The highly anticipated WWE SummerSlam 2025 event is set to take place soon, featuring a thrilling lineup of matches over two nights. Among the speculation surrounding the event is the possible return of Bianca Belair, which could see her switch to a villainous role for the first time in her career.
One highlight on the card is the WWE Women’s Championship match where Jade Cargill, known as the Queen of the Ring, will face Tiffany Stratton on the opening night of this major wrestling event. However, there are rumors that this title bout may end in controversy with Bianca Belair possibly interfering and costing Cargill the match, marking a dramatic heel turn for Belair if it happens.
Belair has not appeared in WWE since she suffered a finger injury at WrestleMania 41. Reports indicate she is nearing full recovery and could be cleared to return soon, making SummerSlam 2025 an ideal stage for her comeback. Despite the buzz, no official confirmation has been made about her return or the storyline involving her character shift.
Bianca Belair Shares Details About Her Injury Progress
Before SummerSlam, Bianca Belair gave an update on her injury during an interview on the podcast INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet. She revealed that at WrestleMania 41, she broke her finger in multiple places, which required significant healing time.
Belair explained that while her finger has recovered enough to use, it hasn’t regained full flexibility yet. She noted the impact this has had on her ability to wear her ring and described the location of the breaks on her finger.
“It looks more like a real finger now. So I have to wear my ring finger on my right hand now because my ring doesn’t fit. It’s healed, it won’t fully straighten. I broke it in two or three different spots. I broke it up here in the middle and then down in the joint,” she said. —Bianca Belair, Former WWE Champion
Her comments highlight both the physical challenges she has faced and her ongoing dedication to recovery. The possibility of her mid-summer return adds an intriguing element to SummerSlam’s narrative as WWE fans eagerly await the historic show.
Implications of a Potential Heel Turn at SummerSlam 2025
If Bianca Belair does make a surprise return and adopts a heel persona, it would be a significant shift for the former three-time world champion. This change could introduce fresh storylines for WWE and alter the dynamics of the women’s division. Such a dramatic development at SummerSlam 2025 would heighten tension and add unpredictability to the event, possibly affecting future championship pursuits and rivalries.
With SummerSlam being one of WWE’s biggest annual events, the timing appears suited for major surprises. Fans and analysts will be watching closely to see if Belair’s return shakes up the promotion, potentially setting the stage for new feuds and character arcs in the months ahead.
