Bianca Belair who is also a former WWE SmackDown Women’s champion recently spoke to Sports Illustrated’s Laces Up program where she talked about Cody Rhodes and praised him. She talked about Cody working at Hell in a Cell with injury and said that this performance was really inspiring. She said;
“The thing is, when you’re passionate about something, you love something, nothing’s gonna get in your way of that. So that’s what I saw with Cody, he loves WWE, he loves the business, and nothing’s gonna get in the way of that. Like I said, when you’re on this platform, you have so many people watching you, you’re inspiring so many people, you feel like you don’t want to let them down either.
“So, you know, in hindsight, yeah, it’s a lot easier to look back and say, ‘I don’t know if that was a good idea.; It was hard watching that match. But to see him overcome all of that, I mean, there’s no the word but inspiring to describe that.”
“Oh, I’m powering through it. I mean, Wrestlemania, 37, Becky Lynch, I got I took a whole boot to — Becky Lynch hit me. I was like, ‘dang,’ like, Becky with the big boots right to the eye. I still have a black eye a little bit.
“It’s been almost three months. The whole time during my I was totally shut the next day. The whole time during the match, I never had a thought to stop during the match and like, Nope, we keep going. So that’s kind of the attitude that you have, we just keep pushing through.”
