Bianca Belair and Montez Ford talk balancing their support of each other as a married couple in WWE.
A new reality series Love & WWE is set to premiere on Hulu on February 2 and will highlight Belair and Ford’s lives as WWE superstars. The couple recently spoke to Ariel Helwani on MMA Hour and discussed how they balance their support for each other even when they’re not necessarily happy with their spot on the card.
“That’s the great thing about the show, too,” Ford said. “They get introduced to our world, but they also get introduced to a couple who’s in the same business that do have different parallels when it comes to their careers. There’s a lot of times where I may have this going on for myself, she may have this going on for herself, but it may not all be aligned at heights.
“She may be at a high, I may be at a low, but you have to learn the balance of being supportive, and being a WWE superstar, and being a husband at the right times. Because at the same time, you may have those frustrations or whatever going on in your mind, but you also have to set that aside and be supportive for your spouse. I would never want to be going through something, and she’s at the height, and she feels so emotional and passionate about something, and I’m in there just bringing the mode down. That makes it a little bit difficult.”
That’s the balance
Belair noted that they have dealt with those feelings before and cited WrestleMania 37 as a prime example.
“That’s happened before. In the show, we touch on that a lot. That’s a big theme of the show. In the past, people don’t know this, but WrestleMania 37, he was supposed to have a WrestleMania match. He got gear made, he had family coming in. Things change all the time, his match ended up getting moved to the night before on SmackDown.
“He had every right to feel devastated and be down. He could have walked around like he had a cloud over his head, but the very next day, I was main eventing WrestleMania. It can be hard sometimes, but that’s the balance where he chose to be a husband that night and be happy for me and proud of me and celebrate me instead of being a worker and being frustrated about his situation. But that can be very difficult to do.”
