After losing the SummerSlam title in 2021, WWE star Bianca Belair is ready for redemption.
"SummerSlam was one of the lowest points of my career," the 33-year-old professional wrestler tells PEOPLE exclusively. "Losing the title [in] 26 seconds in front of all of your fans."
Belair, a C4 Energy Drink partner, will be determined to win this Saturday when she goes head to head with Becky Lynch at 2022 SummerSlam in Nashville, Tennessee.
"It's my redemption story," she says.
The wrestling star lost her crown last year to Lynch, but she's working on climbing her way back. Belair beat Lynch a few months ago to win the Raw Women's Championship at WrestleMania in Dallas, Texas, and hopes to keep up her winning ways this weekend.

After dealing with the painful loss, the Tennessee native makes it clear she has one thing in mind as she performs in her home state this weekend.
"My goal is to walk out as champion this time and be the person that gets to write the final chapter in this book," Belair shares. "[I want to] close this SummerSlam book and walk out on top as Raw Women's champion."
Belair has a lot of support behind her from fellow WWE pro and husband of four years, Montez Ford.
"I'm blessed to do what I love with the person that I love," Belair says, smiling. "He's the person there that, when I lose the title in 26 seconds at SummerSlam, after I come through that curtain, he's the person I get to lean on."

The duo have even been pushing each other in the gym consistently to get ready for this weekend's big fight, and Belair says she's almost where she needs to be.

"Of course, my husband and I be going extra high in the ring!" Belair says of the couple's workouts. "I've been trying to gain weight and gain muscle. That's really my main goal right now."
The WWE star says she also working on keeping her nutrition on point in training and on Saturday.
"Being an athlete, we're very particular about what we put in our bodies," Belair says. "C4 Energy ... keeps my brain focused. I feel like I have a little bit of experience under my belt. So I'm when I step in the ring, I want the girl and the woman that's in the ring across me to be playing my game and not me playing her game."
