Nikki Bella may have suffered an injury during a tag team match on SmackDown, which has raised concerns about her participation in the upcoming WrestleMania 42.
During the match, Bella appeared to hurt her leg while brawling with Nia Jax. After the incident, she was seen clutching her ankle at ringside, prompting immediate attention from medical staff. Despite the injury, her sister, Brie Bella, managed to secure a win for their team.
Following the injury, Nikki Bella did not return to the ring, and WWE has yet to provide an official update on her condition. Reports suggest that her absence is precautionary and not tied to a severe or long-term injury.
“Not sure the severity but Nikki Bella appeared to suffer some sort of leg injury while brawling off screen with Nia Jax before the finish of their tag match on SmackDown,” noted wrestling commentator Bryan Alvarez.
While the severity of Bella’s injury remains unknown, she was seen later in a backstage segment, which has led some to believe that her absence from the ring may not be permanent.
WrestleMania 42 is just a few weeks away, and observers are concerned about whether Bella will be able to participate. “It would be unfortunate stink if Bella were hurt and had to miss WrestleMania 42,” commented an unnamed source.
The Women’s Tag Team Champions, Nia Jax and Lash Legend, have been involved in the championship picture alongside Bella and her sister, Brie, as well as other prominent wrestlers like Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding Nikki Bella’s recovery timeline, and WWE has not made any official announcement about her status.
