What is the latest on Bianca Belair‘s potential return to WWE after suffering a serious hand injury at WrestleMania 41?
One of the best matches of WrestleMania 41 saw IYO SKY successfully retain the Womenâ€s World Heavyweight Championship against Bianca Belair and Rhea Ripley. Unfortunately, Belair suffered a hand injury in the match that has kept her on the shelf ever since.
Despite appearing as a special guest referee at WWE Evolution between Jade Cargill and Naomi, Belair still wasnâ€t cleared to return to action and disappeared from WWE programming as quickly as she reappeared.
In an unfortunate update from Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, there is still no timetable for Bianca Belairâ€s return to WWE.
Fightfulâ€s Sean Ross Sapp (via Fightful Select) added to this report, noting that Belairâ€s particular finger break was very bad as it affected the knuckle. Thus making the injury a lot more sensitive than a typical hand injury.
Stay tuned to WrestleZone for more information as it becomes available.
Should Bianca Belair return as a heel?
With Bianca Belairâ€s former tag team partners, Naomi and Jade Cargill, both turning heel this year, WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry pitched on a recent episode of Busted Open Radio that the EST of WWE should return to the company as a heel.
“Hopefully in the future, when she heals up and sheâ€s 100%, Bianca Belair comes back. There was not a better heel in the history of NXT than Bianca was. She was the ultimate heel. It got her her job on the main roster. And then, for whatever reason, the crowd loved on her and they turned her babyface.
“But her and Jade are so close, why would they not allow them to – not be a tag team – but just to be support systems for each other, and get to the point that, ‘Hey, maybe one of these days weâ€re gonna have to cross paths, but weâ€re not gonna talk about that until it happens.†And just allow them to be two evil people in pro-wrestling, which I would love.†[H/T: Wrestletalk]
