Bianca Belair Opens Up About Upcoming Championship Milestone

WWE

WWE Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair has opened up about an upcoming milestone she’s set to reach.

Belair notably won the Raw Women’s Title from Becky Lynch at WrestleMania 38 in April. The EST is less than two weeks away from celebrating her 200th day as champion.

If Belair reaches this milestone, she will become the first black woman to hold a WWE championship for 200 days.

Speaking with BT Sport about the milestone, Belair said:

“Oh wow. Ok, even more pressure. I need to hit that milestone. We have to make that happen…I always say we because I never feel like I’m on this journey alone because my fans are with me. We got to make this happen. That’s a huge milestone.

“I wanna keep breaking those barriers and be that person that shows this is possible. Let’s keep riding with this. So, even more pressure, let’s make it happen because, you know what? I’m going against Bayley, who is the longest-reigning SmackDown Women’s Champion.

“I don’t like that because she has something that ends in EST, and everything that ends in EST belongs to me, so that’s my goal to be the longest-reigning Raw Women’s Champion. That starts with getting past 200 days. That’s crazy.”

Belair will defend the Raw Women’s Championship against Bayley in a ladder match at Extreme Rules. Several other stipulation matches have been announced for the event, including ‘I Quit’, Strap and Donnybrook matches.
