Hot Clip 34: Is This The NXT Version of Bianca Belair Coming Out?

Показать описание

Bianca Belair is such a superlative competitor that she considers herself The EST of WWE. Proclaiming to be the strongest, fastest, toughest and all-around best Superstar going, Belair has been an exceptional athlete her entire life.

Before joining WWE, Belair earned All-SEC and All-American honors in track-and-field at the University of Tennessee. Arriving in NXT, she effectively backed up her EST moniker and gained instant notoriety with big numbers in the WWE Performance Center weight room: Belair led the field in the 2016 and 2017 NXT Combines, thanks to feats like deadlifting 415-pounds.

Unsurprisingly, Belair’s competitive nature has carried over into the ring. Though she relies on rugged power, Belair can be creatively merciless, too, using her long hair braid to whip opponents to shreds. She isn’t afraid to take big risks either, as she showed in the second round of the Mae Young Classic by launching a picture-perfect 450 splash against Kairi Sane and gave a standoff performance in the 2020 Women's Royal Rumble Match, where the dynamic competitor lasted more than 33 minutes and eliminated eight competitors.

Showing remarkable progress in a short time, Belair emerged at WrestleMania 36 to lend a helping hand to The Street Profits. She then hit the scene on the main roster, first on Raw with the proclamation, "I go here now." From there, she moved to the blue brand where she quickly became a standout competitor against the likes on Bayley and Carmella. And after winning the 2021 Royal Rumble Match and defeating Sasha Banks at WrestleMania 37 to claim the SmackDown Women's Title for the first time, Belair showed that she was indeed The EST of SmackDown.

After being selected by Raw in the first round of the 2021 WWE Draft, however, the ever-determined Superstar lost her SmackDown Women's Title to Becky Lynch in mere seconds at SummerSlam before bouncing back to dethrone Big Time Becks for the Raw Women's Title in a show-stealing bout at The Showcase of the Immortals.

Having already accomplished so much, Belair has never wavered in her goal of remaining The EST of WWE.

Nobody is ready for Asuka. And The Empress proved that by not being pinned or submitted from her debut in NXT in October 2015 until WrestleMania 34 in April 2018.

Marching to the ring in a traditional noh mask and kaleidoscopic battle gear and looking every bit the victor before the opening bell even rings, Asuka has used her perfect technique and wicked intentions to take down everybody from Becky Lynch to Bayley to Sasha Banks. All the while, the fierce Japanese Superstar has worn an intimidating smile on her face, seemingly finding joy in stretching out her overmatched opponents.

She has racked up a resumé like no other during her time in WWE as a Grand Slam Champion, holding the NXT, Raw and SmackDown Women’s Championships in addition to the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship with Kairi Sane, Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss. Not to mention, she was the winner of the first-ever Women’s Royal Rumble Match.

At WWE Elimination Chamber 2023, Asuka made history by becoming the first woman to win the Royal Rumble, Money in the Bank and Elimination Chamber Matches. She didn't wait very long to follow up on that milestone as she went on to end the epic run of Bianca Belair to once again lay claim to the Raw Women's Title at WWE Night of Champions.

The Empress remains as dangerous as ever between the ropes, and to this day, few can ever claim to have truly been ready for Asuka.
