With Naomi out cold, Morgan got the pinfall to end the reign of the Glow and Bianca Belair.

Belair and Naomi had been recognized as tag team champions since November 2024. Belair had held the gold since August’s Bash In Berlin PLE, where she won the gold since Jade Cargill. After Cargill was taken out by a mystery assailant, Naomi replaced her in the tag team.

This loss raises questions as to how Cargill will respond once she’s back, as she has lost a title in WWE without even being a part of the match. Many fans predict that either Belair or Naomi were behind the attack, an act that would turn either woman heel. Both have accused Liv and Raquel of being the attackers, though they have denied the claim.

This victory makes Liv Morgan a record-tying four-time WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion, while Raquel Rodriguez is now a three-time champion. As a team, this is the third reign for the Judgment Day members.

The February 10, edition of WWE Monday Night Raw saw the red brand take a huge step towards Elimination Chamber 2025, with two Superstars earning their spots in the PLE’s two chamber matches. Bayley defeated Lyra Valkyria to earn a spot in the Women’s Chamber while the main event of Raw saw Logan Paul defeat Rey Mysterio to punch his ticket to Toronto.

After Raw, the New Day attacked Mysterio, once again to a chorus of boos from the WWE Universe. Dragon Lee arrived to make the save and was able to hold off Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods for a period of time. Ultimately though, the numbers proved too much and Lee would also fall to the former Tag Team Champions.

The assault on Mysterio wasn’t the only notable moment after this week’s episode of Monday Night Raw went off the air. In a dark match after the show, Women’s Tag Team Champions Bianca Belair and Naomi put their titles on the line against Chelsea Green and Piper Niven. Despite the efforts of the challengers to make Green a double champion, Belair and Naomi retained their gold.

Belair has held the gold since WWE Bash In Berlin while Naomi has replaced Jade Cargill following the attack on the Storm in a parking lot. With another victory to their name, it may be a while before fans see the women’s tag team titles change hands.

On the February 7, edition of WWE SmackDown, Bianca Belair punched her ticket to Elimination Chamber by defeating Piper Niven in a Women’s Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match. In a WWE Digital Exclusive, the EST spoke about what winning her third chamber match will mean for her career.

“Its another opportunity to solidy your path to WrestleMania and go after a title. I love having this title [the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship] on my shoulder but I wouldn’t mind another one.”

Belair doesn’t just have experience inside the Elimination Chamber, but knows what it takes to win the brutal match. Despite having this experience, Belair explained why those yet to taste victory inside the Chamber may be at something of an advantage.

“I may be in the match with women who haven’t won before. There’s nothing more dangerous than someone who wants it who hasn’t had it before.”

Everybody will be “hungry” to win the Elimination Chamber match, and Belair knows that she may have to face Naomi, who will face Chelsea Green in a qualifier next week. When asked, Naomi said she’s taking this situation seriously and won’t underestimate the comedic Women’s U.S. Champion.

The winner of this match will earn a title match against whichever champion Charlotte Flair, the winner of the 2025 Women’s Royal Rumble match, opts not to face at WrestleMania 41. With Belair, Liv Morgan, and Alexa Bliss already qualified, this year’s Women’s Elimination Chamber is shaping up to be a star-studded affair on March 1, in Toronto.

The Indiana Pacers Vs. Detroit Pistons game had plenty of pro-wrestling spirit this week as part of a special WWE Night. Ahead of the January 29, game, Tyrese Haliburton, who’s no stranger to WWE, gifted custom jerseys to Bianca Belair and Montez Ford.

During the game, the WWE power-couple were spotlighted at courtside in their new jerseys.

Belair and Ford weren’t the only WWE names featured at this week’s game. To hype-up the Pacers’ walk-out, a video was played slicing footage of the players alongside The Rock and ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin. The video also used Limp Bizkit’s My Way, the iconic track behind the WrestleMania X-Seven promo package for the WWE Title match between the two legends.

With the WWE behind them, the Pacers charged to victory, besting the Detroit Pistons 113-119.

