John Cena: Bianca Belair reveals his supportive words after 26-second SummerSlam loss

Bianca Belair has revealed the supportive words she received from John Cena after her loss to Becky Lynch at SummerSlam last year.

At SummerSlam 2021, Becky Lynch returned to the company to beat Bianca Belair for the SmackDown Women’s Championship.

The return wasn’t met well, which is mainly down to the fact that WWE had Belair lose to Becky Lynch in a match that lasted just 26 seconds.

In the interview, Belair explained that she spoke to John Cena once she got backstage at the end of the match, with Cena set to wrestle later on in the show.

The EST of WWE explained that Cena offered her a lot of great advice after she lost in just 30-seconds in one of the biggest matches of her career:

Belair explains that Cena told her that she could use the setback of losing in such quick fashion to “propel” her even higher up the card.

“But for me, I took it as you can use this as an opportunity to show who you are without that title. I’m still the EST of WWE and I’m still going to go out
