5 opponents Bianca Belair should feud with on RAW

"The EST of WWE" Bianca Belair has had an incredible year. She won the Women's Royal Rumble match in January and main-evented WrestleMania with Sasha Banks in April. Belair has also been one of SmackDown's main players for the majority of the year.

Bianca Belair now finds herself drafted to Monday Night RAW with new opportunities and opponents in sight. She was drafted to the red brand during the 2021 WWE Draft.

That being said, let's take a look at five opponents Bianca Belair should feud with on Monday Night RAW.

#5. Bianca Belair should feud with Becky Lynch

It is a rivalry that has captured the attention of the WWE Universe. Ever since Becky Lynch made her return to SummerSlam, beating Bianca within a matter of seconds, it has been captivating. Becky not only defeated Belair with ease, she also took the SmackDown Women's Championship from her.

Surprisingly, Lynch has also been drafted to RAW, even though she is SmackDown Women's Champion. It is likely she will lose her title at the upcoming Crown Jewel pay-per-view event. She faces Bianca Belair and SmackDown's Sasha Banks in a Triple Threat match.

"The Man" spoke about her return to SummerSlam and defeating Bianca Belair with the New York Daily News:

"Do you want me to come back and toy with Bianca and give her more of a chance to look like she’s got an opportunity? Or would I come back, knowing that I haven’t done this in a while, and be smart about it and blindside her? I just did what an intelligent person would do. If you haven’t been wrestling in a long time, then you’ve been strategizing," Becky Lynch said (h/t WrestleTalk)

If Sasha was to capture the title and take it back to SmackDown, it would leave the door wide open for Bianca and Becky to settle their war. Their feud immediately became personal following SummerSlam and their one-on-one match at Extreme Rules didn't see a conclusive winner.

Although Bianca was the star of SmackDown and one of the most popular stars in. She and Becky can steal the show each and every week to enhance their feud. Their rivalry deserves a big blow-off match. With the Survivor Series pay-per-view looming, it seems like the perfect setting in front of a rabid WWE Universe in Brooklyn.

Bianca has said in the past on WWE Talking Smack that "The Man" can't hang with her. Becky will always have the SummerSlam win in her pocket to remind Belair. This is a score that needs settling and a match where all the talking needs to be settled inside the squared circle.

#4. Bianca Belair should feud with Liv Morgan

Not only did Bianca Belair get drafted to RAW in the 2021 WWE Draft, Liv Morgan also found herself switching brands. Liv had something of a revival on SmackDown this year, and because of this the WWE Universe has started to rally behind her.

A feud between Bianca and Liv would certainly have a different dynamic. Maybe Liv can make it known that she's earned the WWE Universe's support, and that Bianca should fall back in line. Liv has even mentioned in the past that she saw Belair take her first bump when she signed with WWE. Maybe she feels somewhat aggrieved that Bianca soared to the top of WWE and she didn't.

Morgan has undoubtedly gotten better and better every time she steps in the ring. A match with Bianca would steal any show and would deserve plenty of time to tell a story in the ring. Bianca Belair will no doubt elevate Liv Morgan a little more by entering a feud with her.

#3. Bianca Belair should feud with Nia Jax

The Irresitable Force of WWE would prove a very stern test for the EST of WWE. Nia Jax's size, strength and athleticism would force Bianca Belair to dig deep if the two were to collide one-on-one.

As it stands, Jax has been drafted to RAW but was brutally attacked by her now-former tag team partner, Shayna Baszler. Jax could return with a vengeance and set her sights on the newest member of the Monday Night RAW roster to send a clear message to Shayna and the roster.

In a twist, a confident Bianca could set her sights on Nia Jax to prove she is the strongEST and earn her place on RAW.

There is also a backstory that could be used in their feud. According to Belair, in an interview with FOX, Nia Jax took her under her wing when she first joined WWE. This could ignite a personal rivalry between the two:

"You know, she kind of like — she didn't hold my hand throughout the process. But she really just made sure [and] let me know, 'I see something in you. I see that you have it, just make sure you're this, this and this.' Kind of guiding me along the way." Bianca Belair said.

There are certainly plenty of possibilities with this one, and whichever path WWE chooses will no doubt entertain the WWE Universe.

#2. Bianca Belair should feud with Alexa Bliss

Bianca Belair vs. Alexa Bliss? Yes please. Ever since Alexa Bliss met The Fiend, her persona in WWE has changed. She came under the spell of The Fiend and adopted his supernatural powers, which made her dangerous. After WrestleMania 37, she ventured through WWE on her own and introduced her doll, Lilly.

Sadly, at Extreme Rules in September 2021 the RAW Women's Champion Charlotte destroyed Lilly, which sent Alexa Bliss into hysterics. She was broken by Charlotte's actions. At some point Bliss is going to return. Whether she returns with her supernatural gimmick, or goes back to being unbroken, remains to be seen.

Whichever version Bianca gets, she'll have to make sure she's at the top of her game. It won't take Bliss long to find her number if she shows any weakness.

We'd love to see Bianca Belair and Alexa Bliss lock it up in the ring and feud on RAW. These two women are by far two of the best of the last decade. They have never faced each other one-on-one in WWE, so it is about time WWE put that right.

#1. Bianca Belair should feud with Rhea Ripley

Bianca Belair and Rhea Ripley have crossed paths a number of times during their time on NXT. Their last one-on-one televised match came at NXT TakeOver: Portland where Rhea Ripley retained her NXT Women's Championship.

The last time the pair crossed paths was in the 2021 Women's Royal Rumble. Bianca Belair eliminated Rhea Ripley last to win the match and go onto main-event WrestleMania. We are long overdue for a feud between "The Nightmare" and "The EST of WWE" on the main roster.

Now that the two superstars are on Monday Night RAW, there's every chance we will see them cross paths. Rhea could still be bitter that Bianca won the Royal Rumble earlier this year and vow not to let it happen again.

The pair had already stole the show at NXT TakeOver: Portland. Let's see what they can do now with the eyes of the WWE Universe around the world watching them. We'll certainly be in for a treat.
