The WWE‘s chief content officer said: “Before I open this up to questions I want to mention one other thing…
“I wanted to offer [our] condolences and thoughts and prayers. There’s a little girl in that troupe today [who] as they got here that informed us that her mum passed away this morning.
“It’s the little girl that was the contortionist that Bianca danced with.
“For her to come and do that because that’s her passion in life and because she didn’t want to let this opportunity pass by. For her to never miss a beat, to see her dance partners swarm around her.
“To see everybody come together for her, to see everybody come to me to tell me about it and then for us to get to do what we do, which is give her that opportunity and moment with Bianca, and create a moment for her on the worst day of her life that she will never forget.
“It’s why we do what we do, on so many levels.
“So I just want to say how cool that was from Bianca and just offer [her] our condolences and hope tomorrow is a better day.”
Bianca had also spoken about the group, the Divas of Compton, and how “amazing” they were during her entrance.

She said: “First off, shout-out to the Divas of Compton. They were amazing, just getting to meet them and during rehearsals when I first got to meet them, I was tearing up and crying.
“I was like, ‘I don’t know if I can watch this before my match, because I’m just gonna be bawling, crying.’
“But to be able to bring them out, and I wanted to have little ESTs, my favourite thing is to come out and see these little ESTs that they see themselves in me.
“And to be able to inspire them, they’re going to do amazing things.”
On the night Bianca retained her Raw Women’s Title against Asuka, but did not reveal the tragic story behind the scenes.
She added: “I just wanted to bring them out and show them — you know, I always talk about the role models I had as a kid.
“I always talk about this in every interview. And I am where I am because of my role models.
“And so, to see little ESTs dressing up like me and they’re seven years old, 12 years old. And it took me till I was 30 years to get on this Grand Stage.
“And they’re seven and 12 years old on this stage, and not intimidated by being in front of 80,000 people, and being watched by thousands of people on Peacock… they were amazing.
“And I just wanted to give them their stage and let them shine bright.”
