WWE Makes Raw Women's Championship Match Offical For WrestleMania Backlash (2022)

Bianca Belair will have her first Raw Women's Championship defense against Sonya Deville at WrestleMania Backlash on May 8. The bout was made official on WWE's The Bump.

On the April 11th edition of Monday Night Raw, Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair defeated Queen Zelina in a non-Title match. In the wake of her victory, Belair was interrupted by WWE Official Sonya Deville. Congratulating the new titleholder on her monumental WrestleMania victory, the WWE official presented her with an open contract for her title to prove what a fighting champion she is.



When Bianca signed it, however, Deville attacked her from behind and signed the contract to give herself a title match.

Deville most recently lost on TV to Ronda Rousey on the March 4 episode of WWE SmackDown. She has not won a singles match since defeating Mandy Rose on the April 25, 2020 episode of WWE SmackDown.

The event is scheduled to take place on May 8, 2022, at the Dunkin' Donuts Center in Providence, Rhode Island. It will be the second Backlash held under this name after the previous year's event, thus officially renaming the event series as WrestleMania Backlash.
