Bianca Belair WWE special referee duties have been confirmed as she prepares to return in a key officiating role at WWE Evolution. Fans will see her involved tomorrow in a No Holds Barred match between Jade Cargill and Naomi, marking her first official appearance since being last seen in Knoxville, Tennessee.
The announcement came after a heated brawl between Jade Cargill and Naomi disrupted Saturday Night’s Main Event, escalating from the crowd into the ring. SmackDown general manager Nick Aldis addressed the disorder by declaring there would be a special guest referee for the match, and soon after, Bianca Belair’s entrance music signaled her involvement.

Belair to Oversee a High-Intensity No Holds Barred Bout
The scheduled match between Jade Cargill, known as The Storm, and Naomi, nicknamed The Glow, is set to be a No Holds Barred contest, promising a volatile and unpredictable environment. Bianca Belair’s role as a special referee will be crucial in managing the chaos and ensuring a fair outcome despite the allowances for extreme action in this type of match.
Previous Experience as a Special Guest Referee
Bianca Belair is no stranger to officiating in WWE, having been a special guest referee before. Notably, she oversaw the Women’s World Championship match between Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky on the March 31, 2025 episode of RAW. That match concluded with a double disqualification, a result unlikely to occur in tomorrow’s No Holds Barred setting due to the absence of disqualification rules.
Her prior refereeing experience, coupled with her reputation as “The EST,” highlights the significance of her selection for this challenging appointment. Fans will be watching closely to see how her presence influences the dynamic, especially in a match designed to test the limits of control and order in the ring.
