Bianca Belair made her long-awaited return to WWE at WrestleMania 42, and her appearance came with quite the surprise announcement.
Belair has been out with a hand injury since last year. She suffered an injury during her triple threat match against Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania 41. Belair has been rehabbing her finger after having surgery to repair the issue. She reportedly began light training towards a WWE in-ring return, but said that her progress wasn’t at a point that she had hoped it would be.
John Cena came to the ring at WrestleMania 42 to announce the night one attendance, which he said was 50,816. Belair then came to the ring and said you can’t have WrestleMania without EST and said she had another surprise.
Bianca Belair unzipped her blue gown and revealed she had a baby bump, confirming that she and her husband, WWE Superstar Montez Ford, are expecting a baby together.
On a humorous note, Cena then updated the attendance total to 50,817 to reflect the baby being in the building.

During a recent interview with Shak Wrestling, Rhea Ripley said she really misses Belair and said her absence is felt by everyone backstage.
“It’s honestly not the same without Bianca there. I miss her. I hope that she comes back soon, but at the same time, I also hope she’s living her best life, not having to go to work for a little bit. She’s busted her ass for so long. They’ve literally made her do so much and work so much. She deserves the time off,” Ripley said.
It looks like the WWE locker room will be without Belair for a bit longer, but it’s for a great reason. Congratulations to the happy couple!
