Bianca Belair believes she’s just as tough as The American Nightmare.
Earlier this month, Cody Rhodes tore his pectoral tendon completely off the bone, causing an incredible amount of damage to Cody’s right arm. He would wrestle through this injury despite the pain and would defeat Seth Rollins inside Hell In A Cell. Cody was met with glowing praise from the wrestling world, including from his colleagues and fans alike.
One person who thinks they could replicate what Cody Rhodes is Bianca Belair. Belair spoke to Laces Up with Sports Illustrated and believes she would do what Cody did, cause she is the toughEST.
“Oh, I’m powering through it. I mean, Wrestlemania, 37, Becky Lynch, I got I took a whole boot to — Becky Lynch hit me. I was like, ‘dang,’ like, Becky with the big boots right to the eye. I still have a black eye a little bit. It’s been almost three months. The whole time during my I was totally shut the next day. The whole time during the match, I never had a thought to stop during the match and like, Nope, we keep going. So that’s kind of the attitude that you have, we just keep pushing through.”
Bianca Belair to Laces Up
Of course, a black eye and a completely torn pectoral tendon are quite different injuries, but the sentiment is there. Time will tell if Belair will get the chance to one day back up this statement but of course, we hope Belair never suffers such an injury.
