WWE Confirms Nikki Bella’s Injury On Last Night’s SmackDown, Says She Is Undergoing Rehab

Submitted by Tom Araya on

As previously reported, WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella suffered an injury during last week’s episode of SmackDown after her match with Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss. Nikki rolled her ankle during an off-screen brawl with Nia Jax and was seen limping afterward. Later, during a live filming of “The Nikki and Brie Show,” she was spotted wearing a walking boot.

WWE confirmed her injury on last night's SmackDown, stating that she is "currently undergoing some rehab" to heal in time for WrestleMania 42.

There is no exact timeline for Nikki's recovery or return to in-ring action. However, fans remain hopeful that she will participate in the Fatal 4-Way Match for the Women’s Tag Team Championships at WrestleMania 42. This match will include The Bella Twins, Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss, Bayley and Lyra Valkyria, as well as the current champions, Nia Jax and Lash Legend. If Nikki Bella cannot return in time, WWE may need to revise its plans.

WWE WrestleMania 42 is scheduled to take place on Saturday, April 18, and Sunday, April 19, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. The event will be broadcast live on ESPN Unlimited in the U.S. and on Netflix internationally.
