Bianca Belair saved one of WrestleMania 42’s most memorable moments for herself, and she did it without throwing a single punch.
Belair made a surprise appearance at WrestleMania 42 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, the same venue where she competed a year earlier, and announced her pregnancy to the crowd. The moment sent the arena into an immediate emotional reaction and quickly became one of the most talked-about highlights of the weekend.
Taking to Instagram afterward, Belair opened up about just how much the moment meant and how difficult it was to share something so personal in such a public setting.
“Same venue. Different result. This year. I win,” Belair wrote alongside a photo from the announcement.
She then went into the full weight of what led to the moment and what it took to step out in front of that crowd.
“I was so nervous to pop my little private bubble and share this moment but I’m so overwhelmed and truly overjoyed with the outpouring love and support. I was literally shaking and crying backstage before I came out. This year has been so hard in ways you guys just REALLY don’t even know but everything TRULY happens for a reason. There has been so many twists and turns but ending here has made it all worth it. I’ll be back! But until then enjoy this ride with me!”
Belair and her husband Montez Ford, whom she tagged in the post, are expecting their first child. The EST of WWE confirmed she will be taking time away from competition but made clear her absence is temporary.
