The last time the WWE Universe got the opportunity to see Bianca Belair wrestling was at WrestleMania 41, where she challenged for the Women's World Championship. It was a triple threat match where Iyo Sky defended the Championship against her and Rhea Ripley. The Japanese professional wrestler successfully defended the title by pinning Belair in this match, and it had been one of the best matches of the show.
Despite performing excellently, Bianca Belair suffered a major injury when she broke her knuckles during this match. Unfortunately, she had to be sidelined from action as the injury turned out to be fatal, and she was in no condition to continue. It had been 7 months since she was taken out of action due to this injury.
Bianca Belair provides update on her return
There has been no update on her potential return date until she recently appeared on the “106 & Sports” podcast, where she was asked about her present injury status and when she is coming back to action. She finally provided some insider into the injury and also revealed her aim of returning to action. Here is what she said;
Bianca Belair has been out of action since WrestleMania 41
“So I broke my knuckle — which is not my finger — I broke my knuckle joint. It’s something that I thought was gonna be a very straightforward, eight to 12 weeks. It’s been almost six months at this point.”
“But it was WrestleMania, and I was in a Triple Threat with Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY and we were going to the top rope because that’s what we do. We came off the top rope and Rhea landed straight on my hand and just crushed everything in my finger.”

“So, it’s been a crazy journey and you know, being an athlete and having an injury, you rely on your body and now my body’s not doing what it is supposed to do but, I’m hoping I can be back in the ring soon.” said the EST of WWE regarding her return to action.
Since it had already been seven months, the fans can expect to see Bianca Belair returning to action soon. But it is really difficult to predict the exact return date. With the Royal Rumble closing in, it can also be expected that she features in the women's Royal Rumble match as a surprise entrant. She will definitely continue featuring on the main event as soon as she returns to action.
