Bianca Belair teases possibly going after the NXT Women’s Championship.
Belair is a graduate of NXT, and has been successful on the WWE main roster with multiple Women’s Championship wins. However, she never was able to capture the NXT Women’s Championship while she was in NXT, despite multiple attempts.
Recently, Becky Lynch captured the NXT title and defended it several times before dropping it to Lyra Valkyria at NXT Halloween Havoc week one.
Speaking to TheWrestlingClassic’s Justin Dhillon and Nickie Booshie of Shakkas Den on Casual Conversations, Bianca teased possibly returning to NXT to go after the championship she never won.
“When I saw Becky in NXT, and then she got the title, I was like, ‘Oh, wait,’ because she never got the title when she was in NXT and so I was very happy for her. I was like, ‘You go and get that title,’ because we all know that, especially when you start in NXT, that’s where you’re trying to prove yourself. That’s where the grind is real, you’re trying to show ‘I belong here,’ and that’s the foundation of everything,” Bianca said. “So, to leave NXT without the title, even though you go and — Becky went and main-evented WrestleMania, I main-evented WrestleMania. I’ve become a three-time champion. I’ve done historic matches on the main roster, [but] it’s still in the back of your mind. You’re just like, ‘But I never got that back then.’ For me, that NXT Title was validation for me when I was in NXT and I never understood like, ‘Why can’t I accomplish this and get this title, because if I can’t do this here, how can I do things on the main roster?’
“So, when I saw her get that title, I was like ‘I know that was a checkmark for her,’ and even though she’s gone on to do great things, that was always something she wanted to check off her list,” Belair added. ” I’m like, ‘You know what? I feel her because I feel the same way.’ So, yes, I can see one day trying to go and Mark that off my accomplishments list because I was never able to do that.”
