Stephanie McMahon recently hinted at a potential new partnership for WWE superstar Bianca Belair during a podcast appearance, sparking interest among fans amid Belair’s ongoing recovery from injury. This suggestion comes as McMahon prepares for her WWE Hall of Fame induction, scheduled for 2026.
On her “What’s Your Story?” podcast, Stephanie McMahon discussed Bianca Belair’s hands-on approach to her wrestling gear while interviewing fashion designer Kristin Juszczyk. McMahon proposed that Belair and Juszczyk collaborate in the future, which was met with enthusiasm by the designer. This possible collaboration reflects McMahon’s hope for Belair’s continued evolution in WWE, especially during her time sidelined by injury.
“And she talks about 3 in the morning, making her gear and, you know, she said it is always last minute. I’d love for you guys to even just talk, because who knows where it would go,”
she said.

Belair’s absence in the ring follows her injury sustained at WrestleMania 41, where she competed in a Triple Threat match against IYO SKY and Rhea Ripley for the Women’s World Championship. IYO SKY won the bout and retained the title, while Belair was forced out of action with a hand injury. Since then, she has yet to make her return to WWE programming.
Meanwhile, Stephanie Vaquer captured the Women’s World Championship from IYO SKY at Wrestlepalooza and is slated to defend her title at WWE Crown Jewel 2025. Vaquer will face Tiffany Stratton for the Women’s Crown Jewel Championship at the premium live event scheduled for October 11.

Meanwhile, the competitive women’s division is preparing for significant upcoming matches, with champions like Stephanie Vaquer and contenders like Tiffany Stratton keeping the spotlight vibrant.
