Former WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion Bianca Belair becomes the #1 in PWI women’s 150

Bianca Belair has been one of the famous names in WWE since her title win at WrestleMania against Sasha Banks. Belair was the first African-American woman to headline Wrestlemania and won the title.

Belair was recently featured as the number one in the PWI Women’s 150. According to Mike Jones of DC101 (h/t Wrestling Inc.), she spoke about her achievement, it was the reward for her hard work, and she doesn’t want to stop now.

The Est of WWE said that it’s a huge honor and she is loving the recognition she is getting and happy that she is number one. Belair recalled her journey of five years and is quite amazed by the representation that she has obtained. She wants to grind more now.

“It’s a huge honor,” Belair said. “It’s just a lot of validation and I love the validation and recognition that I’m getting but all I can say is that I’m number one this year, but the grind will never stop, it will continue. It’s an amazing journey since 2016 to now, it’s crazy to think it’s only been five years, but to be considered the number one wrestler in the world right now, it’s just an amazing representation and all that I can say is that I’m blessed and going to continue to grind.”
