TONIGHT ON "106 & SPORTS" WE

ARE COUNTING DOWN THE TOP SPORTS

STORIES THAT MATTER TO THE

CULTURE.

Ashley: WWE SUPERSTAR

BIANCA BEL AIR TALKS TO US ABOUT

THE FUTURE OF HER CAREER.

Cam: PLUS THE LATEST NEWS

ABOUT JAYLEN BROWN, AND WE

CONTINUE TO COVER HBCU FOOTBALL

LIKE NO ONE ELSE CAN.

Ashley: THIS IS

Ashley: BEFORE HE EVEN GET

INTO THE INTRODUCTION, THIS IS

THE BEST DRESSED CROWD YET!

Cam: I'M TRYING TO TELL

YOU!

Ashley: OH, MY GOD!

Cam: MAN!

Ashley: WELCOME TO

"106 & SPORTS."

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]

Cam: WE ARE COUNTING DOWN

THE TOP FIVE MOMENTS IN SPORTS

THAT MATTER TO THE CULTURE.

Ashley: BUT BEFORE WE GET

STARTED WITH THE COUNTDOWN, HERE

ARE SOME OF OUR FAVORITE

HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS WEEK.

Cam: JONATHAN TAYLOR WENT

BEAST MODE IN BERLIN.

HE WENT 244 YARDS, THREE

TOUCHDOWNS INCLUDING THE

GAME-WINNER IN OVERTIME OVER THE

FALCONS.

TAYLOR IS IN THE HISTORY BOOKS

BECOMING THE COLT'S ALL-TIME

CAREER LEADER IN TOUCHDOWNS

RUSHED.

CONGRATULATIONS ON THAT.

IF YOU KEEP THIS PACE, HE COULD

BE THE FIRST RUNNING BACK SINCE

ADRIAN PETERSON WON THE MVP IN

Ashley: OKAY!

THE HAWKS WERE THE UNDERDOGS

AGAINST THE LAKERS, BUT I DON'T

KNOW IF IT IS BECAUSE CAM AND I

WERE IN THE BUILDING.

THE HAWKS GOT THAT WIN, 122-102.

WE ARE NOT GOING TO DISCUSS WHAT

CAM MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE BEEN

YELLING TO THE LAKERS PLAYERS.

Cam: TOE-TAPPING IN

TAMPA BAY WITH A FIRE TOUCHDOWN

CATCH, AND THIS WAS ON 4TH &

GOAL.

BUT LET ME GO BACK TO JONATHAN

TAYLOR POTENTIALLY BEING AN MVP

FRONT RUNNER.

Ashley: BEST RUNNING BACK

IN THE NFL FOR NOW.

Cam: EASY.

Ashley: EASILY BEST PLAYER

IN THE NFL NOW.

Cam: NOW YOU ARE STRETCHED,

NO PILATES.

BUT I THINK HE MEANS MORE TO HIS

TEAM THAN ANY OTHER PLAYER MEANS

TO THEIR TEAM.

AND THAT'S SAYING SOMETHING.

JONATHAN TAYLOR HAS BEEN ABLE TO

LITERALLY PUT THE WHOLE TEAM ON

HIS BACK, WHICH ALLEVIATES THE

STRESS LOAD FOR INDIANA JONES.

IT'S BEEN ONE OF THE THINGS THAT

THE INDIANAPOLIS COLTS HAD MADE

IT ABUNDANTLY CLEAR, WE ARE

TRYING TO WIN YESTERDAY.

LIKE, NOW.

I NEED IT.

IT'S MY MONEY!

I NEED IT NOW!

Cam: LIKE THAT.

ON THE HBCU FOOTBALL.

THE RIVALRY GAME KNOWN AS THE

BIG CAT CLASSIC, AND THE

PANTHERS DEFEATED THE MOREHOUSE

MAROON TIGERS 48-45.

THIS WAS THE HIGHEST SCORING BIG

CAT CLASSIC ON RECORD WITH 93

COMBINED POINTS.

Ashley: LOOK, SHOUT OUT TO

VENUS WILLIAMS, WHO

CONFIRMED -- EVERYONE GET

READY -- SHE WILL PLAY HER 33RD

SEASON.

[APPLAUSE]

33RD SEASON, CAM.

IS THAT YOU'RE SERVE?

Cam: I'M WHAT THEY CALL AN

ATHLETE!

HEAVY ON THE F.

I'M AFLETE!

Ashley: I'VE SEEN A BOX

WITH CLARESSA SHIELDS.

I DON'T KNOW IF I WOULD SAY YOU

ARE A "AFLETE."

Cam: WHO IS READY TO GET

INTO THE COUNTDOWN?

[APPLAUSE]

Ashley: THANK YOU!

CLAP IT UP FOR CAM NEWTON!

[APPLAUSE]

Cam: TODAY'S NUMBER FIVE

STORY IS ABOUT JAYLEN BROWN.

IS HE RUBBING PEOPLE THE WRONG

WAY?

Ashley: OH, MY GOSH.

WELL, JAYLEN BROWN HAS BEEN

TRENDING AFTER BACK-TO-BACK

VIRAL MOMENTS, AND THE INTERNET

IS ABSOLUTELY LOSING IT.

THE FIRST WAS DURING THE CELTICS

GAME AGAINST MY NEW YORK KNICKS

WHEN FANS NOTICED HIS HAIR DYE

RUBBING OFF ON OG ANUNOBY'S

JERSEY.

[LAUGHTER]

WAS THAT YOU SPRAYING THE --

Cam: THAT'S THAT BEIJING.

ALL MY FOLKS IN TECH SIX GON'

LUH THAT.

IT'S THE ICE CREAM PAINT JOB

THAT REALLY GONNA GET YOU THERE

WHEN YOU AIN'T GOT NOTHING

THERE.

IT'S ALL RIGHT, THOUGH.

VERSUS THE WIZARDS, HE ENDED UP

WITH THE SAME BLACK SMUDGE ON

HIS SHOULDER.

NOT THE SMUDGE!

WHY Y'ALL PUT THE SMUDGE IN

THERE?

Ashley: WITHIN HOURS IT WAS

EVERYWHERE.

