Bianca Belair is about to head into one of her toughest battles when she defends her RAW Women’s Championship against the Empress of Tomorrow Asuka this weekend at WrestleMania 39.
During an interview with the Athletic, the champ spoke about being nervous before her big match and how she’s able to use her nervousness to her advantage.
“Coming off WrestleMania 37, I thought I would walk into 38 being more confident, but I was more nervous for 38 then I was for 37,” Belair said. “I know I’ll be more nervous this year than I was the previous two years… I’ve been an athlete my whole life, so I’ve learned how to embrace the nervousness and let it fuel me instead of scare me.”
Belair has held the RAW Women’s Championship ever since defeating Becky Lynch at last year’s WrestleMania 38 pay-per-view event in Dallas, TX. We’ll have to see if the EST’s reign will continue after WrestleMania goes Hollywood.
