WWE: Bianca Belair on Naomi Being Jade Cargill’s Mystery Attacker & Fans Thinking She Attacked Cargill, WWE Scrapped Planned Segment from 3/7 SmackDown Show, More News

Bianca Belair Comments on Naomi Admitting to Being Jade Cargill’s Mystery Attacker & Fans Thinking She Attacked Cargill

As noted before, this past Friday’s WWE SmackDown show in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania featured an emotional promo segment between Bianca Belair and Naomi over Naomi admitting to being the mystery person who had attacked Jade Cargill.

A recent episode of ESPN’s First Take show featured Belair as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Belair’s thoughts about her reaction when Naomi revealed her true colors during their segment on WWE’s SmackDown show.

“It’s really rough. This is my first time talking about it since it happened on Friday. I formed a bond with both of these women. Jade and I elevated the women’s tag team division. She was taken out, Naomi stepped in so all that hard work wouldn’t go to waste. We bonded, but come to find out Naomi was the one behind taking Jade out. It’s very heartbreaking for me. I’m more hurt than anything and it’s really tough because I won Elimination Chamber and I’m supposed to be going to WrestleMania and having a big title match. It’s really hard to focus on that. It’s bittersweet for me. I’m trying to be excited about this Elimination Chamber win, but I’m also hurt by the breakdown of the Big Three because we were doing amazing things and really representing. It’s a really heartbreaking time for me right now.”

Belair also gave her thoughts in a video posted on TikTok about fans who had thought she was the one who had attacked Cargill and gave the double middle finger to those people.

“It’s crazy some of yall really thought I would do some [shit] like that.

All the made up evidence and “think pieces” yall wrote on here tainted my whole Elimination Chamber win… felt like I was going crazy and felt guilty for anything I did.

The switch up game is WILLLDDDD

But it’s COOL cause I admit it was looking CRAZYYY!

One day yall will see ima real one… I still love yall… but until then if you still believe I had something to do with it then *cue video*. Lol

Some of the hardest ish l’ve ever had to go thru…. I’m hurt & confused more than anything else. How the F am I suppose to focus on Mania?!!!!”

When he showed up with the no tan [look] at WWE Elimination Chamber, I was just like, okay. Not just no tan, but powder. It was a giveaway to me that something was up. I don’t know. The people are comparing to Hogan’s turn. I’m like, I disagree. There wasn’t stab you heat in the building in Toronto.” (Transcript h/t: Fightful.com)
