Nikki Bella provided a timeline for her in-ring return recently.
On the latest episode of The Nikki & Brie Show, the injured Bella Twin explained more about the ankle injury which caused her to miss out on performing at Wrestlemania this year. In a big reveal, it was the returning Paige that took her place and won the WWE Women’s World Tag Team Championships alongside Brie in Las Vegas.
Nikki explained on the podcast that she “tore and sprained” her ankle, and that she expects the injury to keep her on the sidelines for the next six to eight weeks.
Later in the show, Nikki made it clear that she hopes to be cleared by late June, when WWE heads to Riyadh for Night of Champions
“Hopefully I will get to see you all in June, they just announced Night of Champions is going to be happening in June,” she said, addressing her fans from Saudi Arabia. “So, fingers crossed that still goes.”
When asked if she will be at WWE’s next Premium Live Event (PLE), Backlash, Nikki said: “I don’t think I’m going to be at Backlash.”
While Nikki is on the injured list, Brie is still an active member of the roster alongside Paige. The tag champs appeared on last weekend’s episode of Friday Night Smackdown, facing off against Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss. Their match ended in a no contest after NXT call-ups Fatal Influence interfered.
