\u200bLast week, I was in one of my favorite places in the world, a live WWE<\/a> television taping. WWE returned<\/a> to Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C and it was pleasing to see Jade Cargill, Bianca Belair, Naomi, Drew McIntyre, Jey Uso, Kevin Owens, Wade Barrett, Byron Saxton, B-Fab, and a host of others with one who stood out from the rest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of standing out, Briana Brandy aka B-Fab made her presence known. This diamond in the rough interrupted the new Blood Line, while they were in the ring and she was flanked by the former three-time Tag Team Champions, the Street Profits as she walked the aisle dressed in red (hair), white (top), and blue (bottoms and shoes). This superstar commanded the fans attention with her musically trained voice that quickly doubled into getting the fans pumped up for the match. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u200bWhen I first saw her with Hit Row, I knew there were possibilities, but true to form, bad writing\/creative direction\/lack of black culture\/knowledge at \u2018the table\u2019 eventually led to Hit Row being unceremoniously disbanded. Many fans knew that she was still signed with WWE, but with other female talent being pushed, many of us fell just short of starting a #GiveBFabAChance hashtag on X formerly known as Twitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u200bWe later learned that she had been training under Natayla. Fans were rooting for her because we saw what was happening. Again, #GiveBFabAChance. If they\u2019re giving others an opportunity to grow, why not Briana Brandy? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even after his release, A.J. Francis aka Topp Dolla spoke highly of B-Fab on social media, encouraging the higher ups in WWE to give her chance, that if she was given an opportunity, she would run with it, and he wasn\u2019t wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u200bWhen she first emerged with Bobby Lashley and the Street Profits, I knew she was on her way. Sadly, the former two-time WWE champion didn\u2019t renew his contract. I knew the Street profits would be okay, but once again, what about B-Fab? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thankfully, someone saw that she was putting in the work. Though I believe there were many more ways to go with the former WWE champion, Lashley\u2019s leaving may have been a blessing in disguise for B-Fab. Her taking charge as the manager of the Street Profits speaks volumes about their trust in her and what I suspect is a good attitude, which management appreciates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u200bShe has trained in the martial arts and cross fit, and the few times that I\u2019ve witnessed her in the ring and on the mic, I see shades of the Four Horsewomen and the current Big 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of wrestling\u2019s biggest stars; past and present can\u2019t do both as smooth and as natural as B-Fab. As a fan since the summer of 1987, I\u2019m happy and proud of Ms. Brandy. She pursued a dream, got cut, returned like the Pheonix from the ashes and she hasn\u2019t stopped. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sky really is the limit for her; whether she wants to be a wrestling champion, champ manager, or perhaps eventually become the first black female color or play-by-play commentator for RAW or Smackdown, maybe both! Wait, that belongs to me! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n
