– Speaking To The National News ahead of WWE Crown Jewel, WWE Superstar Bianca Belair discussed having to make changes to her ring gear for wrestling in Saudi Arabia, her journey in 2021 and more. Below are some highlights:

Belair on tweaking her ring gear for Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia: “I already wear long pants as it is, though we’ll definitely be having long sleeves and just making sure that we’re within the bounds of everything, but I’m definitely going to still show up and look like the EST that I am. We’ll definitely customize our gear, but I’m excited for it. It’s not something that’s an inconvenience, plus I get a new look.”

On getting advice from Natalya on wrestling in Saudi Arabia: “Natty always gives you advice in the locker room. Mostly that it’s an amazing opportunity, soak every moment in, know how important this is. It’s not just that we’re going to have this match, it’s about representation and making real change, not only inside the ring but outside of the ring too.”

Belair on her journey in 2021: “My whole journey in 2021 has been opportunities presenting themselves to me by the occasion. So I believe that’s kind of my reputation. I want to always have the reputation of showing up and being that common denominator any time you have a big moment that’s being talked about. My name is in that conversation; I’m the common denominator.”

At WWE Crown Jewel 2021 on Thursday, Bianca Belair will face Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch in a Triple Threat Match for Lynch’s SmackDown Women’s CHampionship.
