In a recent post on her official Instagram account, WWE NXT talent Yulisa Leon opened up on how former WWE RAW Women’s Champion Bianca Belair inspired her to become a wrestler.

The post reads, “For years, the Nuevo León High Performance Center was my home and my entire life @inde.nl I remember that by the year 2018 after having mentioned it so much, my parents had already accepted that their daughter would become a Wrestler in the future. In that year 2018, I perfectly remember I finished my training week at the “Parque Niños Héroes”. I arrived home tired with my backpacks and I saw my father sitting at the computer, when suddenly I hear him say “mijaaa come I want to show you a video of a wrestler I just found, her name is @biancabelairwwe and she fights in WWE, she reminds me so much of you and she even did a movement similar to weightlifting”… (I quickly threw my training bag and ran to the computer to see). WooW I just loved what I saw, her strength and charisma, her story… That moment and that video were a key and important part of my motivation to make my transition to wrestling. I had to leave my country and leave behind 15 years of working for the Olympic dream to become a Professional Wrestler…The surprises that life gives are wonderful… If someone, at that moment when I was watching your video with great enthusiasm, had told me that I would meet her and have the opportunity to tell her this anecdote, I would never have believed it. I hope one day life gives me the opportunity to face her… Bianca, thank you for inspiring many women, to me you will always be the champion.”
