8 Times WWE Stars Couldn't Hide Their Boo-Boo Face

2. Bianca Belair

Bianca Belair had held the WWE Raw Women's Championship for well over a year before she did the honours for Asuka at Night Of Champions 2023, and didn't look all that thrilled to be saying goodbye to it once and for all just a month after defeating the 'Empress Of Tomorrow' at WrestleMania 39 a few weeks earlier.

Perhaps she saw the last 'Show Of Shows' as the only major hurdle in turning a long reign into a Roman-style reign? She was 420 days deep into the run having dethroned Becky Lynch at WrestleMania 38 over a year earlier, with her first title win coming in the main event of WrestleMania 37 back in 2021. Maybe 'The Grandest Stage' being such a key destination in her career made the Jeddah B-Show feel smaller time in contrast, but something took the spring out of her step as she made her trademark skipping, hair-twirling entrance for the bout. There was a lot less of both, and missing too was the smile that lit up arenas and stadiums the world over during 'The EST's iconic run.

For contrast, take a look at her entrance for what turned out to be a hugely controversial loss to the returning Becky Lynch at SummerSlam 2021. Belair has to obscure that she's losing the belt and the impending surprise comeback for 'The Man', and she makes it appear as though she's not even aware intended opponent Sasha Banks is set to miss the bout. She's the sharpest and shrewdest, but it was possible to see just about see through the act on what would go on to be one of her last nights (as of 2026) holding gold.
