Bianca Belair Hopes ‘Love And WWE’ Gets Others Interested In WWE The Way ‘Total Divas’ Did For Her

Bianca Belair hopes that her new reality show with Montez Ford will be an avenue for new fans to get introduced to WWE.

Bianca Belair and Montez Ford are not only WWE Superstars but the stars of a new reality show, Hulu's "Love & WWE." The show will follow the pair as they live their lives at home and juggle the busy schedule that is WWE on the Road to WrestleMania 39.

During a recent appearance on the MMA Hour, Bianca reflected on this opportunity, saying that she didn't really think that she was a good fit for reality TV at first but they both jumped at the opportunity once it was presented to them.

"No. I was always the person, ‘I don’t want to do reality TV. Me? I don’t fit for reality TV, I don’t do that. I would never never never.’ Then I learned to never say never because they presented us with the opportunity and I will be honest and say, we both jumped at it. ‘Yeah, let’s do it.’ We saw it as an opportunity to show the WWE Universe not just who we are inside the ring, but outside the ring, but more importantly show people who might not be a WWE fan or know much about WWE, use this as an introduction for them to WWE. Show them what it means to be a WWE Superstar," she said. "Show them how much is involved. Sometimes, people meet me and say, ‘You’re a wrestler? You don’t look like a wrestler.’ What does that mean? Let’s change this perception because there are so many different types of people in wrestling. Let’s show them that wrestling is cool and dope. Show them how, as a married couple, we navigate this crazy, chaotic life. We filmed it on the road to WrestleMania, which is the busiest time of the year. The road to WrestleMania is the playoffs and WrestleMania is our Super Bowl. It’s giving the insight to show what it takes to get to WrestleMania and the sacrifices and how hectic it is. I was champion at the time so I was crazy busy."

Bianca also reflected on the Total Divas reality show and how it provided a gateway into her having an interest in WWE. Now she hopes to do the same for a new generation.

"It’s really cool to show them what it’s like to be in WWE. I think about Total Divas. I didn’t really watch wrestling growing up. I remember my mom calling me and being like, ‘Have you seen Total Divas and what these women wrestlers are doing?’ ‘What are they doing?’ I’m seeing the amazing things they’re doing and it got me more interested in it. I’m hoping our show does the same and it’s why we jumped at the opportunity for it," she said.
