Bianca Belair Shares Heartbreaking Personal News
Episode notes
Bianca Belair has revealed she's dealing with carpal tunnel syndrome in both hands, opening her Instagram stories update with the line that no one ever talks about this stuff. Belair described her fingers as completely numb, said she has no feeling whatsoever in the finger she had surgery on, no grip strength, and is also dealing with what's commonly called Mom thumb. She has been out of action since injuring her fingers in the WrestleMania 41 triple threat match against Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY, returned at WrestleMania 42 when John Cena brought her out to reveal her pregnancy in front of a sellout crowd at Allegiant Stadium, and has since given birth to her and Montez Ford's son. We go through what she said, what these conditions actually involve, and why the accumulation of small injuries is the part of wrestling that almost never gets covered. 0:00 – Bianca Belair's WWE Absence & Post-Pregnancy Status 1:15 – Belair Shares Health Update: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome & Severe Numbness 2:30 – Loss of Grip Strength & Concerns Over In-Ring Safety 3:50 – Analyzing Missed Dream Matches (Jade Cargill, Naomi, Rhea Ripley)
