Doudrop: Bianca Belair And I Were Originally Scheduled To Go Five Minutes, Ended With Three Segments

Things change quickly in WWE and sometimes, time gets added instead of being cut.

Doudrop has been on WWE Raw since June 2021, acting as Eva Marie’s protege before breaking off on her own. Fans have heard plenty of stories and reports of the hectic nature of WWE and how things can change on a whim.

For Doudrop, she has learned to get comfortable in the changing nature of WWE.

“It’s great. I’m having the best time, I love it,” Doudrop told Taylor Wilde on Wilde On about being on WWE Raw. “It gets stressful because it’s very manic, everything changes, don’t get too comfortable with any one thing because it’s going to change six times before the show is on. You just go with the flow, roll with the punches, keep it moving and don’t be upset with anything because it’s not personal. I think a lot of people get upset with things happening and it’s like…it’s a TV show. You’re a character on a TV show and sometimes characters on TV shows have to be embarrassed. It’s not real. If you want to be upset and go outside and have a real fight, we can talk about it, I’m pretty sure you’re going to lose. We put on sparkle and pretend fight, don’t be so serious. It’s supposed to be fun. It is difficult and can be stressful so don’t make it more so. You can never get comfortable, but you also have to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. Whatever I get, I make it work to the best of my ability. We’re here for a good time, not a long time, so let’s make it the best it can be.”

Over the past month, Doudrop has been feuding with Bianca Belair with the two women wrestling a series of singles matches on WWE Raw.

While Doudrop didn’t give the date of the bout, she revealed that one of the matches between the two women was originally scheduled to go five minutes, but ended up being changed to go three segments just hours before the show.

“I knew I was having a match with Bianca and the whole segment was supposed to be five minutes. I was like, ‘Okay, I’m going to make it the best five minutes that I can.’ I told the universe that this was going to be the best match I’ve had and I was going to blow Vince’s mind and he was going to love it. Get to the venue, things haven’t been finished up and things are going on and not truly finalized. Then, it’s maybe six o’clock, and it’s ‘Hey, you know how you had five minutes? Well, it’s changed and now you have three segments.’ At first I was panicked because we have an hour until the show starts, I’m not even in gear. I saw it as a problem, ‘panic, panic, panic.’ Then it was, ‘You know, I asked for this. This is my opportunity to have a great match and have the best match I can have.’ As soon as I changed my mindset, we went out there and had a banger. Bossman [Vince McMahon] was very pleased,” she said.

Though Doudrop couldn’t best Bianca in singles competition, she did win a triple threat match on WWE Raw that featured Belair and Liv Morgan to earn a shot at Becky Lynch and the Raw Women’s Championship at WWE Royal Rumble.
