Bianca Belair has admitted that she actually felt guilty when WWE pulled her aside during her second tryout and told her she was all-but-guaranteed to be signed to a contract.

Bianca told 'The Players Pod' that she went straight from her tryout to the airport with two other aspiring WWE stars (one male, one female). Both of them had WWE stickers on the backs of their phones, and they spoke passionately about how much it'd mean to ink a deal with the juggernaut.

Immediately, Belair felt like she was "almost stealing their dream". She'd been advised (by WWE officials) not to tell anybody what had been said, so she couldn't pipe up and admit that the 'EST' was WWE bound. No, Bianca had to sit there and listen to these people pour their hearts out.

Neither one got signed to a contract in the end.

Belair felt guilty because joining WWE, or even being a pro wrestler full stop, had never been her childhood dream. She vowed to use the other pair's passion as inspiration and do them proud by making the most of her opportunities.
