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, fuelling 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.
