Bianca Belair Reveals Major Injury Update, WWE Star Has 'No Feeling' in Surgically-Repaired Finger

It's been over a year since WWE Superstar Bianca Belair last wrestled, and it doesn't sound like she'll be back in the ring anytime soon.

Belair suffered a significant finger injury that required surgery in her last match at WrestleMania 41 in April 2025. After giving birth to her first child during her time off, Belair revealed on Instagram that she's now dealing with carpal tunnel syndrome in both hands.

"No one ever talks about โ€ฆthis stuff โ€ฆ currently carpal tunnel in both handsโ€ฆ fingers completely numb, no feeling in surgery finger whatsoever, no grip strength, and now also Mom thumbโ€ฆ wtf lol," Belair wrote in her Instagram story (h/t Derek Holloway of Ringside News).

Belair struggled to progress in her recovery from surgery for quite some time, but she dedicated more time to physical therapy during her pregnancy and finally regained the ability to bend her finger. However, she still had visible swelling when she shared an update last month.

Belair was one of WWE's brightest stars and a cornerstone of the women's division, so her presence has been sorely missed. Fans will continue to hope that she will recover and return to reclaim her spot as one of the faces of the company.
