Triple H becomes emotional while delivering devastating news about WrestleMania performer
WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H shared some heartbreaking news during the post-WrestleMania press conference.
RAW Women's Champion Bianca Belair successfully defended her title against Asuka at the Show of Shows. During her entrance, the EST of WWE was accompanied by several young ladies dancing to her theme song while waving their braids.
During the WrestleMania Sunday Press Conference, Triple H detailed that one of the girls that danced with Bianca had just lost her mother that morning.
"I wanted to mention and offer condolences, thoughts and prayers. There was a little girl in that troupe today, as they got here, they came and informed us that her mom passed away this morning. It's the little girl that was the contortionist that Bianca danced with."
The Game almost broke down as he recalled how all the members of the troupe and Bianca Belair went out of their way to make the day memorable for her despite the devastating news.
"To see everybody come together for her, to see everybody come to me to tell me about it, and then for us to do what we do, which is give her that opportunity in that moment with Bianca and create a moment for her on the worst day of her life that she'll never forget, that's why we do what we do on so many levels."