The company’s presence at the show, which was billed as ‘WWE Night’ months in advance, only goes to demonstrate the power that the WWE IP holds in sports outside of pro wrestling. WWE Superstars can often be found at other major sporting events, including the Super Bowl and Major League Baseball games. WWE will remain in Indianoplis for this weekend’s 2025 Royal Rumble Premium Live Event, the official launching point for the Road to WrestleMania 41.

NBA Star Tyrese Haliburton Teasing WWE Royal Rumble Surprises

WWE fans may soon witness a marquee singles match between Rhea Ripley and Bianca Belair. Both stars have expressed interest in facing each other in previous interviews, and according to Fightful Select, the bout has been discussed as a potential match for WWE WrestleMania 41. However, these plans are tentative and subject to change, as is often the case in WWE.

Ripley and Belair have been two of WWE’s top stars for several years but have mostly been kept apart, with only occasional teases of a matchup. Recently, Ripley regained the WWE Women’s World Championship by defeating Liv Morgan during the WWE Raw on Netflix premiere. Meanwhile, Belair continues to hold the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship alongside Naomi.

The two stars were previously slated to face each other at WWE Money in the Bank 2022, where Ripley was set to challenge Belair for the Raw Women’s Championship. However, an injury forced Ripley to withdraw, and Belair instead faced Carmella. Since then, Ripley and Belair’s interactions have been limited, though they did work together as teammates leading into WWE Survivor Series 2024 in the Women’s WarGames match.

WWE WrestleMania 41 is set to take place as a two-night event on Saturday, April 19, and Sunday, April 20, 2025, at Allegiant Stadium.

Bianca Belair will continue forward as a WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion, with a new partner to replace the injured Jade Cargill. Last month, Cargill was found laid out in a parking lot, seemingly the victim of an ambush. Belair, who was competing in a Women’s U.S. Title Tournament when Cargill was found, abandoned her match to check on her friend and tag-team partner.

On the December 13, episode of WWE SmackDown, SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis told Bianca Belair that Jade Cargill’s absence will cause them to relinquish the titles. Belair was against the idea, and Naomi arrived on the scene to argue that she can fill in for Cargill.

Aldis said that Belair and Naomi will need to be fighting champions, with a title defense planned for next week’s SmackDown. The SmackDown GM added that they are no closer to figuring out who attacked Cargill.

This segment marks Naomi’s first championship since returning to WWE in this year’s Women’s Royal Rumble. The Glow held the tag titles with Sasha Banks in 2022, as the pair infamously walked out of WWE still with the gold.

What Led to Naomi & Sasha Banks Walking Out Of WWE?

Many have named Naomi as a suspect in the case of who attacked Cargill, and the fact that she’s gained a tag title reign in her absence will only fuel speculation. Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest on Naomi, Belair, and Cargill, and the mystery of who took out the inaugural AEW TBS Champion.

Bianca Belair made sure a WWE 2K24 game player’s creativity came to life at WWE Survivor Series. Belair joined the crew of babyfaces to kick off the festivities of Survivor Series with the women’s War Games match, but had a one of a kind attire that so happened to be designed by a user of the WWE 2K24 Creative Community.

The Create-A-Wrestler days are quite different from the times of WWF No Mercy as fans can not only create their own wrestlers, but can be the tailor for some of their favorite WWE Superstars. One fan did just that for Belair and they made it very reflective of Bret Hart. Belair sported the pink, white and black duds as she made her way down for the opening “match beyond.” Belair is notorious for literally sewing her own outfits so that sense of creativity likely came from both her and the fan that made it via the gaming platform.

As Belair made her entrance, Michael Cole noted on commentary of the fan’s handywork before telling fans that WWE 2K24 was nominated for “Best Sports Game” for the forthcoming Game Awards. There’s only a set of five games in total nominated for the category as WWE 2K24 finds itself up against NBA 2K25, Top Spin 2K25 (a tennis game), F1 24, and EA SPORTS FC 25.

Belair’s gear must have brought good vibes as her team was “game” for the War Games fight. Bianca was on the winning side of the situation as Rhea Ripley happened to get a pinfall on Liv Morgan to secure the victory.

