Bianca Belair shows a glimpse of star power

Last week on WWE Raw, Bianca Belair and Ruby Riott defeated the IIconics in a tag team match that was actually Ruby’s first win since returning overall. Better yet, the segment has received nearly 900,000 views on YouTube, which is much more than what you’d expect from a random tag team match with no stated stakes.

That’s because of Bianca Belair. WWE fans want to see her and know that she has the talent to become one of the top stars in the company. Other superstars have said this about her, and her body of work in NXT speaks for itself, even if she’s frustratingly never won a title yet.

Bianca has a way of standing out in every single segment she’s in, and this week’s Raw was no exception. Her command of the room, quick wit, charisma, promo skills, and understanding of what works in wrestling allow her to shine above her peers in any setting.

Even though the segment with Peyton Royce and Riott lasted only a couple of minutes, the EST of NXT only needed a couple of minutes to get fans on social media buzzing about her potential on Monday nights. WWE needs to take notice and move towards capitalizing on that after not using her for a while.
