Michin is officially back on WWE television — and she didn’t wait around to play nice.
After spending nearly two months on the sidelines with a shoulder injury that forced her off WWE’s Holiday Tour, the SmackDown star made her long-awaited return during the February 20, 2026 episode of WWE SmackDown. The injury had cut short her run of live event matches against Jade Cargill, and with no clear update on her recovery for weeks, fans were left wondering when — or how — she would resurface. Friday night delivered the answer.
In a backstage segment, Jade Cargill was walking through the arena when she confronted B-Fab. The exchange was tense from the start, but things shifted quickly when Michin suddenly stepped into the frame holding a kendo stick.
She didn’t need to say much. Her presence alone sent a message — she hasn’t forgotten what Jade did to her before the injury forced her out. Before the situation could explode further, the broadcast abruptly cut back to in-ring action.
The return marks Michin’s first appearance since being pulled from the Holiday Tour, signaling that her shoulder is at least stable enough for storyline involvement. Whether she’s fully cleared for a match remains to be seen, but WWE wasted no time plugging her right back into unfinished business with Cargill.
After two months away, Michin is back in the mix — and Jade Cargill now has a familiar threat standing directly in her path.
