10 Most Unexpected WWE Burials Ever

Bianca Belair is one of the most charismatic and talented wrestlers of the modern era. She was a phenom in NXT, has been a game-changing athlete since hitting the main roster, and her presence in WWE has been massively missed since she suffered a horrific finger injury at WrestleMania 41.

Belair headlined night one of WrestleMania 37 with Sasha Banks in a stunning bout in which she dethroned Sasha to win the SmackDown Women's Championship. This was Bianca's first title in WWE, and she carried it with the flair and integrity fans expected (including an underrated Hell in a Cell war against Bayley).

The return of Becky Lynch after having her first child was obviously a big deal. She arrived at SummerSlam 2021 unannounced, took out Belair's scheduled opponent, Carmella, and challenged the champion on the spot. So far, so exciting. Lynch then demolished Belair in less than 30 seconds to claim the title at WWE's second biggest show of the year.

Given Bianca's popularity and how respected she was amongst fans, this was a shocking occurrence that made her look like a fool. She would get revenge on Lynch at the next year's SummerSlam, and it went on to be a footnote in Bianca's career. Nevertheless, this tragic booking would have derailed a lesser superstar.
