In the interview, Hart asks Belair about her humble beginning as a track and field athlete. Belair explained her interest in the sport saying, “I started with a track when I was like five years old and I was out there and my gymnastics, leotards, and lipstick people were calling me a little mini Flo-Jo and I think I fell in love with the athleticism of a sport.”
Bianca Belair’s outstanding achievements in and outside WWE
Under Roman Reigns’ history-making title run, the other record-breaking title runs are being overshadowed. Just last month, Belair broke MVP’s record of being the black person with the longest-reigning title reign in WWE history. Now she is hoping to beat another record. This time she aims to usurp Becky Lynch’s record of the longest Raw Women’s Championship reign.

In Belair’s case, she outdoes everyone as she makes her own gear from nothing. She chooses the cloth materials, sequins, and everything needed. Then she sews it together to make her show-stopping gears for every one of her big appearances.
Also, alongside that, Belair also appeared in and won a bodybuilding competition, displaying excellent form. While she is busy conquering other athletic competitions, Belair has reassured fans that she will continue to work in WWE.