MEMES, DEBATES, THINK PIECES,

BUT UNDERNEATH THE JOKES IT

OPENED A REAL QUESTION ABOUT

IMAGE IN SPORTS.

IT'S CLEAR HE'S IN ON THE JOKE.

LET'S LOOK.

ONE THAT SAYS, "BRO HAIRLINE GOT

TRADED MID GAME."

Cam: DIA-FOLLICLE!

Ashley: THIS ONE SAYS FROM

JAYLEN BROWN HIMSELF, "AI IS

GETTING OUT OF HAND."

Cam: LET ME ASK THE CROWD.

Ashley: OH, NO.

Cam: LET ME ASK MY SISTAS,

HUH?

IS IT OKAY FOR YOUR OTHER HALF

TO HAVE A LITTLE EXTRA...

[LAUGHTER]

BE CAREFUL, NOW!

BE CAREFUL!

BE CAREFUL!

BY A SHOW OF HANDS, IF YOU LIKE

YOUR PARTNER TO HAVE A LITTLE

ICE CREAM AT THE TOP, RAISE YOUR

HAND.

IN A WORLD WHERE WE BELIEVE IN

EQUALITY, IN A WORLD WHERE WE

BELIEVE, IF THEY DO IT, WE

SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO IT!

EVERYBODY AIN'T GON' HAVE HAIR!

WHEN I HIT 20s, MID 40s, I

MAY NOT HAVE IT!

IT'S A DIRECT UNDERSTANDING OF

WHAT IS TO BE FOR MOST PEOPLE.

Ashley: IF YOU'RE PLAYING A

SPORT THAT CAUSES YOU TO SWEAT,

IT PROBABLY ISN'T WISE TO SPRAY

PAINT YOUR HAIRLINE.

Cam: OKAY, COOL.

I'MA IT GET OFF MY BEAUTIFUL

ILLUSTRIOUS SCREEN.

I HAVE A POINT, DON'T DIE,

BROTHERS

I'M GOING TO MAKE THIS POINT TO

JAYLEN BROWN.

MY ATLANTA PERSON.

KEEP SPRAYING THE TOP OF YOUR

HEAD!

MATTER-OF-FACT, SPRAY TWO CANS

ON IT THIS TIME!

WE BELIEVE IN EQUALITY!

WE BELIEVE IN EQUALITY!

WE BELIEVE IN EQUALITY!

Ashley: I WANT TO MAKE A

AUDIENCE, THE ONLY PEOPLE

CHANTING THAT WAY THE MEN.

MOVING ON, EVERY WEEK, NO MATTER

HOW FOCUSED THE ATHLETES ARE,

THERE SEEMS TO BE THAT ONE STORY

THAT MAKES YOU SAY "THAT'S A

Cam: WOW.

Ashley: YOU KNOW A THING OR

TWO ABOUT BEING MESSY, DON'T

YOU?

Cam: I HAVE SOME MESS FOR

Y'ALL.

Y'ALL READY FOR MY MESS?

Ashley: LET'S SEE.

Cam: IT STARTED WHEN A

GREMLIN PLAYER TOOK A SWING AT A

BETWEEN COOKMAN PLAYER.

HEAD COACH SAID, WE ARE NOT

GOING TO TOLERATE DISRESPECT AT

GRAMBLING.

YOU'RE GOING TO MEET DISRESPECT

WITH DISRESPECT.

I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THIS.

I UNDERSTAND THE DISRESPECT PAR

PART.

BUT HOW MANY WEEKS HAVE WE BEEN

DOING THIS SHOW?

Ashley: THIS IS AFTER THE

SHOW, THAT WOULD BE FIVE WEEKS.

Cam: HAVE WE NOT SIT ON THE

TABLE AND SAID WE NEED HBCU

EXPOSURE?

Ashley: YES.

Cam: HAD WE NOT SAID WE ARE

GOING TO TAKE THIS PLATFORM OF

"106 & SPORTS" AND HIGHLIGHT THE

TOTALITY OF SPORTS?

THAT INCLUDES AFRICAN AMERICANS,

MINORITIES IN SPORTS, AS WELL?

Ashley: YES.

Cam: I SAID LAST WEEK IT

WILL TAKE MEDIA DEALS TO NOW

PENETRATE THE HBCU ECOSYSTEM.

BUT THIS IS WHY I DON'T LIKE

THIS.

I ACTUALLY DESPISE IT.

Ashley: WOW.

Cam: WHY?

IT'S BECAUSE, IF THE PEOPLE WHO

SIGN THE CHECKS TO PUT YOU ON

NATIONAL TELEVISION, THEY WERE

TO SEE A MELEE, ROYAL RUMBLE,

AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WE

WONDER WHY WE DON'T GOT NO MEDIA

DEALS AND MEDIA

CONTRACTS -- THIS IS THE THING.

I COULD PROBABLY HEAR A COACH OR

REPRESENTATIVE SAY, "THEY

STARTED IT FIRST!"

TWO WRONGS --

DON'T MAKE A RIGHT.

Cam: WHEN YOU HAVE

OPPORTUNITIES TO SHIFT THE

NARRATIVE, ESPECIALLY IN OUR

CULTURE, WHERE WE ALREADY

STARTED WITH AN UPHILL BATTLE

WITH ONE GOOD FOOT, THE OTHER

ONE GOT GOUT, THE OTHER ONE GOT

ATHLETES FOOT, ONE HAND STRAPPED

AROUND YOUR BACK, AND YOU DO

THIS?

Ashley: YOU CAN ADMIT

THAT'S A DOUBLE STANDARD,

BECAUSE WE'VE SEEN AT A LOT OF

THE POWER UNIVERSITIES FIGHTS

BREAK OUT ALL THE TIME.

YOU CAN ACKNOWLEDGE, BECAUSE

YOU'RE ALREADY AT A

DISADVANTAGE --

Cam: YOU WANT TO KNOW THE

DIFFERENCE?

THEY ALREADY SECURED THEIR BAG.

WE ARE TRYING TO GO GET US A

BAG.

THIS IS COMING FROM AN

INDIVIDUAL THAT WENT TO A PWI.

I'VE NEVER HAD THE HBC

EXPERIENCE.

I'D BE THE FIRST PERSON TO TELL

YOU THAT.

