Bianca Belair, a prominent WWE superstar, has shared fresh details about her severe hand injury, sustaining the setback during WrestleMania 41 and delaying her return to competition. The Bianca Belair hand injury has sparked concern among fans, with updates revealing an unexpectedly difficult road to recovery.
Social Media Post Brings Past WWE Moments Into Focus
Recently, Belair reflected on an earlier, humorous moment from her career involving Nikki Cross, replaying a clip from their NXT days where Cross’s unpredictable actions left an impression. As the EST reviewed the footage online, she commented on Cross’s personality, recalling both the laughter and shock from that match and highlighting the camaraderie and rivalry that often play out in the ring.
“She still crazy as can be,”

Details Emerge on WrestleMania 41 Injury
During WWE WrestleMania 41, IYO SKY defended her Women’s World Championship against Bianca Belair and Rhea Ripley in a Triple Threat match. It was in this high-stakes contest that Belair suffered a significant hand injury, leading to her extended absence. Since the event, Stephanie Vaquer has become Women’s World Champion, and tensions have continued—with Raquel Rodriguez recently attacking Vaquer on WWE RAW.
Belair discussed the gravity of her injury and its impact in an interview with BET’s 106 & Sports. She clarified that what initially appeared to be a minor issue evolved into a longer ordeal, affecting her knuckle rather than just a finger. The wrestler expressed how her optimism faded as the healing process drew on for much longer than initially projected.
“Yeah, so, I broke my knuckle, which is not my finger. I broke my knuckle. I broke the joint. It’s something that I thought was going to be very straightforward, 8-12 weeks. It’s been almost six months at this point. But it was WrestleMania [41], and I was in a Triple Threat match with Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY, and we were going to the top rope because that’s what we do, and we came off the top rope, and Rhea landed straight on my hand, and it just crushed everything of my finger. So, it’s been a crazy journey,”

Uncertainty Surrounds Belair’s Return to WWE
With nearly half a year having passed, Bianca Belair’s recovery remains incomplete and fans are left wondering when she will step back into the ring. As WWE storylines continue to evolve, the absence of one of its most dynamic competitors has been keenly felt. The uncertainty not only affects Belair’s personal ambitions, but also the landscape of the Women’s World Championship scene, as Stephanie Vaquer, Rhea Ripley, and Raquel Rodriguez all remain integral figures in ongoing developments.
Broader Implications for WWE’s Women’s Division
Belair’s ongoing setback has highlighted both the physical demands wrestlers endure and the unpredictable nature of professional wrestling careers. As the WWE community hopes for her swift recovery, the path to her return is still unclear. The future of the Women’s World Championship remains in flux, with potential rivalries intensifying ahead of Belair’s eventual comeback and the division’s evolution taking on new momentum in her absence.
