Bianca Bellair sat down with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, discussing her new WWE Chronicle documentary and more at this link. Among the topics discussed was Belair returning for her second WWE Royal Rumble appearance, commenting, "My whole mindset last year was, “You might not know who I am coming in, but you’re damn sure going to know by the time I leave.” A lot more people know me this year. I’m excited about that. There are so many different angles, too. I’m in there to win and face Sasha Banks at WrestleMania, but I’m also focused on Bayley. There is also the story with Shayna Baszler—we’re both tied for the record at eight eliminations. We’ll both be trying to eliminate one another. There are so many different elements at play, which really excites me."
This week's NXT Injury report stated that Desmond Troy has a strained windpipe thanks to the beating Karrion Kross gave him on NXT while Ashante Thee Adonis suffered a Stinger and Internal Injuries, that Timothy Thatcher suffered an arm injury in the Fight Pit but has been cleared, that Tomasso Ciampa suffered a leg injury but has been cleared. This is all storyline. The video has been embedded below.
