Belair ranked #23 in 2020’s rankings, marking a sharp increase in ranking. Given the year she had, it’s no surprise — after winning the 2021 Royal Rumble after lasting over 50 minutes, Belair won the SmackDown Women’s Championship in the main event of WrestleMania 37 Night 1, and held onto it until SummerSlam.
The “EST of WWE” will compete today for the SmackDown Women’s Championship in a triple threat match against champion Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks at Crown Jewel.
