WWE star Bianca Belair posts new update after finger surgery

Physical therapy is a rough process, but Bianca Belair is already making real strides in her recovery from finger surgery.

Belair underwent surgery this week to finally fix the finger/joint injury that has plagued her for nearly a year. Though she was initially only expected to miss a few months, Belair has now been out of action since WrestleMania 41. A timeline for when she’ll be able to get back into the ring has not been announced yet. But Belair is working toward getting full mobility back in her finger.

In a clip posted to social media, Belair showed herself gutting through the pain so that she could bend her finger and keep it bent in that position. The physical therapist working with Belair remarked that it was one of her best attempts yet.

“Rough Day but we are curling and bending that finger already!,” Belair wrote. “This makes me happy.”

In the 10 months since she was injured, Belair has visited five doctors. She sent out a message after surgery thanking her newest doctor (Dr. Desai) for listening to her and fixing her. Belair also thanked everyone who has shown her love during this process.

The last match Belair had before being sidelined was one of the best of her career. She took part in a triple threat match at WrestleMania 41 where IYO SKY defeated her and Rhea Ripley.
