Bianca Belair Taking Time Off From WWE

Bianca Belair was written off WWE television after an injury angle that took place on last week’s episode of WWE SmackDown. The angle featured Belair being attacked by Damage CTRL in a backstage segment.

According to a report from Fightful Select, the reason she was written off WWE television is due to some pre-planned time off.

WWE was well aware of the fact that Belair would be taking some time off and it was factored into their creative plans. As of this writing, there is no word on how long she will be away. The reports vary from it being less than a month to as much as three months.

Finally, it was added that Belair has received high praise for her WWE Women’s Championship reign and the amount of media and community events she attends.

Charlotte Flair Appeared On WWE NXT Following Rhea Ripley’s WrestleMania Challenge

Former NXT star Charlotte Flair returned to the brand on Wednesday night and learned there’s more unity on the roster than she remembered.

As you’ll recall, Ripley showed up on Raw this week as Charlotte was announcing who she’d wrestle against at WrestleMania due to her Royal Rumble victory. Rhea then dared Flair to challenge for her NXT Championship.

Last night on NXT, Bianca Belair was in the ring talking about what happened with Flair/Rhea this week when “The Queen” interrupted the promo.

Flair then made her way to the ring and received a “welcome home” chant from the crowd.

Charlotte pointed out how Rhea seems to have overlooked Bianca before their TakeOver: Portland match, but Ripley cut her off by making her entrance. The three women then had a war of words that ended with Rhea telling Charlotte “we are NXT,” then taking her down with Bianca Belair.