ON THE FIRST PERSON IN MY FAMILY

NOT TO GO TO COLLEGE.

EVERYBODY IN MY FAMILY WENT TO

COLLEGE.

WENT TO A PWI.

SO FOR ME, ALL I KNEW WAS

SO FOR ME, ALL I KNEW WAS

HBCUs.

ALL I KNEW WAS HOMECOMINGS, ALL

I KNEW WAS TO BE PRIDEFUL AND

WHERE YOUR TEAM COLORS.

WIN, LOSE, OR DRAW.

I GET JEALOUS SOMETIMES WHEN MY

SISTER-IN-LAW OR MY BROTHER SAY,

"HU, YOU KNOW!"

THESE TYPES OF THINGS.

BUT IF WE SIT UP HERE AND WE

TAKE TIME AND TIME AGAIN, THIS

PLATFORM A NETWORK, WE SAID WE

WANT EQUALITY, AND THIS HAPPENS?

I DON'T GIVE A DOGGONE WHO WAS

WRONG.

THAT CAN'T BE THE NARRATIVE.

IF THE PEOPLE ARE SIGNING THE

CHECKS -- LET'S GIVE IT A BIGGER

"BUT" DONE THAT.

THEY WANT EVERY SINGLE REASON TO

SAY, "SEE, SEE?"

I TOLD YOU, WE CAN'T DO THAT.

I'M NOT GOING TO GO FOR THAT.

THAT'S WHY I'M DISAPPOINTED.

IT'S NOT ABOUT A SLAP HAPPEN.

COOL, BRO, TAKE THE SLAP, TELL

THE REF.

IF THE REF DON'T DO IT, WALK ON

ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS PAY WE NEED

TO DO RIGHT BY OURSELVES AND

START HOLDING EACH OTHER

ACCOUNTABLE.

THAT'S WHY I DON'T APPRECIATE

THAT, BECAUSE IT COULD HAVE BEEN

HANDLED IN MANY DIFFERENT WAYS.

IT'S ALWAYS HANDLED MANY

DIFFERENT WAYS.

Ashley: FOR YOU AT HOME,

JOIN THE CONVERSATION USING THE

HASHTAG, BUT DON'T GO ANYWHERE,

BECAUSE STILL ON THE SHOW

TONIGHT WE HAVE WWE SUPERSTAR

BIANCA BELAIR HERE.

YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS IT!

[APPLAUSE]

Ashley: WELCOME BACK,

EVERYBODY, TO "106 & SPORTS,"

WHERE CULTURE MEETS AGAIN.

WE ARE STILL COUNTING DOWN OUR

TOP FIVE MOMENTS AND WE ARE

GOING TO CONTINUE THE COUNTDOWN

RIGHT NOW.

IS EVERYBODY READY FOR NUMBER

FOUR?

[APPLAUSE]

Cam: ALBRIGHTY, THEN!

THE NUMBER FOUR TOPIC IS NEAR

AND DEAR TO MY HEART.

IT'S ABOUT BDE.

Ashley: I KNOW WHAT IT IS,

I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY YOU

JUST SAID THAT.

Cam: BIG DAD ENERGY.

Ashley: OH!

NEVER MIND.

[LAUGHS]

Cam: ASHLEY!

Ashley: SORRY!

Cam: SLOW DOWN, NOW.

Ashley: THE SIN, BACK IN

HEADLINES AFTER KEVIN DURANT WAS

CAUGHT COURTSIDE YELLING AT HIM.

"HIS SON DON'T WANT TO BE HERE,"

MEANING MEMPHIS.

Cam: THE ALL-STAR JUMPED IN

AND SAID SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP.

IT'S A HOPE IN THE WHOLE

CONVERSATION THAT STARTED WITH

RICHARD WILLIAMS AND LaVAR

BALL AND EVEN DEION SANDERS

ABOUT SPORTS PARENTS, ESPECIALLY

BLACK FATHERS.

WHEN DOES BEING VISIBLE TURN

INTO BEING TOO VISIBLE?

SPEECH HE WIDELY CRITICIZED

BLACK DADS FOR SHOWING UP WHEN

THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT WE ASK THEM

TO DO?

Cam: UM, I THINK THIS

SITUATION IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT.

Ashley: TELL ME WHY.

Cam: I'VE BEEN THE BIGGEST

JAH FAN.

YOU SEE AN INDIVIDUAL, HE'S NOT

HAPPY.

BUT WHAT DOES THE DEAD DO?

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

SOMETIMES I DON'T THINK WE ARE

ABLE TO REALLY PROCESS BIG

PERSONALITY FROM INDIVIDUALS

THAT WE ARE NOT USED TO SEEING

BIG PERSONALITIES FROM.

WE HAVE ALSO SEEN THE ANTICS OR

WHAT LOOK TO BE ANTICS WITH HIM

BEING COURTSIDE.

I THINK THAT IS WHERE HIS RAP

GETS KIND OF SKEWED A LITTLE

BIT.

AS A PERSON OBSERVING THE WHOLE

SITUATION, IT'S LIKE, I DON'T

LIKE THAT.

THE REASON WHY YOU MAY NOT LIKE

THAT IS BECAUSE WE ARE NOT USED

TO FATHERS MAKING IT ABOUT THEM.

AND I WOULD BE THE FIRST PERSON

TO SAY, I DON'T THINK THAT HE'S

MAKING IT ABOUT HIM MORE SO THAN

SHOWING UNWAVERING SUPPORT, AND

IT MAY NOT LOOK LIKE HOW YOU ARE

USED TO A FATHER LOOKING LIKE.

SO FROM ONE PARENT TO ANOTHER,

AS LONG AS YOUR CHILD SAYS, DAD,

MOM, AND HE KNOWS THAT YOU ARE

THERE AS A PARENT, THEN MY HAT

GOES OFF TO YOU.

[APPLAUSE]

Ashley: YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.

MY TAKE ON IT IS THIS: I FEEL

LIKE JA MORANT IS A GROWN MAN

WITH A CHILD.

SO HOW MUCH CONTROL DO YOU

EXPECT HIS FATHER TO HAVE OVER

HIM WHEN IT COMES TO HIS ACTIONS

AND HIS DECISION-MAKING?

