This article contains potential spoilers for WrestleMania 42:

The Bella Twins touched down at Allegiant Stadium on Saturday projecting nothing but confidence ahead of WrestleMania 42, with no acknowledgment of the swirling reports that Nikki Bella is not medically cleared to compete tonight.

The upbeat appearance comes despite a report from PWInsider indicating Nikki will not compete in tonight's Women's Tag Team Championship Fatal Four-Way due to an ankle injury suffered on SmackDown last month. Per PWInsider, Paige has been secretly brought to Las Vegas and was spotted taking part in a run-through for the match earlier this week.

Nikki doubled down on her participation at the WWE Hall of Fame Red Carpet on Friday night, telling interviewers she was "just getting that extra rest in" and confirmed she would be in the match. Whether her arrival at the stadium today signals she has been cleared or is part of a storyline designed to mask the replacement, the answer figures to come tonight.
