RAW Women’s Champion Bianca Belair has opened up about competing at WrestleMania 38 with one good eye after a botched move during the bout.

At WrestleMania 38 (Night One), Belair faced Becky Lynch who missed a Molly-Go-Round and struck Belair in the eye socket with her boot.

Speaking on The Bump, Belair said:

“I felt that right away. It started swelling right away and I was like, ‘ I’m going to have to finish this match with one eye. How am I going to do this?’ I mean, she put me through it that whole, entire match. I was like, ‘Is this the last straw?’ But I just had to push through. I had to push through the whole match. This is going to make me or this is going to break me. I’m either going to be holding the title with one eye or I’m going to be backstage crying with one eye. So I had to push through.”

Belair would push through to defeat Lynch, starting her first reign as RAW Women’s Champion.
