Good news for fans of “Teh EST of WWE“! Bianca Belair is reportedly on track to make her return to WWE television in time for SummerSlam. According to PWInsider, the former champion has been out of action since suffering an injury at WrestleMania 41 during the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match. Sources inside WWE are optimistic that she could be back as early as august, if not sooner.

BIANCA BELAIR sustained multiple broken fingers during the high-stakes ladder match, which NAOMI ultimately won.The injury required immediate medical attention, sidelining “The EST of WWE” for several months. Since then, she has been focusing on her recovery privately, avoiding public in-ring appearances.

Impact on WWE Storylines

Belair was originally slated to play a major role.

The injury reportedly disrupted WWE Creative’s long-term booking plans. BELAIR was initially intended to play a significant role in the ongoing rivalry between NAOMI and JADE CARGILL. With BELAIR sidelined, WWE adjusted and “recalibrated” the storyline’s direction. CARGILL and NAOMI have continued their feud without BELAIR, but her return could reignite or alter the storyline’s trajectory.

SummerSlam is scheduled for Saturday, August 2nd, marking just over three months as BELAIR’s last match. This timeline aligns with a typical recovery period for her type of injury, making a return at or even before the event a realistic possibility.

Belair’s Importance to WWE

BIANCA BELAIR remains a top female star in WWE and a crucial figure in the company’s continued push for its women’s division. Her return is expected to have an immediate impact, especially as WWE prepares for its fall programming schedule.