YES, OBVIOUSLY THE GUIDANCE OF

YOUR PARENTS IS IMPORTANT AT ANY

AGE, YOU GO TO YOUR PARENTS, YOU

GO TO YOUR ELDERS, WHOEVER IT IS

IN YOUR FAMILY THAT YOU LOOK FOR

OR LOOK TO FOR GUIDANCE.

BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, AFTER

A CERTAIN POINT, YOUR DECISIONS

ARE YOUR DECISIONS, AND WHATEVER

COMES OF THOSE DECISIONS IS YOUR

RESPONSIBILITY.

TEAM MORANT IS TEAM MORANT.

I'M YOUR FATHER, NOT A PLAYER ON

THE COURT.

IT'S YOUR JOB TO SHOW UP AND DO

YOUR JOB PART OF THE MEMPHIS

GRIZZLIES WHETHER YOU WANT TO BE

THERE OR NOT.

WHY IS IT HIS PROBLEM AS HIS

FATHER TO MAKE SURE HIS SON ASK

RIGHT?

HE'S A 20 PLUS-YEAR-OLD MAN WITH

A KID.

Cam: WE ARE CONDEMNING THE

FATHER FOR FATHERING OR TRYING

TO FATHER, BUT OUR OWN KIND,

THIS AIN'T COMING FROM THE

PROPAGANDA THAT PEOPLE WILL SAY.

LaVAR BALL, RICHARD WILLIAMS.

LIKE, THIS IS SOMETHING

DIFFERENT.

HE IS GETTING RIDICULED ON HIS

OWN.

THAT'S NOT -- I'M NOT TRYING TO

MAKE THAT POINT MORE THAN

SAYING, HEY, WE ARE LOOKING AT T

AS AN INDIVIDUAL THAT'S LIKE,

HEY, BRO, YOU'RE DOING TOO MUCH.

PER WHAT WE ARE REPORTING NOW.

HE TAKE ISSUE WITH HIS SON'S

TREATMENT, AND HE TOOK TWO

LETTER HE REPOST CRITICISM AND

RESPOND TO IT, AND HIS SON HAD

THIS TO SAY.

I DON'T MAKE A BIG DEAL OF IT.

HE HAS HIS OPINIONS AND I HAVE

MINE AND HE FEELS THE NEED TO

VOICE THOSE THINGS ON

SOCIAL MEDIA, THAT'S HIS

PREROGATIVE.

HE SPEAKS FOR HIMSELF AND I

SPEAK FOR MYSELF.

WHICH I THINK AFTER A CERTAIN

POINT IS THE WAY YOU HANDLE IT.

OBVIOUSLY IT IS YOUR PANT'S

NATURE TO WANT TO DEFEND YOU,

AND WHEN YOU HAVE A KID OF YOUR

OWN, THAT TRICKLES DOWN TO YOU

AS A PARENT.

BUT IT ALSO, AFTER A CERTAIN

POINT, MUCH LIKE THE HALLIBURTON

SITUATION WITH TYRESE AND HIS

DAD, IS THAT TYRESE'S FAULT?

IS FATHERS RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS

OWN ACTIONS AND I THINK THAT

WORKS BOTH WAYS.

[APPLAUSE]

Cam: BUT AN ATHLETE, I AM

TRYNA TELL YOU.

I LOVE TYRESE HALIBURTON AND ALL

THE ENERGY HE PLAYS WITH, I'VE

THE ENERGY HE PLAYS WITH, I'VE

SAID IT BEFORE, HE CAUGHT THE

SPORT'S HOLY GHOST.

HE PROBABLY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HE

WAS ACTUALLY DOING GOING UP IN

FRONT OF GIANNIS' FACE AND

WHATEVER, IT IS WHAT IT IS.

EVERYONE HAS THEIR DIFFERENT

THINGS EVEN IF PATRICK MAHOMES'

FATHER A COUPLE YEARS BACK.

Ashley: HE IS A GENTLE

GIANT BUT WHAT IF HE RAN ACROSS

CAM NEWTON?

HOW WOULD THAT HAVE GONE?

Cam: AND THE FAMOUS WORDS

OF KANYE WEST, I GUESS YOU'LL

NEVER KNOW!

Ashley: LET US KNOW WHAT

YOU THINK USING THE HASHTAG.

Cam: YES, MA'AM.

COME ON, SIT DOWN.

Ashley: WE JUST HAD A

REUNION MOMENT, BECAUSE WHEN I

WAS AT "SPORTS ILLUSTRATED" ONCE

UPON A TIME, BIANCA CAME ON MY

SHOW AND WE GOT IN THE RING

TOGETHER.

WE WERE IN ORLANDO, IT WAS THE

Cam: WHAT?

Ashley: THIS IS A VERY

FULL-CIRCLE MOMENT.

Bianca: VERY FULL-CIRCLE

MOMENT.

Cam: .

Cam: FOR A LOT OF

INDIVIDUALS, THEY DON'T REALIZE

HOW ATHLETIC HE ACTUALLY HAVE TO

BE TO BE WRESTLING.

WHAT DID YOU DO, HOW DID YOU

TRAIN, AND HOW DID YOU BECOME

WHAT WE KNOW YOU TO BE NOW?

Bianca: MY JOURNEY INTO WWE

IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN A

LOT OF PEOPLE WHEN I FIRST CAME

IN.

A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN

WATCHING WRESTLING SINCE THEY

WERE LIKE FIVE, AND THEY DREAMED

OF BEING WWE CHAMPION.

I DID NOT.

I RAN TRACK, I DID GYMNASTICS,

CHEERLEADING, SOCCER, ALMOST

EVERY SPORT IN THE BOOK.

IN COLLEGE I WAS A COLLEGIATE

HURDLER AND THEN I WENT INTO

CROSSFIT, I WAS POWERLIFTING AND

MAKING AND SELLING MY OWN

OUTFITS.

HE SAW A VIDEO OF ME AND WAS

LIKE, YOU'VE GOT EVERYTHING

YOU'VE GOT THAT IT TAKES TO BE

WRESTLING, AND I HAD NO IDEA

WHAT I WAS GETTING MYSELF INTO,Y

SPORT IN THE BOOK AND I'VE BEEN

ABLE TO USE THAT TO GET INTO

WRESTLING AND THAT'S WHAT I THIS

MAYBE SUCCESSFUL IN WWE.

