Bianca Belair delivered one of the most genuinely moving moments of WrestleMania 42 Night One when she made a surprise appearance at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas to share major personal news — she and husband Montez Ford are expecting their first child. The announcement drew an enormous reaction from the crowd and added a genuinely heartfelt chapter to what has already been an emotionally packed night.
Belair came to the ring after John Cena announced the attendance figure, telling the audience that you cannot have WrestleMania without surprises before dropping the news that sent the building into an emotional roar. “The EST is having a baby,” Belair announced to the crowd.
The moment takes on additional significance given the context of Belair’s extended absence from in-ring competition. She has been sidelined since suffering a severe finger injury at WrestleMania 41, breaking multiple fingers in her left hand with one requiring significant healing time due to its inability to bend properly. While she has made non-wrestling appearances during her recovery — including serving as a guest referee at WWE Evolution — she has not competed since the injury. Reports from late March indicated she had resumed light training, but no official return date had been established and surgery remained a possibility.
Montez Ford Will Become a Father for the First Time Following Bianca Belair’s WrestleMania 42 Announcement
The WrestleMania 42 stage provided Belair with the largest possible platform to share news of the most personal kind — a baby announcement in front of tens of thousands of fans inside Allegiant Stadium and millions watching live on ESPN Unlimited and Netflix internationally. Ford, who competes as part of The Street Profits on the WWE main roster, will become a father for the first time. The announcement ensures that whatever uncertainty surrounded Belair’s in-ring return timeline, her WrestleMania 42 moment will be remembered as one of the most genuinely joyful in the event’s recent history.
