Bianca Belair Breaks Silence With Major Injury Update Amid Prolonged Hiatus From WWE TV

Former WWE Women's champion Bianca Belair has been away from in-ring action for quite a while. Fans have been yearning for her return, as the EST of WWE is one of the most charismatic female wrestlers and is also a key fan-favourite.

The last time Bianca Belair was seen in action inside the ring was at WrestleMania 41, where she lost the Women's World Championship title to IYO SKY. Belair was in action against the Genius of the Sky and 'Mami' Rhea Ripley.

It was earlier reported that the EST of WWE had broken her finger during in-ring action on an episode of SmackDown. But it was ultimately understood that Bianca Belair had broken her knuckles.
