Bianca Belair WWE Profile

WWE Superstar Bianca Belair (real name Bianca Nicole Crawford) is currently signed to WWE’s SmackDown brand, where she is the reigning WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion. At WrestleMania 37 Night 1, Belair and Sasha Banks became the first black women to ever headline the biggest show in WWE’s calendar year.

Born on April 9, 1989 in Knoxville, Tennessee, Bianca is now 33 years old and she stands 5ft 7ins tall (1.70m). Belair was a track & field athlete and also competed in Crossfit and as a powerlifter before signing with WWE in 2016.

Bianca made her way to WWE after Hall of Famer Mark Henry suggested that she attend a tryout with the company. After attending two ’˜official’ tryouts, Belair signed her WWE contract on April 12, 2016. Bianca Belair was then assigned to the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida before debuting in the ring at an NXT live event in June of that year.

The ‘EST of WWE’ made her first appearance on NXT programming in May of 2017. Belair appeared in a Battle Royal to determine the number one contender to the NXT Women’s Championship. Belair was eliminated in that match by Billie Kay and Peyton Royce.

From NXT To The Main Roster

Bianca Belair stayed in NXT until 2020, following her appearance at WrestleMania 36. That ’˜Mania show took place without a crowd at the WWE Performance Center, and the night after Belair became a member of the RAW roster.

The EST of WWE moved to the SmackDown brand as part of the 2020 WWE Draft. On the October 30 edition of SmackDown she defeated Billie Kay and Natalya to be added to the SmackDown Survivor Series team. 

Belair became only the second Black Superstar to win the Royal Rumble match, along with wrestling great The Rock. Belair won the 2021 iteration of the event; outlasting 29 other women and eliminating Rhea Ripley to win the match and go on to headline WrestleMania 37.

Belair’s first defense of her SmackDown Women’s Championship came at the WrestleMania Backlash PPV event that took place in May 2021. That show was the third PPV event to air on Peacock in the United States; behind WWE Fastlane and WWE WrestleMania 37.