MY JOURNEY IS DIFFERENT BUT IT

FOUND ME.

RIGHT.

BUT I FEEL LIKE WHAT HAS MADE

YOU SO SUCCESSFUL AND SO

DIFFERENT IS THAT YOU'VE BEEN IN

TOUCH WITH YOUR FEMININITY BUT

ALSO YOUR POWER.

THE WAY SHE WALKED OUT IS HOW

SHE WALKS OUT IN THE RING, THE

PONYTAIL SWINGING, THE MAKEUP,

THE LOOKS.

YES, ALL OF IT!

[APPLAUSE]

LISTEN, ONE OF THE BEST IN YOUR

SPORT IN SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS,

BUT WE HAVE GOT TO TALK ABOUT

WRESTLEMANIA.

YOU OBVIOUSLY SUSTAINED AN

INJURY EARLIER THIS YEAR.

HOW HAVE YOU BEEN DEALING WITH

IT?

AND TELL US ABOUT HOW THE INJURY

OCCURRED.

Bianca: I BROKE MY KNUCKLE.

NOT MY FINGER, I BROKE THE

JOINTS.

IT IS SOMETHING I THOUGHT WOULD

BE A VERY STRAIGHTFORWARD 8-12

WEEKS.

IT'S BEEN ALMOST SIX MONTHS AT

THIS POINT.

BUT IT WAS WRESTLEMANIA AND I

WAS IN A TRIPLE THREAT, AND WE

WERE GOING TO THE TOP ROBES,

BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT WE DO, WE

CAME OFF THE TOP ROPE AND RHEA

LANDED STRAIGHT ON MY HAND AND

IT CRUSHED EVERYTHING IN MY

FINGER.

IT'S BEEN A CRAZY JOURNEY.

BEING AN ATHLETE AND HAVING AN

INJURY, YOU RELY ON YOUR BODY IN

MY BODY IS NOT DOING WHAT IT IS

SUPPOSED TO DO, BUT I HOPE I CAN

BE IN THE RING SOON.

Cam: HOW DOES ONE BE PART

OF THE STORY LINES?

Bianca: A LOT OF PEOPLE

THINK WE GO IN AND HIT EACH

OTHER OVER THE HEAD WITH CHAIRS

AND DO MOVES.

IT IS SO MUCH MORE TO THAT.

IT'S A STORY.

THAT IS REALLY WHAT IT EVOKES

PEOPLE'S EMOTIONS, THROUGH THE

STORY.

THAT'S WHAT GETS PEOPLE TO FEEL

SOMETHING.

YOU HAVE A GOOD STORY YOU HAVE

TO HAVE A GOOD GUY AND A BAD

GUY.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE DO.

IF YOU COME TO A SHOW, YOU'LL BE

CHEERING OR BOOING DEPENDING

WITH US OR IS.

Ashley: I DON'T KNOW HOW

FAMILIAR YOU ARE WITH

WRESTLEMANIA CROWDS AND

EVERYTHING LIKE THAT.

Cam: VERY.

Ashley: EVERY TIME IN A

CROWD YOU SEE THE INTIMATES

PONYTAIL AND LITTLE GIRLS

WEARING THEIR PONIES AND

SWINGING IT.

I THINK THAT REPRESENTATION AND

THAT IMPACT, THE BEAUTY AND THE

BEAST, IF YOU WILL, IT IS

IMPORTANT TO SEE THAT.

Cam: WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO

THE PERSON WATCHING THIS FOR THE

MINORITY, OR JUST WOMEN IN

GENERAL, DID THE MAT GIVE THEM

THE CONFIDENCE TO SAY THIS IS A

DOPE THING TO BE PART OF?

AND WHAT ACTIONS SHOULD THEY

TAKE TO BECOME ONE?

Bianca: I LOVE MEETING

PEOPLE WHO SAY, I USED TO WATCH

WRESTLING.

OR, IT'S NOT REALLY FOR ME.

THAT USED TO BE ME.

I WAS ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WHEN I

FIRST GOT INTO IT.

I WAS LIKE, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT

THIS.

I COMPLETELY FELL IN LOVE WITH

IT.

JUST COME TO A SHOWING OF ALL

LIVE WITH IT.

ANYBODY THAT WANTS TO GET INTO

IT, IT'S A POSSIBILITY.

ESPECIALLY FOR BLACK WOMEN, THE

DOOR IS OPEN FOR ANY OF YOU.

I HOPE LITTLE GIRLS SEE

THEMSELVES IN ME.

THAT'S WHY AT MY LAST

WRESTLEMANIA I HAD A WHOLE BUNCH

OF LITTLE GIRLS ON STAGE,

BECAUSE I DON'T WANT THEM TO

JUST SEE THEMSELVES IN ME, I

WANT THEM TO SEE THEMSELVES THAT

THEY ARE TO KNOW THAT THIS IS A

POSSIBILITY.

THIS IS A DOOR THAT IS OPEN FOR

YOU.

IT'S NOT A THING WHERE THERE IS

JUST SPACE FOR ONE OF US.

IT IS SO MANY BLACK WOMEN IN WWE

RIGHT NOW, AND THEY ARE KILLING

IT, AND WE ARE SO DIFFERENT.

THERE'S ROOM FOR EVERYBODY.

Ashley: ABSOLUTELY.

[APPLAUSE]

IT IS TIME FOR US TO GET INTO

THE THIRD TOPIC ON OUR

COUNTDOWN, AND IT IS AN

IMPORTANT ONE AND ONE THAT IS

IMPOSSIBLE TO IGNORE.

THE SPORTS WORLD IS STILL

PROCESSING THE TRAGIC PASSING OF

THE YOUNG DEFENSIVE END FOR THE

DALLAS COWBOYS' DEATH HAS

REOPENED THE CONVERSATION ABOUT

MENTAL HEALTH AND SPORTS.

Cam: IT'S HER MIND THAT

BEHIND THE HIGHLIGHTS AND

CONTRACTS, THESE ATHLETES ARE

STILL HUMAN.

THE PRESSURE TO PERFORM, TO

PLEASE, TO STAY PERFECT, IT ALL

ADDS UP AND TAKES A TOLL.

