During a recent interview with WJBF NewsChannel 6, Bianca Belair was asked if she grew up wanting to become a wrestler. She stated that her goal was to become an Olympic track athlete, and she never imagined herself as a WWE Superstar.

“No my journey in to WWE was very unique. I never imagined myself as a WWE Superstar, I wanted to be an Olympic track athlete or Olympic gymnast, my role models were ‘Flo-Jo’, Gail Devers, and Dominique Dawes. So now to be in WWE, I never imagined myself being a WWE Superstar, but now I can’t imagine being anything other than a WWE Superstar now. I’m just blessed and grateful, and also to see who quickly I’ve been propelled in this career, you know back to back wins at WrestleMania," said Belair.
