Bianca Belair leaves the door open to big move away from WWE

Bianca Belair has left the door open for a big move away from WWE. The EST has been out of action since WrestleMania 41. She suffered injury to her finger, which has made it difficult for her to return to in-ring competition.

Belair has been heavily touted as one of the biggest stars of the company and is a well-established main event talent. However, it seems she is open to new challenges.

In an interview with Sports Illustrated, Bianca Belair discussed the Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford showdown, expressing respect for sports like boxing and MMA. She mentioned UFC stars crossing over to WWE in the last few years, as well as CM Punk competing in MMA. Belair then weighed in on potentially fighting in UFC.

"I think I’m very happy and comfortable being in WWE. If I ever did that, I would train extremely hard. I know it’s not something that you can just walk into and think that you’re gonna be successful. I mean, I learned to never say never, but I know my mom would be very scared if I ever did that,” she said.

WWE fans have seen the likes of Brock Lesnar, CM Punk, and, more recently, Gabe Steveson crossover to the world of MMA. Given her athletic ability and strength, it won't be a surprise if Belair gives it a shot down the line.

About the author

Sherjeel Malik is a writer at Sportskeeda and covers pro wrestling. He was hooked on the product from the moment he saw The Hardy Boyz jumping off ladders during the Attitude Era. While he comes from an engineering background, Sherjeel’s love for pro wrestling and content writing led him to pursue a career in sports journalism. Before assuming his current role at Sportskeeda, Sherjeel worked at other reputable organizations for five years.

While writing articles, he ensures that he only relies on credible sources for information and covers relevant subjects that do not project an agenda against a particular person or association. WWE legend Paul Heyman once shared Sherjeel’s work on his social media handle.

Sherjeel’s earliest memory of pro wrestling is watching Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Undertaker square off for the WWE Title in the main event of a pay-per-view in 1998. His favorite wrestlers are Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy. While he admires Orton for his character work as a heel, he looks up to Jeff because of his unique wrestling style and risk-taking ability.

If he could go back to the Attitude Era, Sherjeel would like to manage Ken Shamrock and be his mouthpiece. He feels Shamrock’s promo skills prevented him from becoming a main event-level act in WWE. Hence, he would like to help the UFC Hall of Famer get over with fans.

When not writing about pro wrestling, he likes to read classics and fiction books.
