Bianca Belair has had a great week. She closed out the Survivor Series week as the sole survivor for Team RAW and led them to a win. Being the face of the women’s division, she has to keep up appearances, do interviews and meet other superstars to promote the company. The former champion has cemented herself as an extraordinary superstar in WWE and all on her merit. She is unquestionably a hit amongst the fans, too. During the Survivor Series press tour in New York City, Bianca Belair and her husband Montez Ford met singer, rapper, and multimillionaire recording artist French Montana. The couple ran into Montana while he was also interviewing for Hot 97 [https://www.hot97.com/]. Bianca even posted a picture of them together on Instagram, captioning it, “Ran into @frenchmontana [https://www.instagram.com/frenchmontana/] after our interview w/ @ebrointheam [https://www.instagram.com/ebrointheam/].” Belair called it a ‘great week,’ and it was one for her. As mentioned before, Bianca was the sole survivor of Team RAW at Survivor Series. The EST eliminated three women all by herself after all her team members were thrashed by Team SmackDown early on. Belair looked like a powerhouse and a leader in the match. She also had a face-off with her fellow WrestleMania main eventer, Sasha Banks, which the crowd went crazy about during the bout.

She called herself a ‘sole survivor’ and credited her team, suggesting that she couldn’t have done it without them. Team RAW included Rhea Ripley [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/rhea-ripley/], Carmella, Liv Morgan, Bianca Belair, and Zelina Vega. Team SmackDown included Sasha Banks [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/sasha-banks/], Shayna Baszler, Shozi, Natalya, and Toni Storm.

Belair said she always proves that she is the EST of WWE in all her matches, and she did the same with the elimination match. She also noted that her team showed up tonight, proving that RAW was the superior brand.

<h2 style="text-align: center">WrestleMania</h2>
One of WWEâ€™s Big Five, WrestleMania is arguably the largest pro wrestling event in the world. Its first iteration featured the likes of Andre the Giant, Mr T, and Hulk Hogan, and a total attendance of just shy of 20,000 people. With WWE increasing the stakes each year, its latest iteration, WrestleMania XL, is set to feature over 25 of the promotionâ€™s biggest wrestlers, including Dwayne Johnson, Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, and Rhea Ripley.
<h2 style="text-align: center">WrestleMania Origins</h2>
WrestleMania was conceptualized as a rival to NWAâ€™s Starrcade, which began in 1983 and was initially organized by Jim Crockett Promotions. The two promotions were in a fierce battle to come out on top in the 80s, with NWAâ€™s popularity waning as the then-WWF expanded nationwide, with a hope to go global. Former WWE head honcho Vince McMahon was credited with creating the concept of WrestleMania. The PPVâ€™s name originated from WWFâ€™s lead ring announcer Howard Finkel, as a play on the Beatlemania of the 60s.

As WWFâ€™s inaugural PPV, the first-ever WrestleMania took place in 1985 at Madison Square Garden. Though WrestleMania 1 didnâ€™t manage to outshine the 1985 edition of Starrcade, which had a combined attendance of 30,000 people, it still managed to beat Starrcadeâ€™s debut attendance of 15,000, with over 19,000 people attending WrestleMania 1 in person, setting the stage for a PPV that would go on to become a household name.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Evolution of WrestleMania</h2>
<h3 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania I-IV: The Foundation</b></h3>
Even with its debut, WrestleManiaâ€™s core tenet was â€œgo big or go homeâ€. WWF went all out, with a match card featuring wrestling greats like The Iron Sheikh, Andre the Giant, Hulk Hogan, Ricky Steamboat, David and Bruno Sammartino, and The Fabulous Moolah. In keeping with what would later become tradition, the flagship marquee event also featured several big names from the era, including boxing legend Muhammed Ali, pianist Liberace, pop sensation Cyndi Lauper, and New York Yankees manager Billy Martin.

The all-round success of WrestleMania 1 saw WWF overtake NWA and AWA (American Wrestling Association). The event was critical to the '80s wrestling boom, which saw a sharp increase in the demand for professional wrestling.

Shortly after, WrestleMania II took the show to another level, simultaneously taking place in three different venues across the country - New York, Chicago, and California. While initially received poorly, as the logistics of organizing a major wrestling event across three venues overtook the promotion, it set the stage yet again for WWF one-upping itself with each edition.

In comparison, WrestleMania III managed to outshine its previous iterations, having broken the record for the largest recorded attendance at an indoor live event in North America with a purported attendance of over 93,000 people, only broken by WrestleMania 32 in 2016. It was also iconic for its matches, with Ricky Steamboat vs Randy Savage, and Hulk Hogan vs Andre the Giant going down in history as two of the greatest matches in pro wrestling history. While not as iconic as its predecessor, WrestleMania IV featured the first appearance of Donald Trump at a Mania, marking the start of the relationship between the promotion and the Trump Organization.
<h3 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania V-X: The Golden Era</b></h3>
WrestleMania during the Golden Era was truly something to behold. The promotionâ€™s fame had skyrocketed, effectively cementing itself as a stalwart player in the pro wrestling industry. With the success of WrestleMania came the introduction of pay-per-views like SummerSlam, Royal Rumble, and Survivor Series, meaning that the Golden Era had more to offer throughout the year.

