Tensions erupted backstage as Bianca Belair was called out by Naomi over an outfit dispute, with their strained relationship taking center stage last week on WWE SmackDown. The incident, which ignited after Naomi voiced her frustration about Belair wearing a special outfit they had purchased together without coordinating, has left fans speculating about a possible rivalry between the former teammates.
Instagram Sparks Conflict Between Bianca Belair and Naomi
Naomi, frustrated by recent events, aired her grievances publicly after SmackDown when Bianca Belair appeared in a striking orange attire in her hometown of Knoxville. It marked Belair’s first appearance since WrestleMania, following her recovery from an extended injury. Naomi revealed through Instagram that the matching orange outfits they once picked out together were meant to be worn as a team, and she expressed disappointment that Belair wore hers while she was absent.
To emphasize her point, Naomi shared a photo of herself holding the same style of orange outfit, highlighting what she felt was a breach of their friendship’s tradition. She made it clear in another story that, in her words, the next time Belair chooses that look, it should be a coordinated effort between them both. The public callout uncertainly lingers over their longstanding tag team history.
Former Tag Partners on the Verge of a Feud
The partnership between Bianca Belair and Naomi began to fracture months ago following a confession by Naomi. She had admitted to being responsible for tossing Jade Cargill into a car windshield during a controversial SmackDown episode back in November, ultimately leading to their separation as a tag team.
The tension escalated last week on SmackDown when Naomi made a surprising revelation—she had visited Belair’s parents‘ house unannounced in an attempt to reach her former partner. This move further soured their relationship, sparking concern on Belair’s end. The EST responded on Instagram by asking whether she should consider a restraining order against Naomi, underscoring the seriousness of their falling out.
Potential Showdown Looms on SmackDown
With Naomi’s recent social media posts and the near-physical altercation between the women on SmackDown, the split between these two stars has drawn intense attention from WWE fans. As Belair approaches full in-ring clearance, there are growing rumors that a one-on-one confrontation could be imminent when she returns to action. Their personal feud, played out in public and on social media, has transformed what was once a strong alliance into one of the blue brand’s most compelling storylines.
With Knoxville, WrestleMania, WWE SmackDown, and both Bianca Belair and Naomi entwined in this developing saga, it remains to be seen whether reconciliation is possible or if the next chapter spells an unmissable in-ring battle between the two former tag team partners.
