Bianca Belair Reportedly Nearing Her In-Ring Return

– Bianca Belair, who has recently been out of action after suffering a broken finger at WrestleMania 41, is rumored to be nearing her in-ring return, per a new report from WrestleVotes.

WrestleVotes reports that Bianca Belair is “closing in on her return.” It’s noted that the former WWE Women’s Champion is expected to be cleared for action next week, and she could appear as soon as the post-SummerSlam edition of Friday Night SmackDown, scheduled for Friday, August 8.

The report also notes that Belair won’t be cleared ahead of WWE SummerSlam 2025, which is scheduled for this weekend. Bianca Belair did serve as the special guest referee for Jade Cargill and Naomi’s No Holds Barred Match earlier this month at WWE Evolution. Cargill was victorious in the bout. However, Naomi later cashed in her Money in the Bank briefcase later that night to win the WWE Women’s World Title.

Next week’s SummerSlam fallout edition of SmackDown is being held at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec. It will air live on USA Network starting at 8:00 pm EST.

According to sources, we are told Bianca Belair is closing in on her return. The former 3 time Women’s Champion is expected to be cleared for action this upcoming week and could appear as soon as the SmackDown following SummerSlam on 8/9. She won’t be cleared ahead of this…
