The WWE Games page posted a photo of Rhea Ripley, Cody Rhodes & Bianca Belair to promote the WWE 2K24 video game.
This resulted in some fans posting hate comments about Bianca. Below are some of the comments:
“Bianca doesn’t belong. But guess gotta have a black”
“The two on the left yes. Bianca. Absolutely not.”
This resulted in the wrestling world standing up for Bianca:
Big E: The black women in this industry face a regular barrage of racism & misogyny from “fans.” And have for far too long. You cannot diminish their light. You cannot erase their contributions to this industry.
Rhea Ripley: EST ain’t just a nickname.. @BiancaBelairWWE is a history maker, a trailblazer, and one of the nicest humans that you would have the privilege to ever meet. Y’all just mad that she’s better than you #EST
Ivy Nile: @BiancaBelairWWE is everything I strive to be in the WWE. All 3 are the hardest working and influential people in my life, and I’m so grateful to know ALL of them. Much love, B #TennesseeStrong
Zelina Vega: Bianca is one of the best this business and WORLD has ever seen. When I think of a hard worker, stand out, path paver, and someone who is genuinely a proud representation of her culture, it’s Bianca. She deserves everything she’s gotten and MORE. She EARNED the name EST.
The “fans” that took part in the blatant disrespect and hate towards her and other black men and women should be ashamed and embarrassed. It’s disgusting. But your hate will never EVER dim their shine. We love you B. You continue to be an inspiration to all of us.
