"I love ya" - AEW star comes out in support of Bianca Belair after recent controversy

An AEW wrestler has come out in support of WWE's Bianca Belair, who was recently the victim of racist comments. It all happened when WWE Games shared the cover photo of their upcoming 2K24 game, which features her along with Rhea Ripley and Cody Rhodes.

In a rare case of camaraderie that passes across wrestling promotions, the female wrestler posted her support for Belair. That wrestler is Athena, who is signed with AEW.

"I love ya kisses! #WeLoveYouBianca," she posted.

Belair is currently one of the hottest names in the wrestling industry and has more than enough accolades under her belt to prove that she is one of the best female wrestlers of all time.

She also has the achievement of being one of the first two African-Americans to headline a WrestleMania when she dueled with Sasha Banks at WrestleMania 37. She is also one of the longest-reigning WWE women's champions, with a total reign of 420 days.

WWE stars support Bianca Belair after racists target her

Several stars from the Stamford-based company have also shown their support for Bianca. Cody Rhodes took to his X account and posted his support.

"E S T," wrote Rhodes.

Check out Rhodes' tweet:

Belair was one of the wrestlers to come face-to-face with Jade Cargill during the Women's Royal Rumble Match. Fans liked the initial interaction, and there is every chance Cargill and Belair could face each other at The Grandest Stage of Them All.

With so many talented wrestlers on the roster, it remains to be seen if the creative team will be able to set up a feud between former AEW TBS Champion Big Jade and Belair, which could be massively interesting for the audience.