One-half of the Women’s tag team champions Bianca Belair recently came across Hollywood star Vanessa Hudgens.

Hudgens, who is an avid WWE fan, made her presence felt at the November 25th episode of WWE Raw, and she was on-camera. She whipped her hair like Belair, and even acknowledged Roman Reigns.

WWE dropped a video clip on social media which Hudgens met Bianca Belair in a backstage segment. Hudgens and Belair whipped their hair, and they hugged in a heartfelt moment. ‘The EST of WWE’ stated that she was excited that Hudgens was there and the latter also shared the same excitement.

Last night, Bianca Belair emerged victorious in the WarGames Advantage for her team, which found its fifth member. In the main event of the show, Belair squared off against WWE Women’s Champion Nia Jax. They went back and forth, and Belair had her strength on display during the clash. In the final moments of the match, Bayley came out and tripped up Jax. ‘causing her to hit an exposed turnbuckle. ‘The EST’ took advantage of it and scored the win.

Belair and Bayley looked at each other and nodded following the match. It appears that Bayley will join Belair’s team for the Women’s WarGames Match at WWE Survivor Series: WarGames.

Belair’s team had been down a member as Jade Cargill was attacked backstage and taken out of the match. It is still unclear who attacked Cargill. At WWE Survivor Series: WarGames, Belair, Naomi, Rhea Ripley, IYO SKY, and now seemingly Bayley will team up to take on the team of Jax, Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, Tiffany Stratton, and Candice LeRae.

Jade Cargill, Bianca Belair, and Tiffany Stratton have shared what they consider to be the toughest issues when it comes to being a WWE Superstar. Speaking with Jazzy’s World TV, Cargill shared how being away from her family is her biggest issue with life as a wrestler.

“The travel, being away from home. Just being tired and being okay with being tired. I would say that’s one of the toughest things.”

Bianca Belair agreed that family is a key thing to balance when on the road, but there are other matters a WWE Superstar has to contend with.

“Just trying to be everything. We’re trying to be a mom, and a step-mom and a wife and a Superstar all at the same time. And we’re trying to go out there and put on a show.”

While Belair knows firsthand that life as a Superstar isn’t easy, she is pleased that WWE has come a long way with the positions that women are able to aspire toward.

“WWE is in an amazing place right now where we are showing up and we’re showing out and we’re winning titles and main eventing and doing everything. We can do it all.”

While WWE has certainly made strides in its handling of female talent, Tiffany Stratton shared that her biggest gripe is that women continue to be overlooked.

“Being a female WWE superstar, a lot of times you get overlooked. A lot of times the men are kind of the main focal point and you know, a lot of times it can be hard for the women to get time for their matches.”

This trio of women are certainly kept busy in WWE, with Belair and Cargill currently in their second reign as Women’s Tag Team Champions. As Miss. Money in the Bank, Stratton is poised to have a title match down the line, potentially with her ally WWE Women’s Champion Nia Jax.

While all three are doing big things in WWE, no role is perfect and there are clear pitfalls to being a Superstar, especially a woman, in the company. Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest on these three and their futures as WWE Superstars.

WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair recently revealed that they will fly Naomi to have her in their corner on next week’s WWE Raw.

On last night’s edition of WWE SmackDown, tag champions Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair were outnumbered when Candice LeRae tried to interfere during their match against WWE Women’s Champion Nia Jax and Tiffany Stratton. However, Naomi evened the odds and took out LeRae which helped Belair and Cargill earn the victory.

Speaking on the SmackDown LowDown, Naomi discussed her upcoming title match against WWE Women’s Champion Nia Jax. Cargill and Belair then arrived and talked about their title match on the November 11th episode of WWE Raw. They asked her to support them, and Naomi said that she would. Cargill and Belair further stated that they would fly Naomi out to WWE Raw to have her in their corner.

Earlier this year, on Night One of WWE WrestleMania XL, Jade Cargill, Bianca Belair, and Naomi had joined forces to take on Damage CTRL’s Dakota Kai, Kairi Sane, and Asuka. They have been quite a cohesive team and they always have had each other’s back.

