Bianca Belair Reveals She Worries About Wardrobe Malfunctions With Her Home Made Ring Gear

The EST discusses what its like wrestling in her home made ring gear.

In an interview with On The Grind, Bianca revealed that she makes all of her ring gear herself. She claims that sewing boosts her mental health and that she sews all the time. Bianca also claimed proudly that creating her own gear helps her feel accomplished and confident.

I would say sewing really eases my mental health. I sew all the time. I sew and make all of my wrestling gear. And when I’m home, when I’m feeling nervous or anxious about an upcoming match, I like to sew. Puts me at ease, makes me feel accomplished. I mean, I’m like, I’m in the ring, sitting across my opponent, I’m like, ‘I made my gear, what did you do?’

You can’t just make an outfit and go out there and have a wrestling match because the whole thing will fall apart. The fabric has to be stretchy, it has to be durable, it has to be functional. It’s not just fashionable. I’ve had a couple of times when I’ve been scared. I’ve had to like sew my gear on me and we’re taping it, I’m taping it on my body. And sometimes I’ll put it on and I’ll do a couple jumping jacks and some squats, I’m like, ‘all right, I think it’s good. Let’s pray it holds up. (…) Let’s pray we never have a wardrobe malfunction.

For me, on match day, I get very antsy. I get nervous, but I’ve learned to embrace that nervousness. I can’t sit still, so I don’t like to get my makeup done, I like to do my own makeup. I have to do something with my fingers. So, I do my own makeup, I do my own hair. Sometimes I’m actually seweing gear in the locker room, not necessarily because I need to, but because I just need to do something with my hands. It calms me. It’s like meditation for me.
