Bianca Belair Sets Finger Surgery, Putting WrestleMania 42 Status in Doubt

The procedure addresses a complicated knuckle joint break from WrestleMania 41 that has resisted months of rehab.

Overview

  • Belair told fans on Instagram on Feb. 15 that she would undergo finger surgery on Feb. 16.
  • She has said the injury occurred when Rhea Ripley landed on her hand during the WrestleMania 41 triple threat, crushing the joint.
  • Belair described the damage as a broken knuckle and joint that far exceeded the initial 8–12 week recovery expectation.
  • Reports cited by outlets say the finger was broken in multiple places, contributing to a prolonged and unpredictable timeline.
  • Her last match was at WrestleMania 41, with only a guest referee cameo since, and her availability for WrestleMania 42 is now in serious doubt as WWE tracks post-surgery updates alongside other top-star injuries.
