The EST of WWE: 5 facts you probably didn't know about Bianca Belair

#2 Mark Henry messaged her on social media regarding a tryout

As already noted, Bianca Belair's dreams of becoming a cross-fit competitor were left behind the wake of her health issues, which meant that she was forced to step into a 9-5 job.

"I have shifting rib syndrome. There's no treatment, there's no surgery, there's really nothing you can do for it. I went to a million doctors and chiropractors, and nobody could tell me what was wrong. I was really defeated," said Belair.

Belair knew that she was destined for more and decided that she wanted to be a WWE Superstar, but she told ESPN that as if by fate it was a message from former WWE Champion Mark Henry that helped bring her to WWE's attention.

"Have you ever thought about being a WWE wrestler? I can get you a tryout, but you have to do the rest of the work."

The above was the message that she received from The World's Strongest Man, a man that she states she is still indebted to.

"Every single day I'm here to prove [Mark] right and show him that what he saw in me is there, It's been a challenge, but I'm extremely grateful to be here and am excited for what's to come."
