Bianca Belair has said she would love the opportunity to return to NXT someday.

Speaking with Wrestling Inc., the reigning WWE Raw Women's Champion called the developmental brand her "home" before saying she would relish heading back there. Belair cited Natalya as a recent example of somebody who has returned to NXT and done good work, calling her SmackDown counterpart a legend.

Bianca said the following about going back to NXT:-

“Yeah, I mean I started at NXT. I mean that was my home. I’m homegrown talent. That’s where I learned everything, so I would always love to go and give back. I think what Natalya did when she went back to NXT was amazing. She’s a legend in the game and she always has so much, you know love and so many gyms to give.”

Continuing, Belair added that she'd like the chance to work with some of NXT's new talent:-

“I would love to be able to go back and get back to NXT. To step in the ring with them and get a little you know homecoming welcome and step in the ring with some of the new talent. That would be fun.”

Belair entered WWE through NXT in 2016, signing with the promotion that April. Rising to prominence from early 2018, when she embarked on an undefeated streak, eventually working her way to NXT Championship contendership.

The developmental title win never came, though Bianca has since become a considerable main roster success story. Belair is now 93 days into her run as Raw Women's Champion and has a WrestleMania 38 headlining spot to her name.
