WWE Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair is just 12 days away from reaching a major milestone if she reaches over 200 days as champion, she will become the first black woman to hold a championship in WWE for that amount of time.
At tonight’s Extreme Rules premium live event, Belair will defend the title against Bayley in a ladder match.
While speaking with BT Sport, Belair was informed of the milestone.
“Oh wow. Ok, even more pressure. I need to hit that milestone. We have to make that happen…I always say we because I never feel like I’m on this journey alone because my fans are with me. We got to make this happen. That’s a huge milestone. I wanna keep breaking those barriers and be that person that shows this is possible. Let’s keep riding with this. So, even more pressure, let’s make it happen because, you know what? I’m going against Bayley, who is the longest-reigning SmackDown Women’s Champion. I don’t like that because she has something that ends in EST, and everything that ends in EST belongs to me, so that’s my goal to be the longest-reigning Raw Women’s Champion. That starts with getting past 200 days. That’s crazy.”
