Bianca Belair Isn’t Sure About a Sasha Banks Return, Comments On Breaking Records

In an interview with Wrestling Inc, Bianca Belair spoke about main eventing Wrestlemania two years ago with Sasha Banks and the possibility of Banks returning to WWE. Banks now wrestles in Japan as Mercedes Mone and is the IWGP Women’s Champion. Here are highlights:

On breaking records in WWE: “I just became the longest-reigning Black champion in WWE history, and MVP was the one who came and told me, ‘Today’s the day you beat me.’ And it’s really cool, because you’re coming behind these amazing great people, and your name gets to be in the same conversation as them. So I love being the face of the women’s division and going out there and inspiring people. So I just want my legacy to be not just about me and my accomplishments, but how I make people feel. So I’m hoping that my title reign is making people feel great right now.”

On possibly going back to NXT for their women’s championship: “Yeah, maybe one day I would love to go. I look at what John Cena’s doing, and he has so much equity where he gets to come back and wrestle Austin Theory, who’s one of the newer guys I love. Can’t wait till I have that much equity and I can go back, and if I do win the “NXT” title — but be able to go in there and elevate the other girls and get in the ring with the other girls, that would be amazing. And it would be something that I checked something off my bucket list that I never got to do. Because when I was in “NXT,” I wanted that title. I really, really wanted that title.”

On Sasha Banks returning to WWE: “I’m not sure. I can’t speak for her. She’s out there living her dream and I’m out here living my dream, and if those worlds collide again, then that’s not up to me. That’s up to her and what she wants to do with her dreams and with her happiness.”
