“Look at the women who I’ve been in the ring with and what they’ve done for me,” Belair said. “It was my turn to give back.”
Belair went on to make it clear that she wanted to lift others up throughout her reign, including her final match as the champion. She stated that Asuka is pushing the division forward and expressed her hope that she moved it in the right direction.
“I want to elevate people, I want to do for others what they’ve done for me,” Belair said. “A star like Asuka is propelling the whole division forward. I hope my accomplishments helped that move in the right direction. She is extremely talented and has been doing this a lot longer than me, and I was honored to wrestle her in that match.”
After Asuka won the title, she received the new WWE Women’s Championship. Likewise, Triple H presented SmackDown Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley with the Women’s World Championship.
