Nikkita Lyons Denies Claims She Missed Smackdown Due To COVID Vaccination Status

As previously reported, Zoey Stark and Nikkita Lyons were pulled from last Friday’s episode of Smackdown after Stark suffered an injury. They were replaced by Toxic Attraction.

Lyons was also not at the show in Montreal and was said to be “medically unavailable.” This led to rumors that she was not allowed to go to Canada because she hasn’t been vaccinated for COVID-19. Vaccination is required to enter the country. However, Lyons said this is not why she missed Smackdown.

She wrote: “Yes, it didn’t have anything to do with the vaccine. One day I may do a live on ig or something and share. I hope you have a blessed night.”

Yes, it didn’t have anything to do with the vaccine. One day I may do a live on ig or something and share. I hope you have a blessed night. 🙏🏼
