Injured WWE Star Tipped For Royal Rumble Return After 9-Month Absence

A huge WWE Superstar has been absent from in-ring competition since April 2025.

Bianca Belair last wrestled at WrestleMania 41, where she squared off with IYO SKY and Rhea Ripley in a Women’s World Championship match.

During the match, The EST of WWE suffered a legitimate injury, breaking her finger. She later appeared on SmackDown to confirm that she was taking time off to recover.

Although Belair returned to serve as Special Guest Referee in Naomi and Jade Cargill’s match at Evolution last July, she has yet to make a comeback to the ring.

Will Bianca Belair Return At WWE Royal Rumble

WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H has recently promised a lot of surprises for the upcoming Royal Rumble premium live event. On his Notsam Wrestling podcast, WWE analyst Sam Roberts discussed the potential returns.

The 42-year-old disclosed that he would love to see Bianca Belair make her comeback this Saturday in Saudi Arabia. Although he had predicted Liv Morgan to win the Women’s Royal Rumble, Roberts claimed a victory for the five-time champion would also be really good. The 36-year-old previously won the Women’s Royal in 2021.

In terms of the returns I wanna see, I would love to see Bianca Belair back for the Rumble. You know, Bianca winning the Royal Rumble would also be really, really good. [54:19 onwards]
