Bianca Belair is targeting a return to the WWE ring by SummerSlam after suffering broken fingers at WrestleMania. The triple threat match against IYO SKY and Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania 41 took its toll, with Belair seen taping up her fingers on a subsequent “SmackDown” episode.
WWE officials are optimistic that Belair, a prominent WWE star, will be ready for action by SummerSlam in early August, or possibly even sooner. As the injury, Belair has been absent from WWE television, focusing on recovery and her eventual comeback to ”SmackDown.”
Belair’s return could see her embroiled in the ongoing conflict between her former tag team partners, Naomi and Jade Cargill.Naomi attacked Cargill last November, leading to a feud involving both women. Belair’s injury reportedly led to adjustments in WWE’s creative plans for her involvement.
On the May 30 “SmackDown,” Belair addressed her hometown of Knoxville, confirming she wasn’t fully healed. Naomi interrupted, seeking forgiveness, but Belair expressed her feelings of betrayal. Jade Cargill then intervened, physically confronting Naomi.
What’s next
As SummerSlam approaches, fans await Bianca Belair’s potential return and the impact she might have on the developing storylines within the “smackdown” women’s division, particularly concerning Naomi and Jade Cargill.
