Interestingly, the success of these events depends on how these celebrities take over the event. Bianca Belair, the current Raw Women’s champion, thinks that there are two legendary athletes, Serena Williams and Floyd Mayweather, who have enough to offer in the WWE ring .

In an interview, she said, “Personality-wise really just being charismatic and being able to get people invested in, Mayweather would be great. He has a crazy, great background and he would come in and like shake things up.”
