Bianca Belair has firmly established herself as the top babyface in WWE’s women’s division, serving as a cornerstone of the company for the past five years. Recently, The EST was sidelined due to a finger injury she sustained at WrestleMania. However, the recovery process appears to be taking longer than anticipated, and she may be forced to take an extended break in the coming weeks.

According to PWInsider, the former Women’s Champion is expected to miss WWE’s upcoming all-women’s premium live event, Evolution, next month due to injury. Her ongoing recovery was also the reason for her absence from the Queen of the Ring tournament at Night of Champions. However, there is optimism within WWE that Bianca Belair could return by SummerSlam — if not sooner.

A few weeks ago, Belair made an appearance on the May 30 episode of SmackDown to celebrate her homecoming in Knoxville, Tennessee. During the segment, she had a brief face-off with Naomi, hinting at a potential feud in the future. For now, however, fans are simply hopeful to see the former Women’s Champion return to the ring sooner than expected

Moreover, the 36-year-old’s most recent match at WrestleMania, featuring Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY, generated significant buzz online. The performance further cemented her status as one of WWE’s top in-ring talents. Given her star power, it’s likely that WWE is preparing a major storyline for her return in the coming months.

It’s so important. I always use the quote, ‘Representation is not a request, it’s a requirement.’ [Banks] took [such] great care of me in that match, because I was so new. I remember talking with her and telling her, ‘That was more than just a WrestleMania match.’
