Bianca Belair Was Excited To Learn She’d Face Asuka At WrestleMania 39

Bianca Belair is looking forward to her match against Asuka at WrestleMania 39, as she knows it’ll be one to remember. The Raw Women’s Champion spoke with Fightful for a new interview and said she was excited when Asuka won the women’s Elimination Chamber match at February’s PPV because she knew they would put on a strong match. You can see highlights below:

On if she feels pressure to go 3-0 at WrestleMania: “I always say that I stay ready so I don’t have to get ready. WrestleMania, we look forward to all year long. The day after WrestleMania, you’re already thinking about the next WrestleMania. I’ve been thinking about this since last year. It’s a lot of pressure trying to top the last two years, but I have an amazing competitor that I’m stepping in the ring with that plays a huge role in it as well. I know Asuka is going to bring it to the table, so I have to match that and go over and beyond and above what she brings to the table. As long as we do that, we’re going to deliver. I’m excited for it.”

On learning she would face Asuka at WrestleMania: “Definitely [was excited], when I saw Asuka won Elimination Chamber, I was super excited. ‘Okay, this is good, this is great, we’re going to go out there and have a banger match.’ In the back of my mind, I’m like, ‘it’s one thing to have a match, but you want to walk out as champion, so how can we do that?’ It’s been hard trying to figure out how to prepare for someone when you don’t know what to expect. She looks different, she’s acting different. I’m excited, but the pressure is there. I had a five star match last year, now I have to go have a six star match. The pressure is there.”
