We’re getting deeper and deeper into WrestleMania season, but unfortunately a number of top WWE stars are currently sidelined due to injury. Bianca Belair has been out of action since WrestleMania 41, and she underwent finger surgery earlier this week.
Following the surgery the former WWE Women’s Champion confirmed that she started physical therapy today when she posted the following:

In November of 2025, Bianca Belair noted during an appearance on BET’s 106 & Sports that she originally thought she would only be out for 8 to 12 weeks when she said, “So I broke my knuckle, not my finger, I broke my knuckle, I broke the joint. It’s something that I thought was going to be a very straightforward, you know, 8-12 weeks.”
It was recently reported that Bianca Belair is expected to part of WrestleMania 42 in some capacity. However, it’s not known what her role might be for the show if she does end up appearing.
Bianca Belair last stepped into the ring when she faced off against Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley in a triple threat match for the Women’s World Championship at WrestleMania 41. At this point there is no timeline regarding when she could potentially be cleared for in-ring competition.