Ashley: PLAYERS LIKE

DAK PRESCOTT, BRANDON MARSHALL,

AND NOAH LYLES HAVE BEEN HONEST

ABOUT THEIR MENTAL HEALTH AND

HOW IT'S AFFECTED THEIR

PERFORMANCE AND THEIR LIVES.

SIMONE BILES AND NAOMI OSAKA HAD

ALSO SAID THE SAME.

Cam: I WILL SAY THIS, AND

I'M CURIOUS TO HEAR YOUR POINT

TO BIANCA.

THE REALITY IS, I CHALLENGE THE

SUPPORT SYSTEM.

I'M NOT SPEAKING ON MARSHAWN'S

SPECIFIC SITUATION.

BUT, HEY, BRO, ARE YOU GOOD?

NO, NO.

ARE YOU REALLY GOOD?

BECAUSE THE THING THAT WE ALL

HAVE IN US IS, I HAVE TO FIGURE

IT OUT BY MYSELF.

THAT'S NOT THE CASE.

THOSE TYPE OF CONNECTIONS CAN

SAVE A LIFE.

SO, BIANCA, WHEN YOU HEAR THE

SITUATION ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH,

WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON IT?

Bianca: I THINK MENTAL

HEALTH IS SO IMPORTANT.

I THINK IT'S AMAZING THAT A LOT

OF ATHLETES ARE SPEAKING UP

ABOUT IT NOW AND BEING MORE

VOCAL ABOUT IT, BECAUSE I FEEL

LIKE, AS AN ATHLETE, WE ARE

LOOKED AT AS SUPERHEROES IN

WHATEVER FIELD THEY ARE IN.

SOMETIMES WE THINK WE HAVE TO

LIVE UP TO THAT, AND SOMETIMES

WE ARE NOT REALLY BEING OUR TRUE

SELVES WHEN WE ARE OUT THERE.

WE ARE PUTTING EVERYTHING TO THE

SIDE SO WE CAN GO OUT AND

PERFORM, AND WHEN WE GO HOME, WE

ARE DEALING WITH THESE THINGS.

SOMETIMES THE PEOPLE CLOSEST TO

US MAY NOT EVEN NOTICE THE

SIGNS.

BUT YOU HAVE TO LEAN ON YOUR

SUPPORT SYSTEM AND TRUST THAT

THEY WILL BE THERE FOR YOU.

I ALSO THINK THAT NOW, WITH

ATHLETES, IT'S ANOTHER LAYER TO

IT.

YOU'RE NOT JUST AN ATHLETE, YOU

ARE A SOCIAL MEDIA INFLUENCER

AND A SOCIAL MEDIA SIDE TIES

INTO THAT.

PEOPLE AND FRIENDS, FAMILY AND

FANS, YOU HAVE TO APPROACH AN

ATHLETE WITH GRACE, KNOW THAT

THEY ARE HUMANS, AND SOMETIMES

IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THEY'VE HAD

AN AMAZING GAME.

IN THAT MOMENT, YESTERDAY

DOESN'T MATTER AND YOU CAN'T SEE

THE FUTURE.

IT'S ONLY WHAT'S HAPPENING RIGHT

THEN AND THERE.

SO SOMETIMES YOU PULL UP ON THAT

PERSON.

MAYBE I'M BEING ANNOYING, I

DON'T KNOW, BUT MAYBE YOU NEED

THIS RIGHT NOW.

Cam: IT IS LIKE, BE

INTRUSIVE, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M

SAYING?

IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS LIKE, WE

HAVE SO MUCH ACCESS TO US AS

PUBLIC FIGURES.

THE X, INSTAGRAM, TIKTOK.

ONE COMMENT CAN HAVE A PERSON

SPIRALING.

DON'T LET IT HAPPEN.

DON'T LET IT BE YOU.

UNDERSTAND EVERYBODY IS ENTITLED

TO THEIR OWN OPINION.

Ashley: WE HAD A

CONVERSATION ABOUT IMPOSTER

SYNDROME.

AT THE TIME I WAS SO EARLY IN MY

CAREER, THAT WASN'T SOMETHING

THAT EVER REALLY WAS A BURDEN TO

ME.

I HEARD IT, I HEARD WHAT IT

MEANT, I KNEW WHAT IT MEANT, BUT

IT WASN'T SOMETHING THAT REALLY

INFILTRATED AND AFFECTED MY

LIFE.

I WILL SAY, AS I HAVE GROWN IN

MY CAREER, THE IMPOSTER SYNDROME

GETS MORE AND MORE RELEVANT.

I'LL BE VERY HONEST, OBVIOUSLY

NOT BEING AN ATHLETE AND NOT

KNOWING WHAT THAT STRUGGLE IS

LIKE, BUT I JUST HAD AN EPISODE

OF IMPOSTER SYNDROME NOT THAT

LONG AGO.

BUT I WANT EVERYONE IN HIS ROOM

TO KNOW THAT THERE ARE SO MANY

DAYS THAT I WAKE UP, OR I'M

GOING TO THE SET, AND I

QUESTION, AM I GOOD ENOUGH?

AM I DOING A GOOD ENOUGH JOB?

IS MY IMPACT ENOUGH?

DO I DESERVE TO BE IN THIS

POSITION?

I DON'T WANT ANYONE TO EVER LOOK

AT ME OR ANYONE ON THIS SET AND

THINK WE DON'T HAVE THOSE DAYS,

OR I DON'T HAVE THOSE DAYS.

I JUST MASTERED THE ABILITY TO

WORK THROUGH IT AND I WANT

EVERYONE TO KNOW, IT MAY BE A

DAY BUT IT'S NOT GOING TO BE

[APPLAUSE]

YOU KNOW?

SO IF YOU KNOW ANYONE WHO IS

STRUGGLING, PLEASE, PLEASE,

PLEASE KNOW THAT YOU ARE NOT

ALONE.

HELP IS AVAILABLE, AND REACHING

OUT IS A SIGN OF STRENGTH.

SECOND TOPIC ON OUR COUNTDOWN,

ALL ABOUT THE GRAMMYS.

DENOMINATIONS JUST DROPPED AND

MARCH MADNESS CHAMPIONSHIP.

