Bianca Belair spotted outside WWE amid injury hiatus

Bianca Belair has been on an injury hiatus from WWE, and it's been over six months since she last wrestled for the company. Meanwhile, she was recently spotted amid her hiatus.

In April 2025, Bianca Belair faced Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY for the Women's World Championship at WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas and got pinned for the first time at The Grandest Stage of Them All. After the event, the 36-year-old WWE star went on a hiatus as she broke her finger and was on the shelf as a performer for a while.

While she didn't wrestle, she made sporadic appearances for the promotion and officiated a No Holds Barred match between Jade Cargill and Naomi. In the coming months, she didn't appear for the company, and it was reported that her injury was much worse than expected.

Recently, Bianca Belair and her real-life husband, Montez Ford, appeared on Zelina Vega and Dakota Kai's YouTube channel called ZELVX and CHARLIE GIRL. The popular couple played games and had conversations with the hosts of the show.

On the bright side, The EST was not wearing any cast on her injured finger and took part in some lighthearted activities with the rest. It looks like Belair has healed well, and it'll only be a matter of time before she returns to the Stamford-based promotion as a full-time performer.

When can Bianca Belair return to WWE?

In 2024, Bianca Belair spent most of her time in the Stamford-based promotion as a tag team wrestler alongside Jade Cargill on Friday Night SmackDown following WrestleMania XL. The two decided to team up and dominated the women's tag team division for months to come across all three brands in the company.

The EST and The Storm had two reigns in the promotion as champions, and Belair was forced to replace Cargill with Naomi heading into WWE Survivor Series: WarGames. After losing the titles to The Judgment Day's Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez, the multi-time Women's Champion punched her ticket to WrestleMania 41.

After the event in Las Vegas, Nevada, Bianca Belair hasn't wrestled for the company. According to Bodyslam, The EST is expected to return in early 2026. It'll be interesting to see if Belair can make it back in time for Royal Rumble and WrestleMania 42 in the coming months.
