Bianca Belair has openly supported her husband, Montez Ford, following his recent return to wrestling action. Ford appeared at an NXT live event after a long absence, showcasing a noticeably bulkier and more muscular physique compared to his earlier appearances.
Fans speculated that Ford was intentionally building muscle and increasing his strength, but some online critics mocked his changed look, suggesting he had gained too much weight. Belair quickly responded to the criticism by posting a photo of Ford on her Instagram story with the caption, “so fine,” directly defending her husband’s new appearance.
Montez Ford’s Recent Wrestling Activity and Television Absence
Montez Ford’s last appearance on WWE television was in October 2025 during a tag team championship match alongside Angelo Dawkins against The Wyatt Sicks. Ford and Dawkins lost that match, which marked Ford’s final televised wrestling bout before his break. Though he has participated in NXT live events since then, his return to WWE programming on television has not yet occurred.
Bianca Belair’s Recovery After Surgery
Meanwhile, Bianca Belair has also been away from WWE due to a finger injury sustained last year at WrestleMania 41 in a Triple Threat match against Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY. Initially believed to be minor, the injury did not heal naturally despite nearly 10 months of rest. Belair underwent surgery to repair the broken finger in early February and is currently undergoing physical therapy. Reports indicate she is expected to miss WrestleMania 42 as she focuses on recovery.
Other WWE Updates
WWE continues to see shifts and updates among its roster, including notable championship changes on NXT and injury reports affecting several performers. Chelsea Green is sidelined with a broken ankle, while Drew McIntyre addressed the cancellation of a planned match involving John Cena’s WWE retirement tour. Meanwhile, MJF announced significant career decisions in AEW.
The Impact of Injuries on WWE’s Landscape
Injuries have also influenced WWE’s storytelling and schedules, such as Tiffany Stratton revealing details about her recent absence and Liv Morgan explaining storyline developments involving Dominik Mysterio. RAW had to adjust its plans following major star injuries, adding to the ongoing concerns about the toll these setbacks take on performers and programming stability.