Cam: MARCH MADNESS?

YOU'VE GOT KODAK.

Ashley: THE FIELD HAPPENS

TO BE A STAGE.

WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THE

NOMINATIONS?

LET ME GIVE YOU SOME INFORMATION

HERE IN CASE YOU DIDN'T SEE IT.

RAP IS COMING OUT BIG.

KENDRICK GOT THE NOMINATION FOR

ALBUM OF THE YEAR.

SO DID TYLER, THE CREATOR.

CLAP IT UP FOR THEM, FOR SURE.

[APPLAUSE]

IT'S THE FIRST TIME THAT THREE

RAP ALBUMS ARE IN THE CATEGORY

FOR ALBUM OF THE YEAR.

Cam: BUT THIS IS THE THING.

IT IS ALL ABOUT RIVALRIES, AS I

JUST MENTIONED.

DRAKE HAS STILL PRODUCED GREAT

MUSIC ALONG THE WAY.

FOR THOSE PEOPLE THAT DON'T WANT

TO ACKNOWLEDGE, I THINK AS FANS

WE GET THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS.

IT REALLY CHALLENGES GREAT

ARTISTRY TO BE HAD, AND I

APPRECIATE THAT.

NOT JUST FROM KENDRICK'S PETTY

SIDE, DRAKE'S SIDE, AS WELL,

TOO, I'M JUST HERE FOR ALL

ARTISTS THAT HAVE THAT PLATFORM

TO DO SO.

HERE WE GO!

BEFORE YOU GO, WE WANT TO PLAY A

LITTLE GAME, AND IT'S TIME FOR

FOR --

[APPLAUSE]

Ashley: NO DODGING, NO P.R.

ANSWERS.

YOU HAVE TO KEEP IT 100,

AUTHENTIC.

THE BALL IS IN YOUR COURT, OR IN

YOUR BEING, I SHOULD SAY.

IS EVERYBODY READY TO PLAY?

ROUND ONE IS GOING TO BE ALL

ABOUT WHO YOU WOULD WANT AS YOUR

TAG TEAM PARTNER.

THESE AREN'T GOING TO BE YOUR

USUAL NAMES, OKAY?

THESE AREN'T GOING TO BE

WRESTLERS.

JUST GOING TO GIVE YOU THE HEADS

UP.

IT IS GOING TO BE A COMBINATION

OF...

JOSELINE HERNANDEZ, THE

PUERTO RICAN PRINCESS, NATALIE

NUNN, AND TERESA GIUDICE FROM

THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF

NEW JERSEY.

Bianca: I'VE GOT TO START

WITH JOSELINE.

Cam: THE PUERTO RICAN

PRINCESS!

Bianca: AT THAT POINT,

SHE'S MY TAG TEAM PARTNER, SHE

MIGHT NOT EVEN HAVE TO TAG ME

IN.

Cam: SHE GON' TAKE OVER.

Bianca: THAT THE EASY NIGHT

FOR ME.

SHE'S GOING TO GET THE TITLE FOR

US.

SO DIFFERENTLY STARTING

JOSELINE.

I THINK I'M GOING TO TRADE

NATALIE.

[APPLAUSE]

Ashley: YOU WILL NOT GET

YOUR BADDIE CHAIN THIS TIME,

NATALIE NUNN.

ANY REASON WHY?

Bianca: SHE STAYS ACTIVE.

I'M GOING TO TRADE OR SOMEWHERE

AND SHE CAN STILL BE HIS.

BUT I MIGHT BE FIGHTING AGAINST

HER IF I TRADE HER.

Ashley: SO TERESA ON THE

BENCH?

SHE CAN SLIP SOME CHAIRS.

Bianca: WILL PUT HER

BACKSTAGE OR SOMETHING.

Ashley: ROUND TWO, WHO IS

THE MOST STYLISH WWE SUPERSTAR

OUTSIDE OF YOURSELF?

WE'VE GOT CODY RHODES, AND WE

HAVE SETH ROLLINS.

Bianca: I'M STARTING JADE.

Ashley: I KNOW THAT'S RIGHT

RIGHT.

Bianca: ON THE SCREEN --

Ashley: AND THE HAIR IS

ALWAYS LATE.

Cam: SHE'S LIKE A

MODERN-DAY VERSION OF STORM.

Bianca: FACE TEA, OUTFIT,

HAIR, EVERYTHING.

AND I'M GOING TO TRADE SETH, AND

THEN I'MA BENCH CODY BECAUSE I

FEEL LIKE HE PLAYS IT SAFE.

Ashley: VERY CLASSIC.

Bianca: FOR WRESTLING

SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO TAKE

RISKS.

Cam: CANNOT INSERT ONE?

I WANT TO INSERT ONE.

MY START, BENCH, TRADE, I GREW

UP WATCHING WRESTLING IN A TIME

WHERE IT WAS THE ATTITUDE, YOU

KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?

WHO IS THE GREATEST SMACK-TALKER

ABOUT TIME?

THE ROCK, STONE COLD, OR

RIC FLAIR?

Ashley: WOW!

Cam: YOU'VE GOT

DWAYNE JOHNSON.

Ashley: CAN YOU SMELL...

Cam: WHAT THE ROCK IS

COOKING?

Bianca: I'M STARTING THE

ROCK.

[APPLAUSE]

THIS ONE IS HARD.

I'M GOING TO BENCH RIC FLAIR.

AND TRADING STONE COLD.

Ashley: I'M NOT MAD AT IT.

Bianca: I THINK THIS WHOLE

THING IS A LOSE-LOSE.

Cam: LITERALLY.

Ashley: THAT MIGHT GO ON

THE RECORD IS THE HARDEST

"START, BENCH, TRADE" ON

"106 & SPORTS."

Cam: THAT'S COOL, I GOT

HELP FROM THE CROWD!

GIVE MEAT TO COAT CLAPS AND A

BRICKLAYER!

WOOOOOOO!

Ashley: WOULD US TO HAVE IN

THE WORKS?

Bianca: I'LL BE BACK IN THE

RING SOON, HOPEFULLY SOONER THAN

LATER.

WE HAVE THE SURVIVOR SERIES

COMING UP THIS THANKSGIVING

WEEKEND ON ESPN.

