When WWE Believe Bianca Belair Will Return To TV Revealed

Bianca Belair has been gone from WWE TV for much of 2025, but the former WWE Women's Champion may not be away for too much longer.

BodySlam has reported that the belief within WWE is Bianca Belair will be returning to the company's programming in the "early stages of 2026." WWE are feeling hopeful about the current timeline for Belair's return, but they also know there is a chance that Belair's return could take place earlier than expected.

Should Belair return in early 2026, the Royal Rumble could be a possibility for her comeback, with the show due to take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on January 31. The Royal Rumble often features surprises, although they could be reduced in 2026 due to the show being held in the Middle East.

Belair has been out of action since she suffered a broken finger during her Triple Threat match against Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY at WrestleMania 41 back in April. Belair's injury was worse than initially believed as her knuckle was affected, Fightful has reported.

Belair has made appearances on WWE TV while out of action, notably serving as the special guest referee for the Street Fight between Jade Cargill and Naomi at July's Evolution pay-per-view.
