No Planned Return Date For Bianca Belair Amid Injury Absence

Bianca Belair has been out of action for much of 2025, but that doesn't mean a return for the former WWE Women's Champion will take place in the near future.

According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, there is still no return date in place for Bianca Belair. This is despite Belair having been out of action since she sustained broken fingers at WWE WrestleMania 41 during the Triple Threat Match over the Women's World Championship with IYO SKY and Rhea Ripley.

Belair has appeared on WWE TV during her absence from the ring, having served as the special guest referee for Jade Cargill vs. Naomi at July's Evolution pay-per-view.

Belair revealed earlier this year on Insight with Chris Van Vliet when she sustained the injury at WrestleMania.

"So it was when we were doing the triple German spot, when IYO was on the top rope, and then it was Rhea, then it was me, and I came in, German suplexed both of them off, and my hand got stuck underneath Rhea. Also I went to the wrong side of Rhea, but my hand, I thought she was gonna go further over me, we kind of just collapsed together," Belair said.

"So when my hand went back, it got stuck under her, and she literally crashed on my hand. I knew immediately it was broken, because usually in a match, something happens, and you don't feel it until after the match, your adrenaline wears off, and you're like, Ow, my finger. But in the moment I thought I broke all my fingers. So the ref, you can see the ref if you watch back, the ref comes to me. He's like, 'Are you okay?' I'm like, 'I just broke all of my fingers!' You just see me rolling around on the ground, and it took Rhea to snap me out of the moment, because I was just rolling around on the ground. And she's like, 'Bianca, Bianca!' And I'm like, 'What?' Oh, we have to finish this match."