Cargill and Belair are now gearing up to defend their titles against WWE Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez on the November 11th edition of WWE Raw. Their latest title defense took place at WWE Crown Jewel PLE. On the other hand, Naomi will challenge Nia Jax for her title on the November 15th episode of WWE SmackDown.

Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair were able to overcome the odds at WWE Crown Jewel 2024 to retain the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships in Riyadh.

In the second match of the night, Cargill and Belair retained against Meta Four’s Jakara Jackson & Lash Legend, Damage CTRL’s IYO SKY & Kairi Sane, and Chelsea Green & Piper Niven. The finish of the match saw Belair get the win for her team after she and Cargill hit a colossal Doomsday Device on Piper Niven.

WWE Crown Jewel is taking place from the Mohammad Abdo Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The card for the show is as follows:

• Roman Reigns and The Usos (Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso) vs. The Bloodline (Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, and Tama Tonga) (with Tonga Loa)
• Cody Rhodes Vs. GUNTHER (WWE Crown Jewel Championship)
• Nia Jax Vs. Liv Morgan (WWE Women’s Crown Jewel Championship)
• Seth “Freakin” Rollins vs. Bronson Reed
• Randy Orton vs. Kevin Owens
• LA Knight (c) vs. Andrade vs. Carmelo Hayes (WWE U.S. Championship)
• Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair (c) vs. Damage CTRL (Kairi Sane and Iyo Sky) vs. Meta-Four (Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson) vs. Chelsea Green and Piper Niven (WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship)

WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill are brimming with confidence and they want challengers to step up.

Belair and Cargill had reclaimed the tag team titles at WWE Bash In Berlin after defeating The Unholy Union (Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn). Since then they have defended their titles against the likes of former champs, The Unholy Union and Meta-Four (Jakara Jackson & Lash Legend). Last night on WWE Raw, they defeated Damage CTRL (Kairi Sane & IYO SKY) after Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson interfered.

Speaking on Raw Talk after Monday’s WWE Raw, Belair and Cargill were asked about Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson sticking their nose in their match.

Bianca Belair: “Listen, they came to SmackDown, and they put up a good fight, they really should have been proud of themselves. They did, but instead of going back to NXT and working on their skills and getting stronger and faster, they decided to to show up to Raw tonight and get in our business?”

Jade Cargill: “[They] embarrassed themselves if you asked me. They made enemies tonight out of IYO and Kairi. Out of everybody, why would you do that? But I love that for this tag team division.”

Belair: “I do. You know what, I love the confidence, I have to say that. But they’re making enemies. But you know what, it’s making this whole tag team division interesting.”

Cargill: “That’s what we were trying to do from the beginning. But these are our belts.”

Belair: “It is, but I love competition, so this is fun for me.”

Cargill: “We love competition. Like we said, Raw, SmackDown, NXT, come get it. We welcome it. Come apply, baby.”

Belair: “Everybody wants our titles.

Cargill: “Yes. Come to SmackDown and get that smack down.”

Belair: “Whoever want it. Raw, NXT, SmackDown.”

Damage CTRL recently became the latest challengers who were unsuccessful in dethroning Cargill and Belair. The final moments of the match saw the IYO SKY getting in a verbal spat with Jakara Jackson and Lash Legend who were ringside. Jackson pulled back her hair and Legend hit a big elbow to her face. When SKY got back inside the ring, Belair hit the KOD to get the pinfall victory.

Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill have become one of the dominant tag teams in the women’s division. They have been thriving as the champs and are on an unstoppable title reign. They have had quite the run as a tag team despite the pairing was not in the plans.

• Jade Cargill Says Tag Team With Bianca Belair “Came Out Of The Blue”

As the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair are two of the biggest stars on the company’s roster. While the EST and the Storm aren’t currently set to compete at Bad Blood 2024, the pair will have a role at WWE’s upcoming Premium Live Event.

During the September 27, edition of WWE SmackDown, Belair and Cargill shared that they will be the official hosts of WWE Bad Blood. Not only that, but the Tag Team Champions also teased surprise appearances by “VIP guests” in Atlanta.

