Top WWE Superstar remembered her historic match with Mercedes Mone

At WrestleMania 37 in 2021, Mercedes Mone defended her SmackDown women's title against top WWE Superstar Bianca Belair in the Night 1 main event. It was a history-making match as it was the first-ever Mania main-evented by two black women.

Speaking on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Bianca Belair recalled her WrestleMania 37 match with the erstwhile Sasha Banks and revealed how Sasha took good care of her in the bout:

"Man, that was a crazy WrestleMania. For one it was like my rookie year. And not only am I at WrestleMania, I'm main eventing WrestleMania. It was a lot of pressure but Sasha took such good care of me. I felt so comfortable in the match with her. But that was a special one."

Bianca also disclosed that she was nervous before heading into Mania 37's Night 1 main event. Only time will tell if Mercedes and Bianca will share the ring ever again.
