Nikki Bella Shares New Update On Her Injury Recovery

Nikki Bella has shared another update on her recovery, revealing that she has officially returned to in-ring training after spending the past few months recovering from an ankle injury.

Bella has been out of action since suffering an ankle injury during a tag team match on the March 27 episode of SmackDown against Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss. Nikki had originally been scheduled to challenge for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania 42. However, she was unable to compete, and Paige returned to WWE to take her place. She teamed with Brie Bella, and the duo went on to capture the titles.

In April, she said she expected to be sidelined for six to eight weeks and hoped to be back around the WWE Night of Champions event. Last month, Bella revealed she had progressed to strength work with jumping and lifting.

Nikki Bella has now posted several photos and videos to her Instagram Stories, giving fans a look at her latest training session. These showed Bella back inside the ring as she continues her comeback.

Although she’s back training, Bella has not announced when she’ll be medically cleared to compete again.
