The EST of WWE has been out of action since April 2025.
‘The EST of WWE’ Bianca Belair underwent finger surgery in early 2026 while continuing her extended hiatus from WWE programming. She has been out of in-ring action since WrestleMania last year, with her latest television appearance taking place at Evolution 2.
Belair suffered a broken knuckle during the WrestleMania 41 triple-threat match for the Women’s World title against reigning Champion Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley in Las Vegas, an injury that has kept her sidelined ever since.
She has also served as the special guest referee in the no-holds-barred match between her two friends, Jade Cargill and Naomi, at Evolution 2 PLE in 2025.
Her last appearance came during WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas, Nevada, where she made a surprise appearance to announce that she and Montez Ford are expecting their first child together.
