Bianca Belair defeated Becky Lynch at WrestleMania 38 to become the RAW Women’s Champion after winning the Women’s Elimination Chamber match back in February to earn her championship opportunity.
With this accomplishment, The EST has now won gold on The Grandest Stage of Them All in consecutive years.
On RAW this week, Sonya Deville demanded that Belair show she was a fighting champion. The EST sign in the middle of the ring was the subject of an open contract issued by a WWE official.

Sonya, on the other hand, attacked Belair after she had signed the document and put her own signature on it to become the new challenger.
Do you agree with @SonyaDevilleWWE about the way she signed that open contract to challenge for the #WWERaw #WomensTitle? pic.twitter.com/7MQLzjKIel

As now the contract is signed and a match is scheduled to happen between Sonya Deville and Bianca Belair we see why this is a match worth seeing
#1 New Opponent for Bianca after Becky
Since losing the Raw women’s championship to Bianca Belair at WrestleMania 38, Becky Lynch hasn’t been seen, therefore Belair needs a new opponent. This opens doors for new girls to step up and Sonya did that which got a great response from the crowd.
#2 Sonya is an authority
Sonya Deville being an authority herself will certainly know tricks that might make her win the title which will be interesting to see.
Seeing that she already misused her power it is compelling to see what more she is willing to do for the title.

#3 WWE is hesitant to revisit the Becky Lynch-Bianca Belair feud so soon
Becky Lynch and Bianca Belair’s WrestleMania match was very well received by the WWE universe. For this particular reason the company doesn’t want to get back to it fast. Also because Becky is injured it is not possible right now. But till then a match between Sonya and Bianca will entertain the audiences.
WrestleMania Backlash had originally scheduled the match in question. It was later dropped from the show, and it will now air on WWE RAW next week.
#4 Drama Quotient Increases
Who doesn’t like to see drama and that too in WWE ! As we already know the misuse of power by Sonya was not appreciated by Adam Pearce.
He didn’t like that she inserted herself into the title picture, but she didn’t pay much attention to his objection.
It would be interesting to see if Deville does face any repercussions for her actions. Still, she seems set to meet The EST of WWE at WrestleMania Backlash in a massive championship clash.
#5 Gives RAW Women’s Division a Boost
Most of the contenders on the roaster be to a name a few Zelina, Becky all have lost to Bianca Belair recently. The number three heel, Carmella, is away on her honeymoon and WWE didn’t exactly build her up as a world-beater before her sabbatical.
In Deville, Belair has an opponent that she has yet to face (at least on the main roster) and the mystery surrounding what a match between these two would look like should intrigue plenty of fans.
What we do know is, however, that Belair and Deville are talented individuals and they will do everything they can to ensure this match succeeds. But how that happens, that remains to be seen.
