Bayley Tells Bianca Belair She Got Lucky At WrestleMania

Former SmackDown Women's Champion Bayley has let current champ Bianca Belair know she thinks she got lucky at WrestleMania. Belair and Sasha Banks put on an impressive show at the recent PPV, with Belair coming out on top.

As it turns out, though, Bayley will be her first challenger, not Banks. Bayley will have an opportunity to reclaim the belt at Backlash on May 16. And, speaking during Talking Smack on Friday night, she claimed to still be at the top of the Women's division, also stating that Bianca is going through a honeymoon phase that's about to be over.

“Alright, she got lucky - you know what? This little honeymoon phase of hers? It’s done for!” she declared (H/T Wrestling Inc.). “I’m back! She had her little luck in the Royal Rumble. She had a lot of luck at WrestleMania.

"You know how many times I’ve beaten Sasha Banks? You don’t see me with balloons everywhere. Dancing with my husband, get a life! This is our profession. You’re not at home, sister. And now you’re going to walk back into the ring with Bayley.”

There's A Bit Of Respect

Bayley did admit she has some respect for Belair but reckons the latter isn't on her level quite yet.

“This is the only time I will say this to you, Bianca, I do have some respect for you,” she admitted. “Which is why I want to have this match with you. I saw everything you can do at WrestleMania. I’ve been in the ring with you. I’ve been in a freaking obstacle course with you. I saw what you did at the Royal Rumble.

“I’ve seen what you did at NXT. I know everything about you, Bianca, but it doesn’t scare me because what you have done does not top what I have done, what I have built. And the way I am seen in this women’s division and professional wrestling. You are just a smidge. You’ve got a long way to go, sister, and you’re not going through me.”
