Information has surfaced concerning initial plans for Bianca Belair’s appearance on the May 30 edition of WWE SmackDown, which emanated from her hometown of Knoxville, Tennessee.
WrestleVotes reported prior to the Friday broadcast that Belair was anticipated to have a “big time entrance.” Further details from WrestleVotes, via Twitter, indicated that as of 6 PM on the night of the event, the plan involved Belair making her entrance accompanied by the University of Tennessee marching band.
This specific entrance featuring the marching band did not materialize during the show. Instead, Belair entered to her customary theme music before a confrontation with Naomi.

Belair has previously had a similar special entrance; at WrestleMania 38 in 2022, she was accompanied to the ring by the Texas Southern University marching band for her Raw Women’s Championship match against Becky Lynch.
The Money in the Bank event is scheduled for June 7. Additionally, the final qualifying match for the men’s Money in the Bank ladder match is slated for the June 2 episode of WWE RAW, featuring CM Punk, AJ Styles, and El Grande Americano.
