In what fans are calling one of the **most chaotic matches in recent WWE history**, Bianca Belair has found herself at the center of backlash after **a disastrous performance as guest referee** during the highly anticipated showdown between Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky. The match, which aired on Monday Night Raw, was supposed to be a showcase of elite talent—but instead, it turned into an unpredictable disaster that left fans, commentators, and even fellow wrestlers completely stunned.
The drama began the moment Bianca Belair stepped into the ring wearing the referee stripes—a rare role for the former Women’s Champion. WWE had hyped the match heavily, with Bianca cast as the “impartial” special guest referee to ensure a fair fight between two of the company’s fiercest competitors. But as soon as the bell rang, it became clear: **this wasn’t going to end well.**
Throughout the match, **Bianca was visibly out of sync**—missing pin counts, turning her back during illegal moves, and even hesitating during key moments. Fans watched in disbelief as she allowed interference from ringside and failed to maintain control of the ring. Social media erupted, with hashtags like **#BiancaBotchesAgain, #WorstRefEver, and #WWEChaos** trending within minutes. Many viewers accused her of favoring one side, while others simply called the performance “amateur hour.”
What made matters worse was the outcome of the match itself. As Iyo Sky attempted a high-risk maneuver from the top rope, Rhea Ripley countered with a brutal riptide—**but Bianca hesitated on the count**, creating just enough confusion for Iyo’s faction, Damage CTRL, to interfere. A full-on brawl broke out in the ring, and Bianca was seen stepping back, seemingly unsure of how to regain control. Security and additional referees had to rush in to separate the chaos as the crowd booed loudly.
Critics have been quick to point out that Bianca Belair’s referee role **may have done more harm than good**—not just to the match, but to her reputation. While she has long been celebrated for her athleticism and charisma, this guest appearance has opened the door to questions about her current creative direction in WWE. Was this a setup for a future feud? A storyline twist gone wrong? Or simply a bad booking decision?
Insiders say WWE had hoped to use this referee angle to **build tension between Bianca and the top-tier women’s roster**, potentially leading to a triple-threat storyline heading into the next major pay-per-view. However, with fan reactions being overwhelmingly negative, the creative team may be forced to pivot. Some are even speculating that Bianca’s credibility as a main-event talent could take a hit unless she addresses the fallout in an upcoming promo or segment.
For now, one thing is certain: **Bianca Belair’s stint as a WWE referee will not be remembered fondly.** Whether this was a planned heel turn, a booking misfire, or just a rough night at the office, the WWE Universe is buzzing—and not in a good way. As the company moves forward with its top-tier women’s storylines, all eyes will be on Bianca to see how she bounces back from this chaotic and highly criticized moment.
