Nikki Bella’s condition has taken a concerning turn following her recent injury, and the latest update has raised new questions about her status for WrestleMania 42.
The issue stems from the March 27 episode of WWE SmackDown, where Nikki went down during a post-match brawl and did not return to the ring. Initial reports indicated she had suffered an ankle injury, but a new development has provided a clearer picture of the situation.
Nikki was recently seen alongside Brie Bella while recording a future episode of their show, and she was wearing a walking boot. That visual update suggests the injury is more significant than initially believed and may require a longer recovery period.
According to PWInsider, the injury occurred during an in-ring exchange with Charlotte Flair.
“For those who have asked about WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella after she went to the floor and didn’t return during a brawl on Smackdown, PWInsider.com is told that she suffered an ankle injury. The belief among those we spoke with is that Bella rolled her left ankle during an exchange with Charlotte Flair.”
The addition of a walking boot now shifts the outlook significantly. Even less severe ankle injuries can require several weeks of recovery, and the need for support raises concerns about whether she will be medically cleared in time for WrestleMania.
As of now, there has been no official confirmation regarding Nikki’s availability. However, with the event quickly approaching, WWE may need to prepare for possible adjustments if her recovery does not progress in time.
With uncertainty growing and the timeline tightening, Nikki Bella’s WrestleMania 42 status is now very much in question.
