Bianca Belairs big return to WWE SmackDown on May 30 had fans expecting a grand spectacleespecially with the show taking place in her hometown of Knoxville, Tennessee. But one major detail was noticeably absent: the University of Tennessee marching band.
According to WrestleVotes, Belair was supposed to make her entrance backed by the full marching band from her alma mater. Yeah, so as of 6pm Bianca was set to enter with the University of Tennessee marching band. Idk what happened between 6pm and show time, nor do I care. They can change things as they please and they love to do just that.
Belair still got a massive reaction when she opened the show, wearing a finger brace and addressing her injury from WrestleMania 41. She made it clear shes not 100% yet, but shes dead set on proving once again why shes the EST of WWE.
Things got heated quickly when Naomi interrupted her segment. Naomi revealed she had broken into Belairs parents home earlier in the day and casually let herself in. Belair didnt hold back, warning Naomi, If you ever step foot in my familys house again, what Jade Cargill did to you at WrestleMania will look like nothing. Naomi fired back, saying itd be a bad look if both Belair and her mother ended up in wheelchairs.
The segment escalated as Jade Cargill entered and dropped Naomi with a pump kick. Belair and Cargill shared a tense moment before Nia Jax entered to kick off the womens Money in the Bank qualifier.
Even with the last-minute change to Belairs entrance, her return set the tone for the rest of the showbut the scrapped marching band entrance left fans questioning WWEs call that read about it online.
