One of the top-notch performers in WWE currently is undoubtedly Bianca Belair, who is now the longest-reigning Raw Women’s Champion. Belair has unlocked this massive achievement in her first reign only. To achieve this, she conquered Asuka in WrestleMania 39, which The Empress of Tomorrow has seemingly not forgotten. 

The intense women’s title match at The Show of the Shows excited the fans from the start. With the Japanese wrestler’s mind games, it became more interesting. But as we know, despite Asuka’s numerous attempts, it was Belair who successfully defended her title in the end. And this loss then turned Asuka into more of a heel both in the ring and outside of it.

In the May 12 episode of WWE SmackDown, fans in Knoxville were ready to welcome their hometown hero, Bianca Belair, back to their city. And the RAW Women’s Champion also showed up to celebrate her record-breaking title reign. But, Asuka had some other plans for her.

Before The EST of WWE could say a word, Asuka made her way to the ring. She came and offered a handshake to Belair for her massive record. And to trust her for that was a mistake that Bianca Belair made. As a result, Asuka sprayed green mist all over the 41-year-old’s face.

After this, Belair sold the attack, and the quick segment wrapped up. However, soon after this, the Raw Women’s Champion took to Twitter to react furiously to it.

In response to that, Asuka came up with her choice of words that would anger Belair more. She said, “How did you like the taste of the chili pepper mist? ٩(^‿^)۶ I hope you like it.

This battle on social media is proof in itself of how Bianca Belair is renewing hostilities with her old foe. However, this use of the internet by Asuka to display her emotions against someone isn’t something new. 

Asuka used the internet before her WrestleMania 39 to play her mind games

Before the Japanese wrestler’s match against The EST of WWE at WrestleMania 39, the former went on to social media. She did multiple tweets, one of which asked if people’s hatred was for her or because she was competing against Bianca Belair.

Another tweet of hers appeared to mock her WrestleMania opponent. All of it added to the mind games she was playing before the big match.
