During the same interview, The EST of WWE assured that she and Jade Cargill are going to put an end to Damage CTRL and the Kabuki Warriors once and for all at the Backlash Premium Live Event.
“Doesn’t that sound nice? Bianca Belair, Jade Cargill in the ring together on the same team. Who gonna stop us? Okay… Kabuki Warriors? I’ve been fighting for my life for two plus years with the Kabuki Warriors. I done had a lot of amazing women fight alongside me. But I never had somebody like Jade Cargill. So, she is the best person to help me end it once and for all with Damage CTRL. And I’m gonna do that. We’re gonna do that at Backlash. Those tag team titles are coming with us. I’ve touched a lot of gold, but I’ve never touched those Tag Team Titles. So, we’re gonna make some more history. We’re gonna keep going up.”
Belair also shared that she wishes to see Cargill drafted to the Blue Brand as well.
“There is. That’s what’s so exciting. But also nerve-wracking about the draft. There’s so many possibilities, I really do hope that Jade gets drafted to SmackDown. Because, everybody knows how much power that we have. And if she doesn’t, that’s gonna be the shortest lived tag team. But we are gonna go into the draft, out of the draft as Tag Team Champions. But we just have to see what happens. I really hope that she gets drafted to SmackDown because everybody knows the power that we have. So let’s just… Let’s just manifest that,” Bianca Belair said.
