Bianca Belair has ascended as one of the top players of the WWE women’s division in four years on the main roster. During this time, she has won countless championships, and accolades and also main evented their premier show, WrestleMania.
Bianca Belair’s credibility as an in-ring competitor was further cemented on the first night of the WWE Draft 2024 when she was unveiled as the #1 overall pick of the draft. Here are 3 possible reasons the EST of WWE was selected as the first pick of the WWE Draft:
1. History-making feat for the New Era
As it is known, WWE has ushered into a new era with WWE CCO Triple H at the helm of the corporate structure.

The regime has already garnered huge traction for the company and would have wanted to make further history in regard to the Women’s Evolution with Bianca Belair as the #1 draft pick, making her the third female after Kelly Kelly in 2010 and Becky Lynch in 2019.
2. Bringing Bianca Belair back into the main event fold
Despite being one of the most accomplished WWE superstars of this generation, Bianca Belair has been out of the main event and title picture for an extended period. Being revealed as the #1 of the WWE Draft, would bring more eyes back to the EST and insert her back into the top scene of WWE’s women’s division and led to another possible championship run for Bianca Belair.
3. Continuing the alliance with Jade Cargill
In recent memory, Bianca Belair has been aligned with The Storm of WWE, Jade Cargill. WWE’s newest signee has made a huge impact upon her arrival to the global juggernaut.

With the duo set to challenge for the WWE Women’s tag team titles at WWE Backlash France, the company would possibly want to continue their alliance by keeping them both on the blue brand and also establish Jade Cargill as a top attraction for WWE with Bianca’s star power.
