Bianca Belair has shared an update on her injury and recovery as she continues her long break from WWE.
Belair has been out of action since suffering a serious finger injury during her Triple Threat Match against IYO SKY and Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania 41. The injury required surgery and has kept The EST of WWE away from the ring for more than a year.
Even though she hasn’t been wrestling, Belair has stayed connected with fans through social media, regularly sharing updates about her recovery and personal life. Her latest update brought some encouraging news about her injured finger.
Bianca Belair reveals progress months after finger surgery
On her Instagram Stories, Belair posted a video showing herself bending the injured finger during physical therapy. The clip showed clear improvement and showed that her recovery is moving in the right direction.
Belair seemed happy with the progress and explained that her current time away from wrestling has helped her focus on getting better.
“One thing about being pregnant… it’s really given me the time to get my finger better!!! We are still on therapy and We are bending!” Belair wrote.
While she is still not close to returning to WWE, regaining movement in the finger is an important step forward.
Belair suffered a crushed knuckle joint during her WrestleMania 41 match. What first seemed like a manageable injury turned out to be more serious and eventually required surgery.
The recovery process has taken longer than many expected. Belair has spent months working through therapy to regain strength and movement in the finger. Her WWE absence became even longer after she announced at WrestleMania 42 that she is expecting her first child.
The pregnancy means she will remain away from WWE TV for the foreseeable future, even as her finger continues to heal.
