The EST wants to go back to where it all began for her.
While Belair would never win the NXT Women’s championship, we have seen her involved in the title picture on the main roster. She is the current RAW Women’s Champion and has previously held the SmackDown Women’s Champion.
While speaking to Lucas Charpiot of VL Media, Bianca Belair talked about her time in NXT. Belair made it clear she is interested in going back to NXT to face the current NXT 2.0 stars.
“I have never won the NXT Women’s Championship. It was quite a complicated thing to do at the time. I saw that Natalya was currently there. Natalya is a legend in this medium. It’s great to see her wrestle in NXT 2.0 with these young wrestlers. This isn’t the first time she’s wrestled in NXT. As far as I’m concerned, NXT is where I learned it all.”
I didn’t know anything about wrestling when I arrived. I started at 27 years old with no experience in the ring. NXT is my home. It would be nice to be able to come back there to face these young wrestlers. I’ve always loved Io (Shirai) and had the chance to wrestle her when I was in NXT. I’m seeing Amari (Miller). I love her to death. She’s so passionate. I don’t know if I’ve ever met someone with as much passion as her. I also really appreciate the rivalry between Nikkita Lyons and Lash Legend, they have a cool and fresh thing going on.”

Time will tell if the EST will ever be back in the developmental brand – even for one match.
