WWE Star Bianca Belair Injury Update
Bianca got hurt at WrestleMania 41 in the triple threat match with IYO SKY and Rhea Ripley. She first thought it was just a broken finger but later confirmed she actually broke the knuckle and joint which made the injury much more serious and slow to heal.
Because the joint is damaged the usual eight to twelve week timeline did not apply. The crush impact on her hand during the top rope spot has left her dealing with pain and limited function for months.
What Bianca has said?
Bianca has talked about the injury on BETs 106 and Sports and in Q and A sessions on Instagram. She explained that she broke her knuckle not just the finger and that this is why recovery has stretched to almost six months.
When a fan asked about her finger on Instagram she replied that it is getting fixed which is the clearest sign that treatment and rehab have stepped up recently. She has also mentioned gaining some weight during time off and working it back off as she trains for a return.
Current Recovery Status
Right now Bianca is still not cleared to wrestle and remains off regular WWE programming. Most reports say she continues rehab for the hand and joint and is focused on getting full strength and grip back before returning.
Behind the scenes the expectation is that she could be ready sometime in early 2026 if everything goes well. Some outlets have hinted that WWE hopes she might be back around the Royal Rumble window but nothing is confirmed on television yet.
Where this leaves her WWE future
During her time away Bianca has still appeared in media spots and some WWE segments so the company is keeping her visible. She even worked a special referee role earlier in the year which let her stay on screen without risking the injured hand.
Reports suggest WWE sees her as a key part of the womens division once she is cleared. Fans and analysts already talk about possible big feuds waiting for her including a longer program with Jade Cargill when she finally comes back.
