There’s another reason for her victory to be special, though. It is obviously the biggest moment to date for Bianca Belair who is yet to complete a year on the main roster. The win also made her the second-only black Superstar to win a Rumble match following The Rock’s win in 2000. So the woman of the moment discussed that prospect in an interview with Complex.
“It’s crazy. I didn’t know that fact until I got backstage and Kayla actually told me,” stated Belair. “It’s crazy that I never ever saw myself being in this position and I’m here now and creating history in the process of just trying to be me and trying to go after my goals and in the process, I’m creating history. Being a part of representation, it’s an amazing feeling. It’s one thing to win the Royal Rumble and get your tickets to WrestleMania, but it’s another thing to add even more purpose to it while you’re doing it. It’s amazing.”

Bianca Belair had a special moment at TheRumble
Bianca Belair eliminated Rhea Ripley last to win the Rumble and cameras followed her backstage where she had an emotional celebration with her husband and former tag team champion, Montez Ford. It was a special moment for her. Then while talking to Kayla Braxton, she realized the most special aspect about her win as she was a black superstar to do so.
Bianca Belair signed with WWE in 2016 to be part of the NXT roster. During her time in NXT, she had the opportunities to wrestle against a number of Superstars including Asuka. While speaking to Ryan Satin of FOX Sports, Belair talked about how that only match against RAW Women’s Champion Asuka has her confidence in wrestling. Now she could end up challenging Asuka for the title at WrestleMania 37.