Belair and Cargill join other WWE Superstars who have served as the host of Premium Live Events, including The Miz who (alongside Snoop Dogg) hosted WrestleMania 39. This didn’t go so well for the A-Lister who was forced into impromptu matches with Pat McAfee and Shane McMahon, both of which he lost.

At this year’s Money in the Bank, Trish Stratus hosted the show in her native Toronto, Canada. In NXT, Meta-Four served as the hosts of Stand and Deliver in April of this year.

WWE Bad Blood 2024

WWE Bad Blood 2024 will take place on October 5, from the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia and will be WWE’s fourth Bad Blood event, as well as the first in over 20 years.

Here is the card for WWE Bad Blood 2024 as it currently stands:

• Liv Morgan (c) vs. Rhea Ripley (WWE Women’s World Championship, Dominik Mysterio will be suspended above the ring in a shark cage)

• Damian Priest vs. Finn Bálor

• CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre (Hell in a Cell)

• Nia Jax (c) vs. Bayley (WWE Women’s Championship)

• Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns vs. The Bloodline (Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu) (with Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa)

Stay tuned to SEScoops for all the latest from WWE Bad Blood 2024, including breaking news and live results from the much-anticipated show.

AEW may have had New York City last night as the host of Grand Slam, but WWE will take a bite out of the Big Apple next summer. On Thursday, WWE announced that the company will have a full weekened residence at MetLife Stadium on August 2 and August 3.

WWE released a press release breaking the news, but they also put together a promotional spot featuring Bianca Belair and hip-hop sensation Cardi B. In the video, Bianca gets a phone call and it’s Cardi on the other line and the package features one of her songs. Cardi B posted on X to share her excitement for the news and offered the following comment.

“Here’s to the Streets.. and to my girl Bianca Belair! SummerSlam. 2Nights. MetLife Stadium. August 2nd and 3rd”

WWE has been making the most of their wrestlers and their ties to rap artists who are also wrestling fans. Just two weeks ago, Megan Thee Stallion was revealed to be the new musical voice of the WWE SmackDown intro. Stallion even took to social media to tease a potential debut for WWE down the line.

The ironic aspect of these specific artists hitching their wagon to WWE is that both stars are admirers of Mercedes Mone who is neck deep in a massive contract with AEW. While on The Breakfast Club earlier this week, Mone revealed that there were match plans with Stallion, but now that she’s with AEW those plans are off. Surprisingly enough, Mone was not a presence on AEW Grand Slam.

Since 2015, WWE has made a conscious effort to take women’s wrestling more seriously, with the ‘Women’s Revolution’ proving to be a hit with fans. Earlier this year, NXT brought in WWE’s first women’s mid-card title with Kelani Jordan’s North American Women’s Championship, and could this happen on the main roster?

Speaking to the Battleground Podcast, Women’s Tag Team Champion Bianca Belair added her voice to those calling for a women’s mid-card title on WWE’s main roster. Belair, who’s also a former Raw, SmackDown, and WWE Women’s Champion, believes such a title would be a net benefit for the women’s division.

“Our roster is so stacked… everybody’s trying to fight for a spot on the card. I feel like another title would really highlight the true talent of our division.”

The Call For A Women’s Mid-Card Title

Bianca Belair is the latest WWE name to speak in favor of a women’s mid-card championship. In 2022, Dana Brooke (now TNA’s Ash By Elegance) said that during her tenure with the 24/7 Championship, she hoped to transition the gold into a women’s Intercontinental Championship. While Brooke believed the change would motivate women outside the main title picture to strive for something, the idea never got off the ground. 

In April of this year, WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker agreed that WWE’s deep women’s division could benefit from not one, but two women’s mid-card titles, one for Raw and one for SmackDown. Raquel Rodriguez, who has held gold in both WWE NXT and the main roster, said in 2022 that she was pushing for a mid-card title for women.

There have been discussions within WWE about introducing women’s mid-card titles to the main roster, Fightful Select reported back in July of this year. While there are no current plans to introduce new titles, it is something that a number of talent have pushed for over several years.

Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill were left off some of the recent WWE Premium Live Events and the superhero-like pair has addressed the matter.

Belair and Cargill are the reigning WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, and they want to elevate the titles. While speaking on The Masked Man Show, Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill were asked how they felt when they were excluded from premium live events. The former AEW star said that she is looking at it as motivation. She said that they are reviving the tag team titles and want to take the gold to new heights. That being said, she does want to get featured on more PLEs.

“It’s motivation. I would say it’s motivation for us to go out there and perform and have our fans go and beg for us to be on these PLEs like they’ve been doing. If we go out there and we continue to crush our matches, they’re going to do nothing but want more and more of it.

Right now, I believe that [Bianca] and I are reviving these belts and wanting to elevate these belts to new heights. So our job is to continue to elevate the women’s division. As far as the tag team division, [we want to] get on more PLEs, and we just performed, people loved that. We’re gonna continue to perform and be on more and more and more. The motivation is there.”

On the other hand, ‘The EST of WWE’ said she did not take offense to being left off of the PLEs. She spoke about the talented women’s roster and tag team division and felt that other talents needed the opportunity to perform on the shows. The former WWE Women’s Champion explained:

“I want to be on as many PLE’s as possible, but at the same time, it’s a dog-eat-dog world out here, and so many people, so many talents that want to be on these PLEs, and there’s not a lot of matches right now. So I don’t take offense to it when we aren’t on them, but I just know I’m rooting for the girls when it’s their turn on it. Because I know it’s gonna be our turn, we’re gonna want them to root for us, so we’re just gonna keep doing our thing and take these titles to as many places as possible.”

Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair recently defeated The Unholy Union (Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn) to reclaim the women’s tag titles which they had dropped in June. On the season premiere edition of Raw on September 9th, the Unholy Union challenged yet again for the gold but they were unsuccessful.

The Women’s tag team division hasn’t been thriving despite efforts from the likes of Damage CTRL and the newly formed Pure Fusion Collective. Belair and Cargill have been a top act in the women’s division but they need more credible opponents to pose a challenge for the titles. The powerhouse duo is having quite a run as a tag team but Cargill previously said that it was initially not in the plans.

• Jade Cargill Says Tag Team With Bianca Belair “Came Out Of The Blue”

Bianca Belair is set to appear in an upcoming episode of Bel-Air when the new episode of the hit show drops later this week. The EST has been confirmed for season three of Bel-Air, a modern-day spin-off of the 90s TV classic The Fresh Prince of Belair. Belair will appear in the season’s seventh episode titled Black Lotus. A description for the episode in question reads:

Viv and Phil spend some quality time together at a resort in Mexico; Will is stuck in a hard place between his family and chosen family.

WWE has shared a clip of Belair’s involvement with the episode.

This marks Belair’s acting debut on TV but not her first role outside of the squared circle. Belair is one of the lead names in the reality TV series Love & WWE: Bianca & Montez. The show’s eight episodes detail the careers and lives of Belair and her husband Montez Ford with episodes ranging from dealing with the stress of WrestleMania to deciding about possibly having children of their own.

What’s to Come?

Belair is currently competing as part of WWE’s ongoing tour of Europe and will be in action this Saturday at WWE Bash in Berlin. In Germany’s Uber Arena, she and Jade Cargill will challenge the Unholy Union (Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn) for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships. Belair is also being promoted for the SmackDown in Berlin that’ll take place the night prior to the PLE.

Belair has a somewhat mixed experience competing in Europe. She and Cargill won the titles at WWE Backlash: France but lost the gold to Fyre and Dawn at WWE Clash At The Castle: Scotland. Stay tuned to SEScoops for all the latest on WWE Bash in Berlin including breaking news and live results this week.

A trio of WWE Superstars paid tribute to Olympic Champion Simone Biles on the latest edition of WWE SmackDown on FOX. During the show, Jade Cargill, Naomi, and Bianca Belair united to take on WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions The Unholy Union (Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn) and Blair Davenport. The two sides have been at odds for some time and Davenport has helped the champion retain their gold against Cargill and Belair.

