10 Incredible Wrestling Title Wins (…That Led To RUBBISH Reigns)
8. Bianca Belair: WWE SmackDown Women's Championship
WWE, outlandishly under the Vince McMahon regime, consistently booked Bianca Belair to look like a headliner between the 2021 Royal Rumble and WrestleMania 37. She grappled enduringly throughout the former match, giving the women's bout its closest bell-to-bell act yet by conquering 29 others from the number three slot, surmounting Rhea Ripley in an arduous finishing sequence.
Her 'Mania prevalence over Sasha Banks, meanwhile, was a genuine piece of history that WWE has oddly elected to neglect. The match was characteristic of both Belair and Banks' strengths, working several feverish stretches in a real modern 'Mania moment that played out in front of an animated audience.
Faceless feuds doomed her run as SmackDown Women's Champion, however, and the abrupt loss of the strap to Becky Lynch at SummerSlam did nothing to put Bianca Belair across as a major player amidst the paramountcy of The Four Horsewomen. WWE had undone all of the endeavours made by both themselves and Bianca in fabricating a fresh face for the main roster women's division during a time when it perilously needed one, instead being reliant on a talent who was coming off the back of an epic 399-day stint as Raw Women's Champion pre-pregnancy. In turn, Becky's comeback grimaced over once the sentimentality wore off.
Nobody won from this.
