Top WWE star Bianca Belair, who won the Women’s Elimination Chamber at Saturday’s PLE, spoke with Shakiel Mahjouri of CBS Sports on a number of topics including her early days on the main roster and learning what she could from veterans like Becky Lynch and others.
Belair said, “When I first came onto the main roster, I was thrown into things very quickly. I was winning the Royal Rumble and main eventing WrestleMania my first year I was here. I was used to being led. My first WrestleMania, I’m in the ring with a vet like Sasha, then I’m in the ring with someone like Becky Lynch, and then Bayley and Asuka. I wanted to soak up and absorb as much as I could from them. I put myself in a position to do that. I remember when I became RAW Women’s Champion, and I was like, ‘Oh, okay. I’m not in the ring with them anymore. I have to kind of lead.’ I got a little bit uncomfortable because I was so used to being safe. I felt safe with them in the ring. Not in a sense of physical, but I knew we were going to have a great match. I have great chemistry with them, they’re leading me, I’m good. The only part I was uncomfortable with was that I’m now in this new role where I’m now looked at as the vet a little bit, but I felt like I was still learning. It was a different role for me.”
