Bianca Belair has been on an injury hiatus from WWE, and it has now been over six months since she last competed for the company. Despite her time away from the ring, she was recently spotted making appearances during her recovery period.
In April 2025, Bianca Belair faced Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY in a triple threat match for the WWE Women’s World Championship at WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas. During the event, she was pinned for the first time at The Grandest Stage of Them All. Shortly after WrestleMania, the 36-year-old WWE star went on hiatus due to a broken finger, which sidelined her as an in-ring performer for a while.
While she didn’t wrestle during her recovery, Bianca made sporadic appearances for the promotion. Notably, she officiated a No Holds Barred match between Jade Cargill and Naomi, showcasing her continued involvement with WWE programming. However, in the following months, she did not make any further appearances, and reports emerged that her injury was more severe than initially expected.
Recently, Bianca Belair, along with her real-life husband Montez Ford, appeared on Zelina Vega and Dakota Kai’s YouTube channel, ZELVX and CHARLIE GIRL. The popular couple engaged in games and lighthearted conversations with the hosts. On a positive note, Belair was not wearing a cast on her injured finger during the appearance and took part in various activities, suggesting that she has made significant progress in her recovery.
It appears that Bianca Belair has healed well from her injury, and it’s only a matter of time before she returns to WWE as a full-time competitor.
### When Can Bianca Belair Return to WWE?
In 2024, Bianca Belair spent much of her time in WWE as a tag team wrestler alongside Jade Cargill on Friday Night SmackDown following WrestleMania XL. The duo teamed up and dominated the women’s tag team division across all three brands for several months.
The EST and The Storm held the women’s tag team titles twice during their reigns. However, heading into WWE Survivor Series: WarGames, Belair had to replace Cargill with Naomi. After losing the titles to The Judgment Day’s Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez, Belair punched her ticket to WrestleMania 41.
Since WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas, Bianca Belair has not competed for WWE. According to reports from Bodyslam, The EST is expected to make her return in early 2026. Fans will be eager to see if she can get back in time for major events like the Royal Rumble and WrestleMania 42 in the coming months.
