How Can Bianca Belair Focus on WrestleMania?
Bianca Belair’s victory in the Elimination Chamber in Toronto marked a significant moment in her career, as it makes her the number one contender for the Women’s World Championship at WrestleMania 41. However, the emotional start of the match has left her in a precarious position. In arguably the second biggest moment of the whole night was when her friend, Jade Cargill, who had been out of action since December, returned and attacked another close friend, Naomi. Belair was in shock and was in an emotional mess inside of her chamber pod, unable to do anything as the attack was happening.
The narrative surrounding Cargill’s return had been clouded by speculation about a mysterious attacker, with fans and Belair herself initially believing it to be Judgement Day’s Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez, the former of whom was also in the Chamber match, scared that Cargill was targeting her. However, Cargill’s attack on Naomi makes everyone believe that the perpetrator was none other than her, who was eliminated from the Chamber after the attack. This situation has put Belair in a difficult spot. She is caught between two friends who seem to be at odds, and the emotional weight of their conflict could impact her championship aspirations.
Belair’s history with Cargill and Naomi adds another layer of complexity to her current predicament. Belair and Cargill were both Tag Team Champions, and when Cargill could not compete, Naomi stepped in as an interim champion, showcasing their strong bond and teamwork. Naomi and Belair then lost the Tag Titles to Morgan and Rodriguez before the Chamber. However, this bond now hangs in the balance as Jade's aggression raises questions about loyalty and trust. Bianca posted on her Twitter “I still want answers” and she is going to struggle to reconcile her feelings for both women while preparing for a high-stakes match at WrestleMania, creating a huge emotional landscape that could make her lose focus on her journey.
As Belair gears up for her championship match at WrestleMania, the stakes are not just about the championship, but also what her friends are going to do to each other. The uncertainty surrounding who will emerge as the Women’s World Champion after Rhea Ripley defends her title against Iyo Sky on tomorrow’s episode of Monday Night Raw only adds to the pressure. With her friends at odds and the big championship opportunity, Bianca faces a daunting challenge, how to channel her emotions into a focused and determined performance on the grandest stage of them all. She has been part of a tag team with Cargill for over a year, and for it to end like this, she might want more answers from that instead of the championship.
