In an unexpected and shocking moment on WWE Friday Night SmackDown, Bianca Belair — the EST of WWE — blindsided her longtime friend and fellow fan favorite, Naomi, in a ruthless backstage attack that has the entire WWE Universe asking one question: Why, Bianca, why?!
The night started off normally, with Naomi scheduled to appear in a backstage interview to talk about her recent momentum and rumored shot at the WWE Women’s Championship. But things took a dark turn when, moments before the segment was to air live, WWE cameras caught chaotic scenes backstage: Naomi lying on the floor, clutching her ribs, surrounded by officials and medical personnel.
Initial confusion soon turned into jaw-dropping disbelief when exclusive footage aired on WWE’s digital platforms, revealing Bianca Belair launching a sneak attack from behind, smashing Naomi into a production crate and delivering a vicious K.O.D. onto the concrete floor.
What could have possibly driven Bianca to such an act of betrayal?
The two superstars have long been portrayed as close allies — powerful, proud, trailblazing Black women who uplift each other and the women’s division. But sources now say tension has been brewing beneath the surface for weeks. Reports from backstage insiders suggest that Bianca has been quietly frustrated over what she sees as favoritism toward Naomi in recent title discussions.
“She’s always smiling and glowing,” Bianca was heard saying in a heated backstage conversation last week. “But I’ve been carrying this division for years. And now she gets the spotlight handed to her?”
While Bianca has yet to make an official statement, she posted a cryptic message on social media just minutes after the attack:
“Sometimes to stay the EST, you gotta remind them who runs it. #NoMoreMissNiceEST”
Naomi, on the other hand, is reportedly recovering but suffered significant bruising and possible rib damage. WWE medical staff have not cleared her for competition, and her future title opportunity is now in jeopardy.
Fans are divided — while some are calling Bianca’s attack the ultimate act of jealousy and betrayal, others believe this could be the beginning of a long-awaited heel turn for Belair, who many argue has been “too good for too long.”
Rumors are swirling that this will all lead to a major one-on-one clash between Naomi and Bianca Belair at SummerSlam, with personal pride, friendship, and possibly a championship opportunity on the line. Some even believe Bianca could be forming a new faction — one focused less on respect and more on dominance and revenge.
WWE has promised an official statement from Bianca Belair next week on Raw, but one thing is certain: the EST is no longer playing games, and Naomi never saw it coming.
Stay tuned, because in WWE — loyalty is rare, betrayal is real, and
revenge is everything.
