Without question, the EST of WWE, Bianca Belair, is one of the top champions in WWE. She holds the second-longest reign as Raw Women’s Champion at 278 days (and counting). All things considered, Belair is the standard in the women’s division on Raw. That being said, how long will she hold onto the title? One fan asked this question, and I’ll answer it. Without further ado, let’s explore some superstars who are likely to end the title reign of Belair.
Three Superstars who could defeat the EST of WWE
Who do you think should get the next reign after Bianca and when do you think they should make the change?

Charlotte Flair
Before I go on, I’m fully aware that Charlotte Flair just defeated Ronda Rousey to win the SmackDown Women’s Championship. I strongly feel that Belair vs. Flair should happen at WrestleMania 39. The problem is this thing called the Royal Rumble premium live event happening at the end of January.
Whether you love to hate me, hate to love me… Thank you @wwe Universe. I appreciate the warm welcome back. I missed you guys so much. I can’t wait to give you my blood, sweat & tears. New era. New victims. The People’s Queen! Happy New Year! 🥂 pic.twitter.com/fvdJxYbpq7

It’s not unprecedented to have a Champion vs. Champion match but the concern is how we get there. Belair or Flair may work double duty at WrestleMania to make it a reality. The EST has defeated the three other members of the Four Horsewomen except for Flair. Having them face off on the biggest stage feels right to me.
Becky Lynch
Plain and simple, why not run it back with Becky Lynch and Belair? One of the best matches of 2022 was at last year’s WrestleMania when Belair defeated Lynch. However, fans like me may have to wait to see these go at it.
Rhea Ripley
I noted in my final piece of 2022 that Rhea Ripley is the best part of Judgement Day. She elevated herself in a major way. I’d love to see her with a championship in 2023. There’s a strong chance she wins the Royal Rumble and faces Belair in April for the Raw’s Women’s Championship.
