She explained to Belair that even with the WWE, women do things she never saw as a child. Robbie talked about how watching women like Belair at a young age would impact her life. “But imagine if I had grown up watching you (Bianca Belair) on screen.” You can see how excited Robbie is to talk about her love for the WWE and how the women’s division has impacted her and others like her.
She also cited her favorite wrestlers growing up were The Undertaker and John Cena. She went on to say how the WWE and action movies shaped her. As a fan of action stars like Stallone, she said she would have loved to see women do those movies. She further added it would have had a bigger impact on young girls.
Belair got Cena’s stamp of approval, while Robbie got The Undertaker’s
Hearing Cena’s name from Robbie lit Belair up as she has been compared to him multiple times. During her crushing loss at SummerSlam 2021, it was Cena who advised the young star on dealing with a brutal loss. In many interviews, Belair cited Cena as one of her inspirations, while Vince Russo praised her work and called her the ‘Female John Cena.’
