A past match injury still affects the WWE star
Summary
– Nikki Bella says she has lost feeling in her thumb following a wrestling injury
– Her thumb became trapped while taking a victory roll
– She said planned surgery never happened, although she can still grip things
Nikki Bella says an old wrestling injury continues to affect her thumb. During a conversation with Landon Dickerson on The Nikki & Brie Show, she explained that she no longer has feeling in it.
The injury happened while she was taking a victory roll during a match. As her opponent moved through the pinning combination, Nikki’s thumb became caught and was forced backward.
She recalled noticing afterward that the thumb looked out of place. Nikki said she was supposed to have it surgically addressed, but the procedure never happened.
While discussing the lasting effects with Brie, Nikki noted that she can still grip objects despite the lack of sensation.
She did not identify the opponent or date of the match. Her account focused on a less visible injury that has remained part of her life long after the bout ended.
