Bianca Belair gets new look amid WWE hiatus 

Bianca Belair hasn't been seen on WWE TV for several months, after it was confirmed that she broke her knuckle at WrestleMania in her match against Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky.

The former Women's Champion was part of Evolution when she stepped in as the Special Guest Referee for the match between Jade Cargill and Naomi, but she has since been rehabbing her injury.

During her time away, she has shown off a new look, curling her long hair that is usually in a braid. Belair almost looks unrecognisable when compared to the character she plays on-screen, since her hair is usually scraped back.

WWE fans have been pushing for Belair to make her return for several months since she is missed on the SmackDown brand, but it seems that she still has a way to go before she's ready to return.

Bianca Belair's injury is much worse than WWE initially feared

Bianca Belair was expected to return fairly quickly after the injury was first revealed, but it seems that she could be out for a while longer.

Belair herself recently revealed that her injury wasn't just a broken finger, as first believed; she actually broke her knuckle, which is why it's taking her much longer to return. The former Women's Champion has struggled to learn to use her finger again, and that's what is taking her so long to return.

At present, reports suggest that Belair could be looking at a return in 2026, even though many fans believe that Jade Cargill winning the Women's Championship could be so that she comes face-to-face with Belair in the near future.

It will be interesting to see how the former friends react when they are finally back in the same ring.
