Bianca Belair explained the importance of winning the “NXT” Women’s title, despite her significant achievements on WWE’s main roster.

“That’s [NXT] where the grind is like real and you’re trying to show like I belong here and that’s like the foundation of everything,” said Belair. “So to leave ‘NXT’ without the title, even though you go and, you know, I was able to, like Becky, main event at WrestleMania, I’ve been three-time champion, I’ve done historic matches on the main roster. [But] it’s still in the back of your mind, where you’re just like, but I never got that back then. For me, that ‘NXT’ title was like validation for me when I was in ‘NXT’ and I never understood like, ‘Why can’t I accomplish this and get this title because if I can’t do this here, how can I do things on the main roster?'”

Becky Lynch returned to “NXT” in September to face then “NXT” Women’s Champion, Tiffany Stratton. She won the match and began her first reign as “NXT” Women’s Champion, lasting 42 days, before losing it to her compatriot, Lyra Valkyria.

In her four-year spell on “NXT,” Belair had the opportunity to win the aforementioned title a few times but lost to the likes of Rhea Ripley and Shayna Baszler. But, “The EST of WWE” has had greater success on the main roster, with three title reigns.
