“I will say it was the most rewarding but exhausting time of my career,” Bianca Belair said. “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 wanna put on a champion performance.
“There’s multiple segments on the show, you’re on every single show, you’re on every single live event, you’re doing the media between the weeks. When everyone else is going home after Raws and SmackDowns, you’re going to New York, to California, to do media, to do press, to do opportunities. I think I got to do a lot of amazing things. I think I took the title to so many places when I was champion…I did so many amazing things but, I was never home and it also comes with the pressure.”
Bianca Belair Recalls Being Sick At WrestleMania 39
Bianca Belair continued by describing how she was sick at WrestleMania 39. She noted that she was run down. Belair stated that WrestleMania season is rewarding and exhausting. She also teased that fans will see this journey in her upcoming Hulu series.
“I’m a perfectionist, so when it comes to WrestleMania and I put everything into it, I was so sick at WrestleMania and I think physically, I was just run down,” Bianca Belair said. “I was just so sick at WrestleMania. But it’s a lot of pressure that comes with it, but like I said, it’s the most rewarding but exhausting time of the year.
“What I will say is that my husband and I, we have a Hulu series coming out, February 2nd, called ‘Love & WWE: Bianca & Montez’ and we actually shot the road to WrestleMania and we shot — I was champion, I was coming up on a year being champion and you’ll see. Just tune in. You’ll see how exhausting and rewarding that journey is and trying to balance everything but yeah, it’s exhausting and rewarding.”
