During her recent interview on the “SHAK Wrestling” podcast, WWE star Bianca Belair looked back on her initial experience in the WWE main roster. She shared the learnings she garnered from veteran wrestlers such as Becky Lynch, Bayley, and Asuka.
Belair confided, “When I first came onto the main roster, I was thrown into things very quickly. I was winning the Royal Rumble and main eventing WrestleMania my first year I was here. I was used to being led. My first WrestleMania, I’m in the ring with a vet like Sasha, then I’m in the ring with someone like Becky Lynch, and then Bayley and Asuka. I wanted to soak up and absorb as much as I could from them. I put myself in a position to do that.”
Bianca’s journey continued, “I remember when I became RAW Women’s Champion, and I was like, ‘Oh, okay. I’m not in the ring with them anymore. I have to kind of lead.’ I got a little bit uncomfortable because I was so used to being safe. I felt safe with them in the ring. Not in a sense of physical, but I knew we were going to have a great match. I have great chemistry with them, they’re leading me, I’m good. The only part I was uncomfortable with was that I’m now in this new role where I’m now looked at as the vet a little bit, but I felt like I was still learning. It was a different role for me.”
