Bianca Belair Promo: We’re on the road to MITB, we’re three weeks away from coming to you live in person with fans. And tonight I’m gonna whup on Bayley again. But after HIAC I haven’t been able to stop celebrating, I keep shining my title, to remember the girl in that reflection DID THAT, she persevered, cuz Bayley threw everything at me, using my hair against me over and over, and while I’ll never forget that pain in the cell, I can’t stop smiling. For all those that are bullied, this title reminds you that WE are stronger than that, they can laugh at us like the wicked witch of the west, but ding dong the witch is dead.
