Bianca Belair made history at the Royal Rumble last Sunday. This week on SmackDown (02.05.21), Bianca intended to announce her WrestleMania opponent. Although many thought she would choose Sasha Banks, things did not go so well.

Before the announcement, Belair appeared in an interview with Kayla Braxton. She reiterated how winning the Royal Rumble changed her life. Braxton then asked her if she was ready to make the ultimate decision.

Belair said how people warned her to take her time and think about her opponent at WrestleMania, but the ‘EST’ knew who she wanted to face. That is why she was on SmackDown after all.

During the segment, Belair praised both the RAW and SmackDown Women’s Champions, but she knew that if she wanted to put the ‘EST’ at WrestleMania, she had to face one particular woman.

Just when she was about to announce her WrestleMania opponent, Reginald, Carmella’s associate, interrupted the segment. He asked her to think about her decision once again.

Carmella came out next and bragged about beating Banks twice and said, she can do the same to Belair as well.
