If fans were wondering as to whether or not Bianca Belair’s knee injury on-screen was legitimate or not following the brutal bump she took at her SummerSlam triple-threat match against Charlotte Flair and Asuka for the WWE Women’s Championship, they can rest easy.
FightfulSelect reported the following:
Bianca Belair’s on screen knee injury is just a storyline. Belair was planned for some time off, and was factored in creatively.

However, differing things have been said on how long she could be out, ranging from a few weeks, to possibly three months.
The timeline for her return is not well known, but time off is needed and absence makes the heart grow fonder. Bianca won the title at the summer event, but lost immediately to a cash in by MitB briefcase holder, Iyo Sky. Previously, Belair held the Raw Women’s Championship at a record-setting 420 days.
