"So I broke my knuckle, which is not my finger. I broke my knuckle, broke the joint. It's something that I thought was going to be a very straightforward, you know, eight to 12 weeks. It's been almost six months at this point, but it was WrestleMania. And I was in a triple threat with Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky, and we were going to the top rope," Belair said.

But, you know, I'm hoping I can be back in the ring soon," Belair added.
