The WWE continues to grow to new heights as one of the biggest attractions in sports and entertainment, and this weekend, Philadelphia plays host to Pro Wrestling's Super Bowl as Wrestlemania takes over on April 6 & 7 and will be their grandest stage yet. Extending the event from one night to 48 hours with a WWE roster of superstars and storylines, two of the biggest names in the sport are sitting down with Ryan, Channing and Fred to share their unlikely journey to the top of wrestling and how it has shaped their lives in and outside of the ring from being apart of one of the fastest growing movements in the world to the battles they've overcome to be successful.
Bianca Belair and Montez Ford, the WWE superstar couple, talk about wrestling, their relationship on “Love & WWE”, finding the person they love while doing what they love and their storied journeys into their individual careers. Both former champions, Bianca and Montez have proven they have what it takes to succeed in wrestling and share how they have paved the way for other black men and women to have similar success and open up about how the spotlight away from the ring has affected their careers and personal lives.
Bianca opens up about how her highly competitive track career in highschool and college led to a battle with her diet, body image and eventual depression. The mental struggles mixed with her unhealthy relationship with food created a scenario where she was unable to perform at her best despite her insane amount of athleticism and talent. Afraid of failure, Biancaa leaned on her family and went back home to reset her life and eventually pivoted into a new endeavor, joining the WWE. For Montez, it was a different path, as wrestling was always a passion of his, and when he lost his older sister to a car accident in 2000, wrestling became a true escape and a way of life. Overcoming his own setbacks, Tez discusses how he was too skinny compared to other men in the sport when first trying out but it was his family’s motivation and philosophy to always max out in anything they do that motivated him to keep going.
The two's success in Wrestling opened doors for young men and women who not only look like them to believe they can have success but all young people to believe that not all journeys are direct paths to the top. With Bianca being the longest reigning RAW world champion during her meteoric rise and Montez winning three different championships as a member of the Tag Team Street Profits alongside Angelo Dawkins, the couple has put on for not only themselves and their families but the black community too. Captivating fans worldwide with their skill and contagious personalities, their on screen love and support for one another has elevated the two into a different level of stardom.
Fred and Ryan can't help but ask the obvious question about the scripted reputation of WWE and ask how Tez and Bianca explain what they do to others and how they deal with their constantly changing storylines while keeping from one another too. Setting the record straight that WWE is non-scripted at its core and what happens from week to week is unknown to them as they go in-depth about how grueling the schedule is, how tiring the performing can be from high-octane jumps to painful moves on the ground, the sport is difficult on the body and mind. With Wrestlemania on the horizon, the two talk about the title fights they are supposed to have but how even being a few days away from being on the biggest stage in wrestling, the two don't quite know what's in store match wise for them.
Their chaotic lifestyle of the WWE is transparently shown in their new Hulu series, as the two figure out what fits their careers while making big decisions about having a family and what's next. Both independently, and as a pair, Tez and Bianca have proven how self confidence can take a person to any level they work for and desire. Bianca’s Kiss of Death and Montez’s Frog Splash are two of the best finishing moves in the WWE, but this couple’s story is very far from over.
New episodes drop on Tuesdays at 12 p.m. ET and Fridays at 3:30 p.m ET on KZbin, with audio available on all streaming platforms including Apple, Spotify and Amazon.

She is a class act. My son took his time to make a poster for her she noticed him and spent some time with him. Signed his poster and took pictures. Her mannerism with kids and fans is incredible.

[@ExtraordinaryE901]

That’s incredible!

[@fratbronation]

The new Hogan/ Cena. It will only hurt her character with long time fans such as myself when we get a bit tired of her face run. We already pushing for a heel run. Her face run is at its peak.

He too good & what’s crazy is his partner underrated

[@Afrocentricpoet]

@FireAngelChris I like Dawkins but I dnt see him rising about the tag ranks

I think he has Shawn Michael qualities. He will be a good Heel as a solo wrestler.

[@lelanprichett3609]

[@ThatsJustYaYa]

We need Naomi and Jimmy on here too!

[@finisher3x]

I don't think I heard in the entire interview that neither Bianca nor Montez called each other by their names. They referred to each other as "my husband" or "my wife". That's how you know that you have true love and mutual respect in a relationship.

[@cjjonez]

really? I've seen couple like that. fought like cats.

[@SCDawgFan3]

I absolutely love Montez and Bianca as a real couple and real people. My condolences to Dawkins on the passing of his mama. I lost my mama on the 21st. I'll be praying for his family.

[@faithtvonline]

As a kid growing up, Saturday morning wrestling was EVERYTHING. Now, I don't know anybody in wrestling. Yet, I'm still enjoying this show. 😊

[@3d1k3]

This might not be the best place to put this comment……but this is THE BEST lead up to Wrestlemania in a very long time. I have never been this interested since I was a kid. So many superstars in WWE worth checking out in the media run leading up to Wrestlemania Weekend.

[@unevan570]

Montez is a future world champion been saying it since the profits were still in nxt, anyone who says he's just Bianca's husband, hasn't been watching

[@whzthmstr]

I'm happy for both of them, and proud looking at the representation they bring to society for us in and outside of sports. Very gracious and humble people, but both carry a drive to be great at whatever they do. Because there are a lot of people who want to be great in life, but not many have the dedication and discipline to make it happen. Blessings to them and to the Pivot Podcast crew. 🙏🏾✊🏾

[@devinbell4949]

Yea this gonna be one of them ones. Bianca is my daughter's favorite wrestler. Montez most definitely has the potential to become world champion. Salute to the pivot 🫡

That only works when the girl already likes you

[@ATHTSupply]

lol well just like any other line it worked because he went after someone that liked him back. You see he said he had to check the temperature first. So he saw the signs that she was choosing

[@dsmedia9165]

This is definitely a new age of wrestling. I remember a time when wrestlers did interviews, they would never talk about the business being scripted. Now a days they just freely talk about it like its normal. The innocence of believing it was real is what really made many of us true fans.

[@njva18]

Because they don't have to worry about Vince anymore that's why

[@Gabe4President88]

Yup, Vince leaving has really elevated WWE in so many levels. It’s bringing back everybody that fell in love with wrestling as kids

Would love to see Montez Ford get a solo push, he’s an insane talent with great charisma and only 33. He could absolutely be a world champ and play a face or heel. Love seeing him and Bianca on The Pivot.

[@stevenweber7793]

these 2 truly deserve all the success they've had and more. Both of them are seriously class acts and amazing ambassadors for the sport.

I am enjoying watching this! I am such a Pivot Podcast fan that I watch all the podcast so that the ratings stay high but I thought that this epidsode would not have anything for me because I am not a fan of WWE but Bianca's story of her eating disorder and mental health journey was something that I connected with! The Podcast is just so impactful!

[@carolynbuckley8733]

I still remember as a kid going to my first BJJ finals and a local competition and I was telling my coach I do not deserve to be here. He said why not? I said I haven't earned it so I do not deserve it. I was saying that because so many of the people on my team were better than me that did not make it into the finals. I will always remember what he said. He said well you are here now and this is where you earn it. If you want to deserve it Go deserve it.
