Nikki Bella Faces Health Challenges Following Breast Implant Injury
Nikki Bella's Return to WWE Complicated by Injury
Nikki Bella had aspirations to return to a regular WWE schedule following the all-women Evolution premium live event, but her comeback has faced several setbacks. Initially, her scheduled match for the second edition of the PLE was canceled, and she is currently contending with an injury that has kept her off WWE programming.
During a recent episode of The Nikki & Brie Show, Nikki disclosed that she experienced a significant breast implant injury during her tag team match on the July 28 episode of WWE Raw. She explained that the injury occurred when Piper Niven landed an elbow on her.
Despite her determination to stay healthy, Nikki Bella is navigating a challenging period due to the ongoing repercussions of her breast implant injury from last month. She has announced plans to undergo an MRI to assess the extent of the damage to her implants and to determine if her busy schedule around SummerSlam exacerbated the situation.

On the latest episode of the Nikki & Brie Show podcast, she shared how her SummerSlam week turned into a health crisis. Nikki described how the injury's sudden impact left her struggling to sneeze or cough properly.
“I was run down that whole trip [during SummerSlam week]. You know, I first got the injury, and because I couldn’t fully sneeze or cough or anything like that, I’m still congested. I’m so congested. I think it’s because I’ve been run down.”

Busy Schedule During SummerSlam Weekend
Nikki continued to explain that she wished to rest but found herself overwhelmed with commitments throughout the SummerSlam weekend. Consequently, the MRI became her only option to understand her condition better.
“My whole week was just going from one thing to the next with no time in between, and dealing with this bruising. I’m getting an MRI tomorrow to know exactly what’s going on. Between that, feeling run down, and everything happening one after another, I wasn’t getting any time to take a breath.”
Just a week after her breast implant incident, Nikki Bella returned to WWE Raw, where Becky Lynch humorously addressed her breakup with John Cena during the August 4 episode, which was broadcast live from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Many fans and media outlets hailed it as one of the best promos of the year, and Nikki took note of the positive reception. However, she missed the following week's episode, likely due to her MRI.
