WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella gets honest about uncertainty surrounding ankle injury

Days after suffering a brutal injury, WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella has opened up about her recent ankle injury and shared an uncertain update regarding it. Currently recovering from her ankle injury, Bella is also waiting to know more about the injury’s severity.

Appearing on Angie Martinez’s YouTube, Bella recently opened up about it and addressed her WrestleMania 42 spot. “No, not at all,” Bella said. “I’ve been super bummed out about it, so, as of now, it’s a sprained ankle. We don’t know if it’s a high sprain or something else, so I got an MRI I’m waiting for the results.”

“In our match on Friday, so, it was our second tag match back together, and it happened right in the beginning of the match, and I finished the match. I can’t believe I finished the match, and I stressed out my poor sister,” she continued.

The Bella Twins (Nikki Bella & Brie Bella) wrestled on the Mar. 27, 2026 episode of Friday Night SmackDown, where they went against the duo of Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair. However, midway through the match, Nikki Bella rolled her ankle and limped throughout the remainder of the match.

Appearing with Nikki Bella was her twin sister, Brie Bella, who also decided to open up and share her thoughts on it. “It’s my second match back in eight years. Like, so much anxiety in her first tag. So she tags me, and as I’m about to come in, she goes, ‘Oh, I think I broke my ankle,’ and we’re on live television. I was like, ‘Huh?’ I was like, ‘Do we need to call the match?’”

On the same appearance, the former Divas Champion further opened up and questioned the status of her ankle injury. “I thought it possibly could be (broken), because I’ve had a break before and the rush that was going through my calf, and I couldn’t put weight on it, I was like, oh, I think I just broke my ankle and just how it felt, I just knew something was wrong but, I knew this was starting the story to WrestleMania. So in my head, I knew there were girls in the back waiting to run in. I knew there was just a lot of women a part of this match and I didn’t wanna let anyone down,” Nikki Bella added.

Despite concerns regarding her ankle injury, Bella is currently listed to be a part of the upcoming Fatal 4-way WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship match at WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
