Bianca Belair proved that she is the EST of WWE.
Bianca Belair is the new SmackDown Women's Champion, defeating Sasha Banks in the main event of night one of WrestleMania 37.
After Banks used Belair's hair against her to counter multiple moves, Belair used her hair as a weapon, whipping it into Banks' stomach. After a series of counters between the two women, Belair hit the Kiss of Death to pick up the victory.

Just after the bell rang and before the two women locked up, the moment sunk in for both women, who couldn't help but soak in the history they were making as the first Black women to headline WrestleMania.
