During an appearance on The Collection with Brad Gilmore, Bianca Belair discussed her schedule going into WrestleMania 39, pointing out how strenuous her run as WWE RAW Women’s Champion was:
“It was the most rewarding, but exhausting time of my career. Everyone wants to be champion, but a lot of people don’t realize the schedule that comes with that, the pressure that comes with that, the reputation that comes with that. Every time you step out, you want to put on a champion performance. It’s multiple segments on the show, you’re on every single show, every single live event, you’re doing media between the weeks. Everyone else is going home after Raw and SmackDown, you’re going to New York or California to do media, to do press, to do opportunities.
I got to do a lot of amazing things and took the title to so many places when I was champion. From NBA games, NFL games, Kentucky Derby, Kevin Hart, Wild N Out, College Gameday, I did so many amazing things, but I was never home. It also comes with the pressure. I’m someone who is a perfectionist. When it comes to WrestleMania, I put everything into it. I was so sick that WrestleMania. Physically, I was run down and so sick. It’s a lot of pressure that comes with it, but it’s the most rewarding, but exhausting time of the year. You’ll see how exhausting that journey is, but rewarding and trying to balance everything.”
Belair ultimately retained the title at WrestleMania against Asuka before dropping it at Night of Champions in May, with the title being rebranded the WWE Women’s Championship shortly after.
Belair and her husband, Montez Ford, will be featured in an upcoming reality show, Love & WWE: Bianca & Montez, premiering on Hulu on February 2, 2024.
