Bianca Belair could be back on WWE television imminently - perhaps even as soon as this week.

Mike Johnson reports for PWInsider Elite that Belair may return to the market-leading promotion for this Friday's episode of SmackDown (20 October). Additionally, the multi-time Women's Champion is expected to be involved with the upcoming Crown Jewel 2023 premium live event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on Saturday, 4 November.

Belair hasn't been in action for WWE since the 18 August episode of SmackDown. Bianca and Charlotte Flair defeated Bayley and IYO SKY that night, with the heels attacking Belair later in the evening, writing her off television for an indefinite period of time.

In her time away from WWE, Belair has been working on a reality series with husband Montez Ford, who has remained on SmackDown during this period. Bianca is also understood to be working on a children's book.

Said Belair of her absence in September:

"Right now, it was just some self-care. We did some things with us personally that I’m so excited about, it has to do with the future... I’m trying to write a children’s book as well."

There is currently no word on whom Belair is booked to face at Crown Jewel.
