The battle for supremacy in SmackDown women’s division continued this past week, with Asuka defending her WWE Women’s Championship title in a grudge match against her old foe, Bianca Belair. The epic showdown saw Charlotte Flair and Damage CTRL’s Bayley and Iyo Sky lurking for their respective chances to impede in the brawl. Flair, however, succeeded in her motive, costing Belair the win over Asuka via a spear. However, this is not the only misery Belair bore during last night’s show.
She had to undergo a massive botch during her magical entry to the ring as well and WWE Universe was too punctilious to miss out on it.
The trio (Flair, Asuka, and Belair) will meet in a Triple Threat match for the title at SummerSlam 2023.

Bianca Belair suffered a hilarious botch on WWE SmackDown tonight
Rhea Ripley has been ruling the WWE Women’s division for some time now. Mami’s dominance soared high in recent times with three back-to-back wins in WWE’s big PLEs. The Judgement Day member has a strong presence in almost all WWE shows and remains in the headlines even if she isn’t involved in the show. The same thing happened during Belair’s entrance on SmackDown.
On the recent edition of SmackDown The Eradicator has been seen taking over Bianca Belair’s entrance through a hilarious botch. WWE made a blunder by displaying Ripley’s entrance tron instead of the one that belongs to Belair while she was approaching the ring for her title match against Asuka.
Eagle-eyed fans spotted Rhea Ripley’s signature ‘Brutality’ popping up on the giant screen before Belair’s pink entrance video.

The Nightmare and The EST of WWE have a well-documented history of facing each other in the ring, with their first-ever single outing taking place on the September 23, 2017, edition of NXT. But Mami sneaking into her entrance wasn’t definitely something that sat well with the 34-year-old.
That said, Belair isn’t the only one who suffered an embarrassing botch due to Ripley in recent times. WWE made a similar mistake during Money in The Bank earlier this month, involving Bayley.
Recent Money in The Bank botch also had something to do with Rhea Ripley
Money in The Bank unpacked a host of drama, including a twisting botch by the in-ring announcer Samantha Irvin. Bayley, 34, received a massive blow as her own stablemate ISO SKY managed to unhook the briefcase even after a desperate attempt by the former to push her off the ladder once.
However, prior to that, Irvin destroyed her entrance, addressing Bayley as a Judgement Day member instead of Damage CTRL. It looked like a mere slip of the tongue as she blamed it on the wily ways of Mami. This even led to an exchange on Twitter between Bayley and Ripley.

While there is still no word on that stance, that botch was definitely more intense than tonight’s. Ripley might have a good laugh over WWE’s botch during Bianca Belair’s entrance tonight. As for Belair, we will have to see how she reacts and prepares to regain the Women’s title.