SO Y'ALL TUNE IN FOR THAT.

I'M ALSO WORKING ON A CHILDREN'S

BOOK THAT WILL HOPEFULLY COME

OUT.

SUPER EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

[APPLAUSE]

Cam: EVERYBODY MAKE SOME

NOISE FOR OUR BIANCA BELAIR!

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]

Ashley: WE WANT TO KNOW WHO

YOU WOULD START, BENCH, OR

TRADE.

LET US KNOW USING A HASHTAG.

MORE "106 & SPORTS" IS ON THE

WAY!

♪ ♪

[APPLAUSE]

Ashley: HELLO, HELLO,

EVERYBODY, AND WELCOME BACK TO

"106 & SPORTS."

OUR NUMBER ONE STORY TODAY IS

ABOUT OUR FIRST EVER GUEST ON

THIS VERY SHOW, AND THAT IS

CLARESSA SHIELDS.

SHE JUST MADE HISTORY.

[APPLAUSE]

SEE ONE SHE JUST SIGNED ONE OF

THE BIGGEST CONTRACTS EVER IN

WOMEN'S BOXING HISTORY, AND

$8 MILLION DEAL.

WHO IS FROM MICHIGAN?

WHO FROM DETROIT?

Ashley: SHE'S ALREADY WON

TWO OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALS AND IS

THE FIRST BOXER, MALE OR FEMALE,

TO HOLD ALL FOUR MAJOR TITLES.

AND NOW SHE HAS THE BAG, TOO.

THE BIGGEST QUESTION NOW, DOES

THIS MAKE HER THE GWOAT, THE

GREATEST WOMAN OF ALL TIME?

I WANT TO MAKE SURE I READ THIS

AND READ IT VERY CAREFULLY

BEFORE WE DISCUSSED, OKAY?

SHE IS NOW OFFICIALLY THE

HIGHEST-PAID FEMALE BOXER IN

HISTORY, SIGNING THE $8 MILLION

GUARANTEED MULTI-FIGHT DEAL,

BIGGER THAN THE COMBINED CAREER

EARNINGS OF SOME OF HER MALE

PEERS.

THAT IS A POWER MOVE THAT PUTS

HER IN HER OWN LEAGUE.

[APPLAUSE]

Cam: THE ONLY THING I DO

NOT LIKE ABOUT THIS --

Ashley: UH-OH.

Cam: FOR EVERY GREAT

FIGHTER, WHETHER IT'S UFC OR

BOXING, WHAT DO THEY NEED?

A GREAT RIVAL.

WHO IS HER ARRIVAL?

SHE BEEN WHUPPING ERRBODY!

SHE JUST STEPS ON ALL THE

COMPETITION.

I NEED THEIR RIVALS TO STEP

FRONT AND REALLY HOLD THEIR OWN.

BECAUSE WE ALREADY KNOW WHAT TO

EXPECT IF WE HEAR THAT "DING,

DING, DING."

IT DON'T NECESSARILY MATTER.

I WANT THAT.

WE WANT THAT AS FANS OF THE

SPORT.

CONGRATULATIONS TO CLARESSA.

Ashley: BUT IF SHE IS THE

GREATEST, THAT MEANS YOU'RE IN A

LEAGUE AND A LANE OF YOUR OWN.

YOU THINK ABOUT SOME OF THE

RIVALRIES IN BOXING, YOU TALK

ABOUT HER MALE COUNTERPARTS,

THERE WERE A LOT OF GREATS AT

THE SAME TIME.

YOU THINK ABOUT HOLYFIELD AND

TYSON, YOU THINK ABOUT PACQUIAO

AND MAYWEATHER, SOME OF THE

OTHER MATCHES.

THERE'S NOBODY ON HER LEVEL.

EVERYONE SHE FIGHTS IS

ESSENTIALLY FIGHTING DOWN, NO?

Cam: YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I

SAID THE ONLY THING I DON'T LIKE

IS THAT SHE DOESN'T HAVE A RIVA

RIVAL.

ANYBODY THAT FIGHTS CLARESSA

KNOWS THAT IT'S NOT JUST A

UPHILL BATTLE, IT IS A STEEP

BATTLE.

BOY, OH, BOY, SHE'S ON HER

THRONE, AND SHE GON' WHUP YA.

Ashley: WHO DO YOU WANT TO

SEE HER FIGHT?

Cam: DON'T GIVE ME THE

LINE.

I JUST CHALLENGE EVERYBODY IN

THAT DIVISION IN HER WEIGHT

CLASS TO REALLY START TO MAKE

NOISE.

Ashley: AND STEP UP.

Cam: WE WANT TO SEE IT.

Ashley: MAYBE WE NEED

SOMEONE TO CALL HER OUT.

Cam: I THINK SOMEBODY DID

CALL HER AT!

LAILA, THAT'S YOU?

WHEN YOU SEE A SITUATION LIKE

CLARESSA, THE TALK OF HER AND

LAILA, WHAT I WANT TO SEE THAT

ABSOLUTELY NOT.

BUT THERE ARE WORTHY OPPONENTS

THAT SHOULD HAVE OPPORTUNITIES,

BUT JUST MAKE IT INTERESTING.

I REALLY WANT TO SEE HOW GREAT

SHE CAN BE.

Ashley: GET YOUR DON

KING ON, MAKE IT HAPPEN.

[APPLAUSE]

THAT'S GOING TO DO IT FOR US.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ROCKING

WITH US AS USUAL.

WE WANT YOU TO HIT US UP USING

OUR HASHTAG.

CAM, TAKE US AWAY WITH THE LAST

WORD.

Cam: IN THE STATE OF THIS

WORLD THAT WE LIVE IN AS

INDIVIDUALS, AS A UNIT, AS A

NATION, I WANT YOU TO GRAB THE

PERSON'S HAND THAT YOU ARE

SITTING NEXT TO AND

COLLECTIVELY, ONE OF MY FAVORITE

MOVIES IS HOME ALONE.

THEY HAVE A QUOTE.

"WE LOVE YOU, WE REALLY, REALLY

LOVE YOU!"

AS ALWAYS, ONE FINGER, ONE

PINKY, ONE THUMB, ONE LOVE.

APPRECIATE YOU GUYS.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.
