The hair.

That's Bianca Belair's most identifiable characteristic (just ask the folks who made WWE 2K20), but her natural athleticism shouldn't be overlooked. You might hear NXT's announcers bring up Belair's athletic ability or maybe even reference her high school sports background. Might.

The truth is that Bianca was an All-American track and field star who drifted from university to university hoping to turn heads by leaping the hurdles. After that, she turned her attention to a career in CrossFit and later had to give that up due to problems with her ribs.

Until WWE produce a documentary special on Belair, her athletics career will remain in the shadows. She's never given the chance to talk about it on camera, and the announcers don't use it as a means to get her over either. It's all treated like one big secret.
