Bianca Belair Comments on How Her WrestleMania 42 Pregnancy Announcement Came Together & Triple H Pitched The Idea

As noted before, this past April’s WWE’s WrestleMania 42 Night 1 event featured Bianca Belair making a surprise appearance and officially announcing her pregnancy.

Belair recently released a new vlog on her official YouTube channel. One of the topics discussed included Belair’s thoughts about the process that led to her making her pregnancy announcement at WrestleMania 42.

Bianca Belair – “I was dead set on announcing it on my birthday. I texted him, he didn’t text back, so I said, ‘Okay, I’ll announce it on my birthday.’ He just texted back. He said yes. Now, I can’t go back on it.”

Montez Ford – “We planned to go to Miami from April 8 to April 12 and we were going to announce it on her birthday (April 9). Once we got to WrestleMania, everybody already knows, so it’s cool. Now that this is happening, it completely changes everything. Now, we have to keep hiding her for another four weeks.”

Belair – “Originally, I texted Hunter, and I told him I was pregnant. He was super excited and was like, ‘How are you gonna announce it? What about WrestleMania?’ I was like, ‘Well, like me talk to [Montez] about it. That would be cool. At least I could still be part of WrestleMania. Let me think about it.’ I was enjoying this bubble and was in a space where I didn’t want to announce it. I honestly just wanted to tell my family and friends and hard launch a baby. ‘This is mine. I don’t want to announce it.’ I said, ‘Let me think about it.’ Finally, we were talking and I said, ‘Let’s do WrestleMania. What about me coming out frist thing, with my bump, and opening WrestleMania.’ It’s Mania season, so I didn’t get a text back for a while. They are busy, of course. I thought, ‘Maybe it’s a no. Fuck it, I’ll just announce it on my birthday.’ We got dead set on that. ‘Let’s announce it on my birthday, and I go to Mania, I can go around and party in Vegas.’ Then, Hunter texted me back, ‘Sorry for the delay. Yes and yes.’”
