Bianca Belair Nears WWE In-Ring Return After Finger Injury

Bianca Belair, a former multi-time WWE Women's Champion, is nearing a return to in-ring competition after suffering a broken finger during a triple threat match at WrestleMania 41. Reports indicate she is expected to be medically cleared as early as the week following SummerSlam 2025, with a potential comeback on the August 9 episode of SmackDown. Although she will not be cleared in time for a surprise appearance at SummerSlam itself, her return could set the stage for new storylines, including a possible heel turn and a feud with Jade Cargill or Tiffany Stratton, as speculated by fans. Belair's injury forced her and Jade Cargill to vacate the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships, and her absence has been notable in the women's division. She has made limited appearances since the injury, such as serving as a special guest referee at the Evolution event. Her return is highly anticipated and expected to impact the evolving SmackDown women's roster significantly.
