Bianca Belair is the current Raw women’s champion in WWE. She is at the pinnacle of her career with both the ‘Gold’ and an offer of a reality TV show in her hands. But, there was a time when all these were far away from ‘The EST’.

Her embarrassing loss to Becky Lynch at SummerSlam 2021 was a big obstacle in the path of her successful career. However, Bianca conquered that obstacle like a ‘Queen’. She took motivation from failure and earned the success she deserved. 

Recently, Bianca Belair joined Ryan Satin in the latest episode of the podcast ‘Out of Character’. There she put light on the affairs currently going on in her life. She also talked about her husband Montez Ford, her former rival Becky Lynch and 16-time WWE world champion John Cena. During the podcast, a segment came when the host asked ‘The EST’ about the time when she took inspiration from someone else’s success during her failure.

To this, Bianca immediately referred to the match with Becky Lynch from SummerSlam 2021. In the match, Becky Lynch defeated Belair in just 26 seconds. Bianca mentioned that she even printed out the picture of Becky standing tall over her and hung that in her gym for motivation. 

While talking to the host, Bianca said, “I would say, Becky Lynch, SummerSlam 26 seconds….and you know what they have used that picture… over and over and over again of me just laying out after….and her just standing over top of me….So I printed that picture out…and I hung it up in my gym”

The time wasn’t in her favor, but Bianca took it as an inspiration and the very next year, at WrestleMania 38, ‘The EST’ defeated Lynch for the Raw women’s title. She continued her merry run and emerged victorious in the SummerSlam pay-per-view of 2022 as well.