However, WrestleManiaâ€™s popularity never waned with the addition of the new PPVs, as it continued to remain the biggest wrestling event in the country. WrestleMania saw some of the most legendary moments in WWE history in the early â€˜90s. Major feuds between Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage, and Shawn Michaels, aka Mr. WrestleMania, and Razor Ramon managed to outsell competitors in popularity.

The Golden Era of WWE served as a platform to cement the legacies of several WWE legends who have remained a household name till today, including Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, and The Ultimate Warrior. WrestleMania VII also saw the beginning of The Undertakerâ€™s Mania streak that would continue well into the 2010s.
<h3 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania XI-XX: Attitude Era Impact</b></h3>
WrestleMania during the Attitude Era saw the culmination of several iconic storylines coming to a head at the Grandest Stage of Them All. The PPV reached its peak during this period, with â€˜Stone Coldâ€™ Steve Austin beating Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania XIV for the WWF Championship title, marking the first of six title reigns.

This also marked the beginning of the legendary rivalry between Austin and Dwayne â€˜The Rockâ€™ Johnson, the epitome of the Attitude Era. WrestleMania XV saw the first fight between the two pro wrestling stalwarts, where Stone Cold beat The Rock during the main event to win back the WWF Championship belt.

The beginning of the new Millennium also saw the introduction of the first-ever Triangle Ladder match, with the iconic tag teams The Hardy Boyz, The Dudley Boyz, and Edge and Christian going against each other for the WWF Tag Team Championship. This era also saw the first-ever WrestleMania under the WWE at WrestleMania XIX, which also marked the end of Steve Austinâ€™s feud with The Rock.
<h3 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania XXI-XXX: New Millennium Milestones</b></h3>
In keeping up with becoming bigger and better, WWE introduced the concept of the Money In The Back ladder match at WrestleMania 21, which would become a main fixture in the PLE. This period of WrestleMania managed to rival the Attitude Era, giving us iconic matches with The Undertaker vs Batista at WrestleMania 23 and Ric Flairâ€™s retirement match against Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania XXIV.

WrestleMania XXX in particular was something to behold, as The Undertakerâ€™s unbroken 22-year streak was finally broken by Brock Lesnar, rendering the WWE universe in awe. Other moments also include Daniel Bryanâ€™s rise to the top after an initial win against Triple H and a win against Randy Orton and Batista for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
<h3 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania during the 2010s</b></h3>
The latter half of the 2010s saw increased interest in WrestleMania as WrestleMania 32 broke the attendance record previously set by WrestleMania III, with an attendance of over 101,000 people. With WWE itself moving towards organizing events in international venues, this expanded the reach WrestleMania had with fans outside of the States. WrestleMania 35 was the first since 2000 to not feature The Undertaker, but more importantly, was also the first WrestleMania to feature a womanâ€™s main event, with a triple threat match between Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, and Ronda Rousey.
<h3 style="text-align: center">WrestleMania in the 2020s</h3>
<h4 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania 36</b></h4>
WrestleMania 36 was a plethora of WrestleMania firsts, with the first-ever edition of the PLE to be held across two nights and the first to not have a live audience due to pandemic restrictions. Considering restrictions, the 2020 iteration of Mania was widely regarded a success, especially in the backdrop of no live audiences, as well as several last-minute changes to the roster to account for potential health risks. This was also heightened by WWE deciding to play with its format, with a Firefly Fun House match with Bray Wyatt taking down John Cena.
<h4 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania 37</b></h4>
While WrestleMania 36 was an example of WWE making do, WrestleMania 37 saw the promotion come back bigger and better. The 37th iteration of The Show of Shows took place in Tampa, Florida, where the reduction in COVID-19 protocols meant more freedom for WrestleMania to have a live audience, albeit limited capacity and with restrictions to the audience.

This also marked the first WWE event to be livestreamed solely on Peacock, a product of the WWE Networkâ€™s earlier merger with Peacock in March of that year.
<h4 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania 38</b></h4>
WrestleMania 38 marked the year when WWE returned the Showcase of the Immortals to its full capacity, with over 131,000 people attending over the course of two days. This also led to the evolution of WrestleMania Weekend, with WWE kickstarting the PLE with a special edition of Friday Night SmackDown featuring an Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal. The PLE also saw the surprise return of Cody Rhodes, as he took on Seth Rollins on Night 1, as well as Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar headlining the event on Night 2.
<h4 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania 39</b></h4>
In its most recent iteration, WrestleMania continues to prove its worth as the biggest pro wrestling event in history, with Mania 39 grossing $21.6 million in ticket sales alone. The PLE saw the appearance of several modern WWE greats including John Cena, Brock Lesnar, Rey Mysterio, Charlotte Flair, Edge, Roman Reigns, and Cody Rhodes.

