Former WWE Women’s World Champion Bianca Belair has provided a brief but telling update on her recovery from the broken finger she suffered at WrestleMania 41. In a new interview, “The EST” confirmed that she is still on the mend from the injury that has kept her out of the ring for the past five months.
During a recent appearance on the “Club 520” podcast, Belair was discussing the triple threat match she had at WrestleMania against Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY. While speaking about the match, she revealed that she is still dealing with the effects of the injury she sustained that night. She noted that she was wearing her wedding ring on her right hand instead of her left because her finger was still broken.
Despite the injury, Belair looked back on the WrestleMania match with pride. “That’s one of my matches I’m super proud about at WrestleMania this past year with Rhea Ripley, IYO Sky. There was a lot of strength and athleticism that we displayed, and storytelling,” she said. “That’s what’s amazing about WWE, it’s sports entertainment, for sure, and that’s what we do. I’m super proud to be a part of something like that.”
In another part of the same interview, Belair also revealed her hope to one day be a part of an on-screen storyline with her husband, Montez Ford. This is a pairing that many fans have been hoping to see for some time, and her comments will only fuel that speculation. Her focus for now, however, remains on her recovery and her eventual return to the ring.
The full interview with Bianca Belair can be heard on the “Club 520” podcast. We wish her a speedy recovery.
