The last time Bianca Belair wrestled was a full year ago at last year’s WrestleMania in an instant classic. On Night 1 of WrestleMania 42 in Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, however, she made a surprise return to announce her pregnancy with her husband, fellow WWE star Montez Ford.

WrestleMania 42 host and WWE legend John Cena made his second appearance on Saturday night when he took to the ring to announce the show’s attendance at 50,816. Cena entered the ring directly after Liv Morgan’s Women’s World Championship win over Stephanie Vaquer, right before the evening’s main event match. Then, he was met by Belair, who has been absent from WWE programming since she suffered a nasty finger injury in her match last year against Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley.

Belair quickly corrected Cena, stating that there was a mistake in the attendance count. 

“Add one more,” she said, before revealing her baby bump and noting that she’ll remain sidelined for the foreseeable future.

The 37-year-old Belair has been a major player atop WWE’s women’s roster since she arrived and rose through NXT from 2016 to 2020. Belair quickly entered the world title scene and has won the top title three times, along with two Women’s Tag Team Championship title reigns alongside Naomi and current WWE Women’s Champion Jade Cargill.
