Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill discuss their tribute to Simone Biles.
On the August 23rd episode of WWE SmackDown, Bianca Belair, Jade Cargill, and Naomi paid tribute to Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles with their gear. The trio defeated Blair Davenport, Isla Dawn, and Alba Fyre, and their tribute to Biles sparked a lot of buzz.
Speaking on The Masked Man Show, Belair and Cargill were asked to comment on whose idea the gear was.
Jade Cargill: That was all Naomi.
Bianca Belair: We talked about it before. We were like, ‘Let’s do an Olympic-style gear,’ but then it was too late, and then we found out we were doing the Big Three, and then Naomi was like, ‘Let’s do this,’ and she sent us the leotards. That was Naomi’s idea, and we went with it. I don’t know if [Biles has] seen it yet. I’ve talked to Simone before, about mental health, a lot. I came out with the documentary, the Chronicle with WWE where it highlighted a lot of mental health stuff, and Simone did her big one with mental health and advocating for it. We’ve talked before, but I don’t know if she’s seen it. I feel like her DMs are probably just flooded. Hopefully one day she will.
JC: We were posted on a lot of ESPN women pages, so it went pretty viral. So we’re hoping for it. Let’s hope for it.
