Nikki Bella provides latest progress in injury recovery
Nikki Bella shared an encouraging update on her ankle injury, suggesting that her anticipated WWE return could happen sooner.
On the latest edition of the Nikki and Brie Show, the WWE star disclosed initial plans to meet Brie in Tuscany during the company’s European tour. However, her nervousness amid recovery made her scrap the plan.
“The one thing that was a blessing, when I originally had my trip booked to meet Brie, every night I’d wake up with anxiety about this trip. So that’s when I started to know it wasn’t a right time for me to go to Tuscany, and being home, I’ve realized that I’ve really just have been hardworking at my workouts and recovery and just getting really good news along the way, how much stronger I am, just everything looks great.”
Nikki added that so far things are looking healthy and positive in her ankle injury recovery.
“I’m getting my X-rays done I think a week earlier. I’ll start to just get in the ring and dabble on how that feels. But everything’s just looking really strong and healthy and I felt like I had to be home to do that.”
Nikki previously outlined a scrapped pitch for a WWE series centered around showcasing talents outside the ring, experiencing and traveling through Italy. The intention was to be involved with the WWE European tour despite her inability to compete in the ring.
