Bianca Belair Expected to Return from Injury by WWE SummerSlam – Bianca Belair could be on her way back to WWE television in time for SummerSlam, according to a new report from PWInsider. The former champion has been sidelined since WrestleMania 41 after suffering an injury during the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match, but there is internal optimism that she may return as early as August—if not sooner.
Belair sustained multiple broken fingers in the high-risk ladder match, which was eventually won by Naomi. The injury required immediate attention and has kept “The EST of WWE” out of action for several months. Since then, she has been recovering privately and has not made any public in-ring appearances.
The setback reportedly forced a reshuffling of WWE Creative’s long-term booking plans. Belair was originally slated to play a major role in the growing rivalry between Naomi and Jade Cargill. With Belair sidelined, WWE had to pivot and “recalibrate” the direction of that storyline. Cargill and Naomi have since continued their storyline without Belair’s involvement, but her return could reignite or shift the feud’s momentum once again.
SummerSlam is scheduled for Saturday, August 2nd, which would mark just over three months since Belair’s last match. That timeline falls within a standard recovery window for her type of injury, making a return at—or possibly even before—the event a realistic target.
Belair remains one of WWE’s top female stars and a key figure in the company’s ongoing women’s division push. Her return would likely have an immediate impact, especially as WWE builds toward its fall programming schedule.
