It’s been a long time coming, but here she finally is: The “EST of WWE” Bianca Belair has finally returned<\/a> at WWE WrestleMania 42<\/a>. The reason for Belair’s absence was due to an injury she sustained at last year’s WrestleMania 41, where she put on a show in probably the best Triple Threat Match of all-time with Rhea Ripley and then-WWE Women’s World Champion IYO SKY for the aforementioned championship<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The final time we saw Bianca Belair on our TV screens was on the second-ever all-women’s exclusive Premium Live Event, WWE Evolution, wherein she was in the middle of two former friends, Jade Cargill and Naomi, in their No Holds Barred Match. Since then, we haven’t heard a peep from the EST of WWE, and the WWE Universe has been clamoring for her return<\/a> for almost a year now.<\/p>\n

You know what they say, ask, and you shall receive. Bianca Belair rolls into WWE WrestleMania 42 and immediately makes a big impact, as well as a warm welcome back into the fold via the live crowd watching the event in Las Vegas, Nevada.<\/p>\n

And when we say make a big impact, we mean in a bigger way. Right after the Women’s World Title Match<\/a>, the guest host of WrestleMania 42, John Cena, proudly announced that Night 1 of the event managed to rake in 50,816 people into the Allegiant Stadium. Big news, right, WWE Universe?<\/p>\n

Before we could even breathe, Bianca Belair would enter WrestleMania 42 in full garb, sporting a stunning Blue robe, looking amazing as ever. Belair said that surprises are a huge part of WrestleMania 42<\/a>, so she wanted to make one more announcement. Belair would take off her robe, revealing a baby bump, announcing her pregnancy with WWE star and husband Montez Ford.<\/p>\n

John Cena would correct himself, saying it’s 50,816, who’s in attendance, but 50,817. What a moment, WWE Universe at WrestleMania 42. Congratulations to the soon-to-be new parents, Bianca Belair and Montez Ford!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