'The EST' of NXT is now the EST of WWE. Bianca Belair has been WWE's most impressive female wrestler since debuting on the black-and-yellow brand. Her cross-fit career brought her into the view of WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry, who got her a WWE tryout. She joined the Performance Center in 2016 and made her NXT debut against Aliyah in a losing effort.

Belair took part in the 2017 Mae Young Classic, where she lost to eventual winner Kairi Sane. Her value in NXT rose in 2018 when she went on an undefeated streak. Along the way, she beat the likes of Candice Le Rae, Lacey Evans, Aliyah, Dakota Kai and Deonna Purrazzo. She beat Nikki Cross in their longstanding rivalry, sending the Twisted Sister to the main roster.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-281345 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200531224758/rhea-ripley-bianca-belair.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" />

Belair's signature braid became a big reason for her popularity, and she used it to whip her opponents during matches. Bianca had many attempts at winning the NXT Women's Championship but was unsuccessful.

She faced Shayna Baszler, Kairi Sane and Io Shirai at NXT Takeover: New York, but submitted to Baszler's Kirafuda Clutch. Her last attempt at the NXT Women's Championship came at NXT Takeover: Portland, where she lost to Rhea Ripley.
<h2>WWE main roster (2020- present)</h2>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-542705 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210207112716/Bianca-Belair-Sasha-Banks.jpg" alt="" width="1080" height="1350" />

Bianca Belair has appeared on WWE's main roster prior to her actual call-up. She registered wonderful performances at Survivor Series 2019 and the 2020 Royal Rumble. Belair entered the 2020 Royal Rumble at #2, eliminated eight people, a Rumble match record, before being dumped out by Charlotte Flair.

At Survivor Series 2020, Belair almost saved SmackDown from certain embarrassment, but got counted out along with Nia Jax, giving Team Raw the win and Lana the sole survivor's mantle. Belair kicked off 2021 by winning the Royal Rumble match.

She then challenged and defeated Sasha Banks at WrestleMania for the SmackDown Women's Championship. Banks then defeated Bayley at WrestleMania Backlash to retain the title. Belair ultimately lost the title to returning Becky Lynch at SummerSlam in just half a minute.

As a part of the 2021 draft, Belair was drafted to Raw. At Survivor Series 2021, Belair performed incredibly to create history by becoming the first person to overcome a four-on-one handicap to win the traditional Survivor Series match.

Bianca Belair 2022: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements MIAMI GARDENS, FLORIDA &#8211; JULY 23: Bianca Belair onstage during the WWE SmackDown on day 1 at Rolling Loud Miami 2021at Hard Rock Stadium on July 23, 2021, in Miami Gardens, Florida. (Photo by Jason Koerner/Getty Images) &#8216;The EST&#8217; of NXT is now the EST of WWE. Bianca Belair has been WWE&#8217;s most impressive female wrestler since debuting on the black-and-yellow brand. Her cross-fit career brought her into the view of WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry, who got her a WWE tryout. She joined the Performance Center in 2016 and made her NXT debut against Aliyah in a losing effort. Belair took part in the 2017 Mae Young Classic, where she lost to eventual winner Kairi Sane. Her value in NXT rose in 2018 when she went on an undefeated streak. Along the way, she beat the likes of Candice Le Rae, Lacey Evans, Aliyah, Dakota Kai and Deonna Purrazzo. She beat Nikki Cross in their longstanding rivalry, sending the Twisted Sister to the main roster. Belair&#8217;s signature braid became a big reason for her popularity, and she used it to whip her opponents during matches. Bianca had many attempts at winning the NXT Women&#8217;s Championship but was unsuccessful. She faced Shayna Baszler, Kairi Sane and Io Shirai at NXT Takeover: New York, but submitted to Baszler&#8217;s Kirafuda Clutch. Her last attempt at the NXT Women&#8217;s Championship came at NXT Takeover: Portland, where she lost to Rhea Ripley. WWE main roster (2020- present) Bianca Belair has appeared on WWE&#8217;s main roster prior to her actual call-up. She registered wonderful performances at Survivor Series 2019 and the 2020 Royal Rumble. Belair entered the 2020 Royal Rumble at #2, eliminated eight people, a Rumble match record, before being dumped out by Charlotte Flair. At Survivor Series 2020, Belair almost saved SmackDown from certain embarrassment, but got counted out along with Nia Jax, giving Team Raw the win and Lana the sole survivor&#8217;s mantle. Belair kicked off 2021 by winning the Royal Rumble match. She then challenged and defeated Sasha Banks at WrestleMania for the SmackDown Women&#8217;s Championship. Banks then defeated Bayley at WrestleMania Backlash to retain the title. Belair ultimately lost the title to returning Becky Lynch at SummerSlam in just half a minute. As a part of the 2021 draft, Belair was drafted to Raw. At Survivor Series 2021, Belair performed incredibly to create history by becoming the first person to overcome a four-on-one handicap to win the traditional Survivor Series match. Bianca Belair Net Worth 2022 The former SmackDown Women&#8217;s Champion winner has a net worth of $5 million. Bianca Belair Achievements Belair is the winner of the 2021 Royal Rumble. However, her biggest feat in the company came when she won the SmackDown Women&#8217;s Championship from Sasha Banks at WrestleMania 37, starting a dream run for The EST. On top of that, Belair won the 2021 ESPY Award alongside Sasha Banks for the best WWE moment. The moment was when these two superstars became the first-ever African-American to face each other in the main event of WrestleMania. Personal Life Belair is married to fellow professional wrestler Kenneth Crawford, also known as Montez Ford, one half of The Street Profits. The couple got married in June 2018. Belair is now the stepmother to Ford&#8217;s children from his previous marriage. How to contact Bianca Belair?

