The duality of the online world means that it offers both support and criticism for celebrities, impacting their work and personal lives. This duality was evident in a recent incident involving WWE’s EST.

Bianca Belair had been on the cover photo of the newly launched WWE 2K24 game along with Rhea Ripley and Cody Rhodes. However, a recent promotional picture of Belair from the video game garnered a ton of negative comments from netizens, including racially motivated ones. In response, multiple WWE stars came out in support of Belair and responded to haters on her behalf.

Why is Bianca Belair trending?

As part of the WWE 2K24 promo, a picture of Bianca Belair, Rhea Ripley, and Cody Rhodes appeared online. While Belair has had her fair share of victories in the WWE world and has risen through the ranks in the past year, some made assumptions on why exactly she had been put on the 2K24 cover alongside Rhea Ripley.

These comments were met with backlash from the WWE community, including several stars who called out the racist nature of the comments and pointed out the bigotry online. As one of the biggest and strongest WWE stalwarts, Belair continues to be an inspiration and a lighthouse for many, which is something that many pointed out as reasoning for why she was chosen alongside Ripley in a place of honor on the newest edition of the game.
