Bianca Belair was exhuasted by WrestleMania 39.
Bianca Belair had been the WWE Women's Champion for a year when she walked into WrestleMania 39 to defend the title against Asuka. Not only was Belair defending the title on a consistent basis, but she was making the media rounds as the champion.
Speaking to Brad Gilmore on The Collection, Belair discussed how she was feeling heading into WrestleMania 39.
"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," she said.
Belair said fans will see her journey when her reality show with Montez Ford premieres in February. Fans can learn more about the show by clicking here.
