But Belair not only prevailed but put on a wonderful showcase, proving that she can deliver on the big stage. On WWE’s Behind the Scenes special, Belair revealed the thoughts that went through her head before facing Bayley.
Everything just happened so fast, but that seems to be my story. From SmackDown to Royal Rumble, to WrestleMania, to the main event and then finding out I’m actually gonna be in Hell in a Cell on SmackDown. So, two days ago. Now, I’m here so I’m just trying to absorb it and soak it all in. And get ready, ’cause I’ve never been inside of a cell.
A lot of people ask me what’s next? What’s next? You’ve already been on the Grandest Stage of Them All, WrestleMania. The fact that I’ve done that, it only makes sense for me to be in Hell in a Cell and defend my title in these ways. Not just having a regular title match but putting me inside this cell.

By entering Hell in a Cell, Bianca Belair becomes the first women to compete inside the hellacious structure who isn’t part of the Four Horsewomen. Sasha Banks has competed in the most cell matches with three, while Bayley and Charlotte Flair competed in two each. Becky Lynch has competed in one.
“I’m the first person to be in Hell in a Cell that’s not one of the Four Horsewomen. Pushing through is like that new generation of women’s wrestling and I just wanna show up and show out for that.”
