Bianca Belair hits another milestone in her career as she has reached 300 days as Raw Women’s Champion.
Belair has held the gold since she defeated her rival Becky Lynch at WrestleMania 38. This puts her just five days behind Charlotte Flair’s total combined days (with six reigns) of 305 and just nine days behind Asuka (with two reigns) at 309. The only two women who have a longer combined day reign are Alexa Bliss and Becky Lynch.
Belair has successfully defended her title against the likes of Sonya Deville, Becky Lynch, Asuka, Carmella, and Bayley. Her last title defense against Alexa Bliss ended in disqualification. The two will be facing each other in a rematch at the Royal Rumble on Jan. 28.
Check back in with Diva Dirt to discuss the Royal Rumble on Jan. 28 in the Discussion Post.
Bianca Belair is still the Raw Women’s Champion as she defeated Bayley in a Last Woman Standing Match at Crown Jewel.
The match had it all. The common weapons of kendo sticks, ladders, tables, and chairs. Both women found out earlier on in the match that they will have to end up trapping their opponent to prevent them from getting up before the count of 10.
Bayley tried to capture Belair both in the ring steps as well as in a road case at the top of the stage to try and keep her down. A golf cart entered the mix before Bayley went through a table. The brawl goes back in the ring with steel chairs and a ladder. Belair hits a KOD to Bayley’s knee first on a steel chair. She places Bayley inside a ladder and pushes her into the corner under the turnbuckle so that she is unable to escape. The referee counts to 10 and Belair is still the Raw Women’s Champion.
Earlier in the night, Damage CTRL regained the Women’s Tag Team Championships. You can read more on that here.
Rhea Ripley and Scarlett were two women who also were on the show. Scarlett attempted to help Karrion Kross in his steel cage match against Drew McIntyre. Even though she pulled out the mace to spray in McIntyre’s eyes, it would be McIntyre who won the match.
Ripley helped out The Judgment Day as per usual to defeat The O.C. Commentary continues to say who can fight off Ripley with Michael Cole even saying someone needs to kick her ass. Ripley wore a Beth Phoenix-inspired hairdo saying that it was to honor the late great Beth Phoenix.

Charlotte Flair is the new RAW Women’s Champion after making Nikki A.S.H. tap in a Triple Threat match which also included Rhea Ripley at SummerSlam. The three women have been in a feud ever since after WrestleMania Backlash in May where then-Nikki Cross was working her way into the title picture. Nikki would go on … Read more
RAW Women’s Champion Nikki A.S.H. is throwing out a lot of names that she would love to fight as champion. Since cashing in on Charlotte Flair to win the RAW Women’s Championship on July 19, the RAW after winning the Money in the Bank briefcase, she has still had to fight off both Flair and Rhea Ripley’s advances. The three will be battling in a Triple Threat at SummerSlam on Aug. 21 with the title on the line. But who else would Nikki love to defend her title against?
Other than Flair and Ripley, who Nikki has had her championship victory surrounded by, an obvious choice may be Alexa Bliss. The two have a huge history together and have even held the Women’s Tag Team Championships twice. While talking with Bleacher Report, Nikki provided some other names which are fan favorites that are rarely or never seen in the title picture.
“We have so many female Superstars that as almost a superhero, as the Raw Women’s champion, I’ll be a fighting champion,” she said. “I’ll defend my championship against anyone and everyone. Personally, I’d love to mix it up with Mia Yim. I’d love to mix it up with Tamina. One of my favorite matches of my career was at a live event that me and Tamina had in San Diego a few years ago, so I’d love to mix it up with Tamina.
Nikki continues, “I’d love to mix it up with Naomi, Liv Morgan—so many women I’d love to do something with. Also on Raw, we have Eva Marie and Doudrop, and I know Doudrop from Scotland. That would be an amazing moment, getting to fight against her. We went to the same wrestling school in Scotland, and we’ve both had amazing journeys but very different journeys. I’d love to do that match.”
While speaking with Bleacher Report, Nikki also discusses her journey through NXT. She holds dear to one match in particular which was her Last Woman Standing Match with Asuka for the NXT Women’s Title.
“I love looking back on the last five years, and I was incredibly fortunate to be involved in these awesome stories in NXT. The Last Woman Standing match with Asuka is the match I’m most proud of in my career, so I’m so fortunate to be a part of what I was a part of in NXT. It’s been incredible for both [me and Bianca], and I’m so over the moon for Bianca as SmackDown women’s champion.
“I think everything happens for a reason, so when I look back at the last five-and-a-half years, everything has prepared me for this moment. I’m ready to represent the company in this way, and I’m honored and privileged to hold this Raw Women’s Championship.”
Nikki isn’t the first champion as of late to advocate for newer and fresh opponents in the title scene. Rhea Ripley mentioned it when she was RAW Women’s Champion and Bayley had frequently talked about challenging other opponents such as Liv Morgan while she was SmackDown Women’s Champion.
