(https://twitter.com/BiancaBelairWWE)

If you’ve watched WWE in the last five years, you’ve witnessed the meteoric rise of Bianca Belair – a powerhouse athlete, fashion icon, and living embodiment of resilience. From floundering in developmental purgatory to headlining WrestleMania, her journey is a masterclass in turning setbacks into comebacks. Let’s break down why Bianca isn’t just a superstar… she’s THE EST.

💪🏾 The Rise of "The EST

Bianca Blair Crawford, aka Bianca Belair, didn’t stumble into wrestling. A former track star at the University of Tennessee and CrossFit competitor, she brought raw athleticism to WWE’s Performance Center in 2016. But her path wasn’t smooth. Early struggles in NXT saw her labeled “green” – until she weaponized her weaknesses.  

- Signature Move Alert: The K.O.D. (Kiss of Death)– a fireman’s carry flipped into a facebuster – became her exclamation point.  

- Gimmick Gold: Dubbing herself “The EST” (Strongest, Fastest, Toughest, etc.), she turned bravado into a brand.  

By 2020, Bianca wasn’t just ready for the main roster – she was unignorable.

🏆 Championship Pedigree

Bianca’s resume reads like a WWE history book:  

- 2021 Royal Rumble Winner (2nd Black woman to win). 

- SmackDown Women’s Champion (420+ days – longest reign EVER).  

- 2x Raw Women’s Champion.  

- WrestleMania 37 Main Event vs. Sasha Banks – first time two Black women headlined ‘Mania.  

But stats don’t capture her impact  Bianca doesn’t just win – she elevates. Whether trading bars with Becky Lynch or outpowering Rhea Ripley, she makes every feud feel like a must-watch event.