Belair, Cargill, and Naomi wore a series of colorful attires for this week’s WWE SmackDown which aired from the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. Eagle-eyed fans will have noticed that these attires were all inspired by attires Biles has worn in gymnastics.

The Biles-inspired team got the win on SmackDown. The Unholy Union and Davenport isolated Belair until The EST finally made the tag to Cargill, who emerged as a one-woman wrecking crew. Naomi got the win for her team after hitting a split-legged moonsault on Blair Davenport.

What’s To Come?

The Unholy Union will defend their WWE Tag Team Championships at WWE Bash in Berlin against Jade Cargill & Bianca Belair. The challengers have so far had a mixed experience at WWE PLEs in Europe as they won the gold at Backlash: France and lost the titles to the Unholy Union at Clash At The Castle: Scotland.

WWE Bash In Berlin will take place on August 31, and will air from the Uber Arena in the German capital. The show will mark WWE’s first Premium Live Event from Germany and the latest in a string of shows that have seen WWE travel beyond North America. Stay tuned to SE Scoops for all the latest from WWE Bash in Berlin, including breaking news and live results next weekend.

Several WWE superstars (and one former talent) are the next contestants on Celebrity Family Feud. The latest WWE installment of the show airs this Tuesday, August 20, on ABC at 8 PM ET/5 PM PT and will also stream on Hulu. The episode features men vs. women, with Bobby Lashley, The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins & Montez Ford), Austin Theory, and LA Knight taking on Mia Yim, Jade Cargill, Bianca Belair, Zelina Vega, and Sonya Deville.

The episode was taped back on April 13. At the time, Lashley was in a faction with The Street Profits as The Pride and was coming off a win over The Final Testament (Karrion Kross, Akam & Rezar) at WrestleMania 40 on April 7. His last televised match was a loss alongside Santos Escobar to LA Knight in a triple-threat match on the April 12 episode of Friday Night Smackdown.

Another notable example of the episode being taped is that Theory is pictured with the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championship. He and his partner Grayson Waller would lose the titles to DIY(Johnny Gargano & Tommaso Ciampa) during Friday Night Smackdown on July 12.

The upcoming Celebrity Family Feud will give fans a different look at the WWE superstars outside the ring as they compete to answer the right questions. However, Lashley’s appearance in the episode will remind wrestling viewers that he is no longer with the company and put a spotlight on him as he enters free agency.

Bobby Lashley’s Next Moves

Lashley’s contract with WWE expired on August 16. He and his former Hurt Business ally, MVP, were moved to the company’s alumni section. In an Instagram post on the day of his WWE departure, Lashley shared a video of him working out with the caption,

Both are currently available to sign with any promotion with the expectation by fans that they will work together. It was also revealed that a company linked to MVP named Totally Harmless Concept, LLC, recently registered the trademark The Hurt Syndicate. Lashley is dealing with an arm injury but has openly shared that he wants to continue his wrestling career.

Time will tell who Lashley will compete for next. However, his appearance on Celebrity Family Feud gives him more exposure as he navigates free agency.

The Superstars of WWE continued to make waves at the ongoing Fanatics Fest NYC event which is home to some of the biggest names in sports.

WWE At Fanatics Fest NYC: Day Two

WWE CCO Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque delighted fans with an appearance at day two of Fanatics Fest NYC. Though his career in the ring may be over, the Cerebral Assassin couldn’t help but perform his iconic entrance.

In the run-up to the day, WWE and Fanatics had promoted a special tag-team partner for WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio. That mystery partner was revealed to be none other than hip-hop star Travis Scott.

Scott has previously appeared for WWE in segments with ‘Main Event’ Jey Uso. He was by no means the only celebrity engaged in WWE antics at Fanatics Fest NYC as several stars showed their WWE spirit during day one of the convention.

Bianca Belair was also at day two of Fanatics Fest NYC. On Twitter, the EST was grateful to her fans who made the trip to the Javits Center.

There’s plenty to excite wrestling fans at Fanatics Fest NYC with appearances, panels, and much more announced. Stay tuned to SE Scoops for the latest from the convention.
