WWE superstar Bianca Belair is making the most of her break. After a dominating 420-day run as the Raw Women's Champion, Bianca has confirmed she is currently taking a break from WWE to focus on self-care.
Speaking exclusively to The Agency at the MTV Video Music Awards this week, Bianca revealed, “Right now, it was just some self-care. We did some things with us personally that I’m so excited about, it has to do with the future.”
The 34-year-old star, whose husband and fellow wrestler Montez Ford joked his wife has been giving him “new house tasks every day” during her time off, also teased some exciting new projects in the pipeline. She said, “I’m trying to write a children’s book as well,” while their Hulu reality series The Crawfords is set to drop “at the end of this year, beginning of next year.”
Bianca had previously insisted she'd “never” work in reality TV, but revealed, “I was always somebody that was like, ‘I will never do reality TV, I have no desire to do it’. And I learned to never say never very quickly. It was different for me because everybody sees my husband – who everybody in the ring is who he is at home, he’s high energy, he’s full of life, full of joy, yelling, screaming, singing. I’m a little bit more low-key and more reserved, I just chill at home and do my DIY projects. I’m used to having the cameras in my face at work and now they’re in my home. How do I just be normal now? I don’t need to turn it on to be Bianca Belair. It’s a different dynamic!”
Bianca's hiatus has also given the beloved fan favourite a chance to relax at home and find shows to binge, which has led her to becoming obsessed with Temptation Island. She said, “I’m never home and I was finally home so I was looking for things to binge watch. I just started binge watching it and I brought [Montez] along. At one point, the girls were putting their hands on a guy and I was like, ‘Take your hand off of him!’ and I was hitting him. He was like, ‘Babe, they’re not touching me!’ I was invested in all five seasons!” Montez added, “We always find new shows to watch and binge watch, we discuss them, we pause the show in the middle of it and we talk about all the different sides – why this person made this decision, why would they do that? – we try to listen to reason so, it’s a lot of fun.”
Despite the break, Bianca hasn't been too far away, as just this week she and Montez joined the likes of bosses Triple H and Vince McMahon at the New York Stock Exchange to celebrate the $21 billion merger between UFC and WWE with both companies now under the TKO banner owned by Endeavor. Bianca said, “It was exciting just to be part of a historic moment. Being able to be there representing WWE was an honour. It’s very exciting because it’s a new chapter.” She added, “Everyone is on the edge of, ‘What’s coming? What’s happening next?’ so I’m just excited for whatever can come out of this and what’s going to come out of this. It’s going to be great.”
