WWE star Bianca Belair, who partnered with C4 in 2021, told FOX Business in a recent interview she’s a big proponent of the energy drink and even started to consume it before she got into pro wrestling.
“To be a part of this is really, really cool. I work out a lot. I’m on the road a lot,” she said. “My schedule is like none other. I have a champions schedule even when I’m not a champion. So, just catching early-morning flights and having to find gyms and needing that energy to work out, C4 has always been what I go to.”

Belair added that she never would have believed she would be one of the faces of C4 Energy when she was participating in CrossFit competitions.
“I think it was in Vegas, at Money in the Bank, when it really hit me,” she explained. “They had these cars driving down the street and I was on the side of it holding the C4 can and had a big, huge sign. I was the girl in the CrossFit gym trying to find somebody to have C4, now I am the C4. It’s really, really cool.”
Belair will participate in WrestleMania Night 1 in a 6-woman tag-team match. Along with Jade Cargill and Naomi, the team will take on Dakota Kai, Kairi Sane and Asuka of Damage Control.
