Bianca Belair came out to make the save for Naomi on this past Friday’s SmackDown episode. The numbers game continued to be too much from Damage CTRL, but Belair did what she could to help Naomi.
During SmackDown LowDown, Belair explained why she helped Naomi who she was so against for sticking her neck out for Bayley the week before.
“You know, after talking to Naomi, I realized I just gotta let that hurt go. Let’s make one thing very clear, I did not run out there for Bayley. I ran out there for Naomi because she led with her heart, she led with her feelings, and she ended up in that mess,” said Bianca. “Watching her out there getting beat up by Damage CTRL, getting misted, trying to fight Damage CTRL all by herself, I saw myself in her. I remembered how I felt for 2 years trying to fight Damage CTRL by myself and wishing there was somebody there to help me. So here I am, I couldn’t leave my sis hanging, and we’re back in it with Damage CTRL.”
Further explanation from Belair on an Instagram shows that she will stick by Naomi’s side because she knows what it felt like being alone the past two years.
“I’ve been here fighting for my life for 2 years against them ALONE. Consistently… Constantly ALONE and anyone who tried to help is gone now,”she wrote in her story. “Charlotte gone w/ injury. Shotzi gone w/ injury. Becky gone off fighting her own battle. Just felt like I was constantly getting left to do it on my own and it gets exhausting and overwhelming.
“Then, Bayley gets jumped out of her own group that she created and now everyone feels sorry for her and wants to help take down Damage CTRL,” continues Bianca. “Can’t lie, I was hesitant to trust this process again… but I couldn’t leave Naomi hanging or blame her for trying to do what I myself did for 2+ years.”