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Sasha Banks: 2024 Net Worth, Stats, Salary, Husband and More</b></h2>
Mercedes Kestner-Varnado, better known as Sasha Banks, is a female professional wrestler currently working as a free agent. There have been strong rumors of the professional wrestler signing a contract soon either with WWE or AEW. She established herself as one of the top stars of the division during her time in WWE owing to her spectacular performance in the SmackDown brand.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Sasha Banks' early life</b></h2>
Sasha Banks was born on January 26, 1992, in Fairfield, California to Reo Varnado and Judith Varnardo. Sasha takes up African-American ethnicity from her dad while her mother hailed from Germany. The professional wrestler and her brother Joshua Kaestner Varando were mostly raised by her mother as their father abandoned them during childhood. Moreover, Banks had a rather tough time growing up as she constantly moved places because of her autistic sibling. She mostly completed her education via an online medium.

[caption id="attachment_2058874" align="aligncenter" width="1600"]<img class="wp-image-2058874 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/sasha-banks-imago.jpg" alt="Sasha Banks" width="1600" height="1066" /> Image Credits: Imago[/caption]

Meanwhile, one surprising thing about the superstar is that she has good connections in the music industry as Snoop Dogg, Daz Dillinger, Brandy Norwood, and Ray. J are her cousins from her father's side.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Sasha Banksâ€™ husband and children</b></h2>
Sasha Banks found love and her life partner in the former wrestler Sarath Ton, who was famous by his ring name Mikaze. The two met each other in 2010, as they were a part of the autonomous wrestling circuit and connected over their love for wrestling gear. As of now, Ton works as a costume designer in WWE and the couple does not have any kids.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Sasha Banksâ€™ net worth 2024</b></h2>
As per Celebrity Net Worth, Banks has a net worth of $4 million. Her WWE contract offered her a salary of $250,000 per year. Ever since the success of the main event of the WrestleMania 37 match between Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair, the company gave Banks several chances to shine on the main roster and hence WWE increased her salary from $180,000 to $250,000. As of now, the star is earning $100,000 for every appearance as a free agent.

The brands also make sure to benefit from Sasha's social media following and thus she gets paid a handsome amount of $13,543 for every sponsorship post. Apart from endorsing brands like First We Feast and Kanndela, Banks also earns well through other sources of income like modeling and acting. She made he debut in Tinseltown with the series <em>The Mandalorian.Â </em>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Sasha Banksâ€™ career timeline</b></h2>
Sasha started her training as a professional wrestler back in 2008. She performed for Chaotic Wrestling and debuted in an inter-gender tag team match. The ride was long and hard for her as she continued to lose all her initial matches, with a WWE run seeming very far. However, she exceeded all expectations. Her immaculate in-ring skills, along with her infectious energy and fire-spitting promise, quickly made her a valuable commodity. She even won the Chaotic Wrestling Women's Championship.

In 2011, NXT, the developmental brand of WWE, was looking to rebuild itself from scratch with some tough wrestlers and signed Sasha Banks. Her first-ever WWE match was against fan-favorite Paige. Even though she lost, she captured the attention of the fans. Her NXT run coincided with a never-before-seen elevation of women's wrestling in WWE. Many credit her along with <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/charlotte-flair">Charlotte Flair</a>, Bayley, and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/becky-lynch">Becky Lynch</a> for ushering in the women's revolution.

Sasha had a storied rivalry with Charlotte Flair going from best friends to worst enemies.
