Bianca Belair has provided a new update on her recovery from an injury sustained at WrestleMania 41, clarifying the severity of the damage to her hand. The “EST of WWE” has been out of action for nearly six months after a match against IYO SKY and Rhea Ripley.
‘It’s Getting Fixed’
During a recent Q&A session on her Instagram stories, Belair responded to a fan asking about her finger. She posted a photo with the caption, “It’s getting fixed,” accompanied by prayer hand emojis. She also touched on her physical changes during the time off, noting that she gained 20 pounds but has already lost 10 of them as she works toward her return.
Broken Joint, Not Just A Finger
In a separate interview on BET’s 106 & Sports, Belair offered more specific details about the injury. She revealed that the damage was more complex than a simple broken finger, which has extended her recovery timeline significantly beyond the initial 8-12 week estimate.
“So I broke my knuckle, not my finger, I broke my knuckle, I broke the joint,” Belair explained. “I was in a triple threat with Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY… we came off the top rope and Rhea landed straight on my hand and it just crushed everything in my finger… now my body’s not doing what it’s supposed to do. But I’m hoping that I can be back in the ring soon.”
