With The EST suffering a loss at WrestleMania, there are chances that she might return as a heel in the Stamford-based promotion. One of the ways for her heel turn could be that she cost The Storm the Money in the Bank qualifying match and reunites with the Bloodline member.

Recently, in a video, Bianca and Naomi were seen enjoying together personally, which sparked the chances of their reunion. Additionally, since the real-life Bloodline member is still engaged in a rivalry with Jade Cargill, if The EST and The Glow reunite, it's clear that she will cost Cargill the MITB qualifying match.

As of now, there is no confirmation regarding Belair's return on the upcoming SmackDown. However, she is being promoted on WWE's official site, which escalates the chances of her imminent return.

Why is Bianca Belair absent from WWE?

The reason The EST has been absent from the sports entertainment juggernaut is due to the unfortunate injury she sustained at this year's Grandest Stage of Them All. According to reports, Belair has been out after suffering several broken fingers in her 'Mania match.

This is the reason why the former Women's Champion has been away from in-ring action and has not been part of television since WrestleMania. Currently, Bianca has been rehabbing and is expected to make her return soon to WWE.

It will be interesting to see how the storyline evolves when The EST of WWE returns. Also, what plans does Triple H have for Bianca ahead of her comeback to the Stamford-based promotion?
