WWE Confirms Nikki Bella Injury, WrestleMania Status
Nikki Bella is dealing with an injury.
Fans were worried about the WWE star's status when she was seen limping after the Bella Twins' match against Alexa Bliss & Charlotte Flair on SmackDown last week. Nikki was then spotted wearing a walking boot during the taping of the latest Bella podcast, fueling more rumors.
The commentators confirmed the injury during the April 3 episode of the Blue Branded show. Joe Tessitore first noted that they had an injury update, and Wade Barrett then revealed that Nikki Bella was undergoing rehab as a replay showed the moment the former champion hurt her ankle:
"Yeah, this is Nikki Bella suffering a nasty ankle roll in the Bella's tag match with Bliss and Flair last week as you mentioned. Nikki is currently undergoing some rehab in order to be ready for their fatal four way tag title showdown."
The Bella Twins are scheduled to challenge The Irresistible Forces for the women's tag titles at WrestleMania 42. Alexa Bliss & Charlotte Flair, and Bayley & Lyra Valkyria are the other two teams who will be part of this fatal four-way bout.
The company not announcing any change to the Mania match suggests that they expect Nikki Bella to be cleared for the Show of Shows. Stay tuned for more updates.
