“Imagine this rookie being the one to end Sasha Banks’s reign as SmackDown Women’s Champion. And I did it. I did it. I did it and it’s just an amazing feeling. I just knew I had to give it my all. Sasha Banks is amazing and I can’t thank her enough.” – Bianca
In her first-ever singles match at WrestleMania. In the main event. Bianca Belair defeated The Blueprint Sasha Banks to win her first gold in WWE, the SmackDown Women’s Championship.
It was a history-making moment that people will remember for a lifetime. Tears were shed and emotions were high. As the opening bell rang it already pulled in each and every fan at Raymond James Stadium and those at home.
Belair took part in a Watch Along moment after her gigantic win to send many thanks, how it felt to be back in front of a live crowd and wanting a rematch against Banks.
“That first moment, I felt like we just felt the moment. Hearing the fans for the first time in over a year. Hearing EST and Boss, we just wanted to stay in that moment because it was an amazing opportunity to main event WrestleMania. We were creating history and we wanted that image to be in the world. Just standing there, that was honestly one of my favorite parts of the match. Just taking my time and soaking it all in. That’s what this was all about. That moment, in the beginning, that’s what I’m going to remember for the rest of my life. That feeling, making people feel something. What we do, we do to put smiles on fans faces. The fans put a smile on our faces in that moment. My heart was so full of love and joy and my mind is just so blown. I’m just so full of joy. I’m blessed.”
Belair was asked how the support from fans and the drive from her husband, family, and faith keeps her going.
“What I can say is winning this title means so much to me, but when it’s not just about me and I feel like everyone feels like they’re part of it, this is what this is about. And my purpose is to inspiring people, and touching people, and connecting with people because that’s what lasts. Your time, it can come and it can go and it can come back but the way you connect with people in the way you inspire people, you know my role models inspired me I’m here because of them.”
Belair’s time on the main roster has been short. Just a year now. However, in that year she has done a lot without a live audience and without her family being able to see her in person. Her debut was done without a live crowd, her Royal Rumble win was done without a live crowd, now finally her family and fans were able to see her in person and achieve such a beautiful moment.
Even her opponent who she has given an immense amount of praise to was trying to fight back smiles after her loss.
Look at Sasha Banks struggling to hide her joy while selling at ringside as Bianca Belair celebrated her victory in the ring. The smile says it all.
Other Superstars took to social media as well to praise both women in the main event and to congratulate Belair on her win. Talent from not only WWE but throughout the industry has said many positive messages surrounding what we witnessed last night.
I love you @SashaBanksWWE so much! I am so proud on a million different levels of you & you know all the reasons. Congratulations to the NEW Champ @BiancaBelairWWE you are an absolute star. I’m excited to watch you shine brighter than ever. Happy #WrESTlemania ?? #HERstory
I refuse to respond to any trolls regarding the main event last night and why it matters. It was explained. It was felt.?? Doesn’t matter if you agree or not. It’s important.? https://t.co/2JyhBsrjGr
Thank you @BiancaBelairWWE and @SashaBanksWWE for propelling women’s wrestling one notch further. Thank you for your integrity, tenacity, and fearlessness. That was a fucking main event. Period. Absent of gender, race, and age. I love Professional Wrestling. TAG ME IN!!
