Bianca Belair highlights representation in WWE.
WWE Women's Tag Team Champion Bianca Belair has often emphasized the importance of representation, and she made history by being one of the first two Black women to main-event WrestleMania at WWE WrestleMania 37, where she faced Sasha Banks. Meanwhile, Triple H made some controversial comments at the WWE Bad Blood post-show; when asked about representation, he said that he did not see the difference in anyone, and he only saw talent.
Speaking on Good Karma Wrestling, Bianca Belair was asked to comment on what representation meant to her, and Triple H's comments were referenced in the question.
“Representation means everything to me. I always use the quote, ‘Representation is not a request, it’s a requirement.’ I think that’s what’s amazing about WWE is that when you look at our roster, anybody can watch WWE and see somebody that they relate to, anyone. It’s multi-generational, it’s people from all different cultures, people from all over the world, but representation is so important. I feel like that’s what is so unique about WWE and the WWE Universe. Our audience, they want to turn the TV on and be able to see someone that they can relate to, that draws them in. So that’s what I love about WWE. I love being in the tag team that I’m in right now, I love that I’ve been able to be a part of a lot of amazing moments, making history by being one of the first Black women to main event WrestleMania, make history, become history myself and create a legacy. But I love being a part of all these amazing moments, and I look forward to continuing to be a part of some amazing moments and continue to be a part of representation and show that in WWE," Belair said.
Belair and Jade Cargill will defend the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship at WWE Crown Jewel. More information is available here.
