New sighting raises concern ahead of WrestleMania 42
Summary
– Nikki Bella spotted wearing walking boot after SmackDown injury
– Confirms ankle issue may be more serious than first reported
– WrestleMania 42 status now in question
Nikki Bella’s condition has taken a concerning turn following her recent SmackDown appearance.
After initially suffering an ankle injury during the March 27 episode, Bella has now been seen wearing a walking boot, offering the clearest indication yet of the severity of the issue.
The injury reportedly occurred during an in-ring exchange, where she rolled her ankle before exiting during a post-match brawl. At the time, she was evaluated backstage, but no firm update on her recovery timeline was given.
This latest sighting changes the outlook, as the need for a walking boot suggests a more significant injury that could require time to heal.
With WrestleMania 42 approaching, her availability is now uncertain, and WWE may need to adjust plans depending on her recovery progress.
Attention now shifts to whether Bella can recover in time or if the injury will impact her role at the upcoming event.
