Sasha Banks & Bayley Credited For Elevating Bianca Belair

Bianca Belair had humble beginnings in WWE, where she first started out in NXT. She was then called up to the main roster during the pandemic. Her stock finally rose after winning the 2021 Royal Rumble and then beating Sasha Banks for the Smackdown Women’s Title last year.

After that, she engaged in a feud with Bayley that further developed her character and did wonders for her title reign. Both Sasha and Bayley certainly played a huge role in Belair’s development in the end.

While speaking on Taylor Wilde’s ‘Wilde On’ podcast, Natalya talked about how much Sasha Banks and Bayley elevated Bianca Belair thanks to their feuds.

“Sasha [Banks] of course has transcended even beyond WWE having been a part of The Mandalorian which is huge. I mean to be a part of a Star Wars trilogy but, Sasha and Bayley, I witnessed first-hand, those two women did so much to help Bianca [Belair] last year when Bianca was on her rise in WWE, when Bianca needed all the help she could get. Sasha and Bayley, they were two women that I was so impressed by that they had the star power being The Four Horsewomen and they helped. They were like, listen, ‘we’re gonna grab Bianca by the hand, we’re gonna make sure she shines, we’re gonna help her get to where she needs to go until Bianca can soar on her own.”
