Last week’s WWE SmackDown featured an “Ultimate Athlete Obstacle Course Challenge” between the two rivals. Belair won the athletic competition, prompting Bayley to attack her at ringside.
Bayley and Belair were the first two SmackDown women to be revealed as entrants in Sunday’s WWE Women’s Royal Rumble. As of the time of writing, only 12 female Superstars have been announced for the 30-woman match.
In 2020, Belair eliminated eight women during her 35-minute appearance in the WWE Royal Rumble match. Along with Shayna Baszler, she holds the record for the most eliminations in a single WWE Women’s Royal Rumble.
