Despite delivering a stellar performance in a high-stakes championship match at WrestleMania 41, Bianca Belair has confirmed reports of sustaining an injury during the contest.

However, in a reassuring update for her fans, “The EST of WWE” indicated that the injury appears to be relatively minor and unlikely to sideline her for an extended period.

Belair’s quest for the Women’s World Championship culminated in a thrilling Triple Threat Match at WrestleMania 41 on Sunday, April 20, 2025. She faced a formidable challenge against the reigning champion, IYO SKY, and the dominant Rhea Ripley.

The bout lived up to its billing, captivating the audience with its intense action and earning widespread praise as one of the standout encounters of the entire WrestleMania weekend. Ultimately, SKY managed to retain her title by executing her signature Over the Moonsault, pinning Belair after a hard-fought battle.

Earlier in the week, wrestling insider Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful reported initial concerns regarding a potential injury to Belair’s fingers sustained during the WrestleMania Sunday opener. This report highlighted the physical toll of such a demanding match on the athletes involved.

Adding her personal confirmation to these reports, WWE’s official YouTube channel released a behind-the-scenes vlog from WrestleMania 41 featuring Belair.

The popular Superstar addressed the speculation in the video, stating, “I think I broke a finger. My finger is hurt, my feelings hurt. Nah, I’m so happy right now. That was amazing. Win or lose, it’s WrestleMania.”

Despite the apparent pain, Belair’s positive attitude shone through as she expressed her overall satisfaction with the WrestleMania experience.

Reflecting on the outcome of the championship match, Belair showed respect for the victor, saying, “The Mania streak is broken. I would prefer it to be IYO out of anybody. One of the greatest wrestlers on the planet. I can’t be mad at that. Congratulations to IYO.”

However, she also sent a clear message to Ripley, indicating that their rivalry is far from over: “Rhea, I’m still coming for that ass, okay? This ain’t over because it’s your fault.”

At this time, it remains uncertain whether WWE will grant Belair any time off to allow her finger to heal completely, or if the Superstar will choose to work through the discomfort and continue to work.

Belair’s journey to her WrestleMania 41 championship opportunity was secured through a significant victory at the Elimination Chamber event held in Toronto on March 1, 2025.
