Bianca Belair defeats Tiffany Stratton and progresses to semifinal of Queen of the Ring

Bianca Belair and Tiffany Stratton delivered a great match to start the Friday Night Smackdown. The EST of WWE managed to beat the Center of the universe despite being targeted by Tiffany on her knee. The former world champion showed why she is still one of the best female Superstars in the company. In the process, she has progressed to the semifinal of the tournament.

The match was great throughout. The crowd was behind Bianca with chants of "EST". They also supported Tiffany with chants of "Tiffy Time". Both wrestlers put their best foot forward to win the match. Neither of them dominated the match and were equally good for most parts. Tiffany started the proceedings by taking on the tag team champion with her gymnastic moves.

Bianca countered the Center of the universe well with her brute strength. With the progression of the match, Tiffany gained control over Belair. She targeted the injured knee and took advantage. But Bianca fought her way through the pain. She delivered KOD to the former NXT Champion. There was no problem for Belair as she pinned Stratton to claim a win.

Nia Jax wins through disqualification

After the match, Bianca had a backstage interaction with her tag team partner, Jade Cargill. The two talked about a potential faceoff between the two in the semifinal. However, it could not turn into reality, as the Storm could not win the match. In a brief match, there was nothing to conclude. But Nia Jax tried to clear furniture and removed announcer chairs and steel chairs to take out Cargill.

The annihilator probably forgot the rules for the Queen of the Ring. But the same mistake was committed by Jade, who used a steel chair to hit Nia. In the process, she was disqualified due to the usage of the equipment. She was so disappointed after the match and tried to avenge the loss by attacking Jax. The security personnel had to intervene to stop the brawl. Jax will be taking on Belair in the semifinal next week.
