Bianca Belairs road back to WWE has been long, painful, and far more complicated than anyone expected. But after months of silence, the EST of WWE has finally delivered a real updateand shes officially hoping to return to the ring sooner rather than later.
Belair recently appeared on BETs 106 & Sports, where she walked fans through the injury that has kept her off WWE television since WrestleMania 41. While many assumed her finger issue would be minor, Belair made it clear the damage was far worse than originally thought.
She explained exactly how it happened during the top-rope triple German suplex spot with Rhea Ripley and IYO SKYan impact that completely destroyed her knuckle joint.
Belair admitted the process has been far more difficult than she expected, especially as an elite-level athlete whose body simply hasnt cooperated.
Behind the scenes, WWE sources believes Belair may return in the early stages of 2026, though there is growing optimism she could be medically cleared even sooner.
While she hasnt wrestled since WrestleMania, Belair did return to TV briefly as the special guest referee for Jade Cargill vs. Naomi at WWE Evolutionher first appearance in months and a positive sign that shes inching closer to an in-ring comeback.
With WWE expecting her return within the next several monthsand Belair herself finally saying she hopes to wrestle again soonit feels like the countdown for the ESTs comeback has officially begun.
