Nikki Bella sustained an injury during the July 28 episode of WWE RAW while competing in an eight-woman tag team match in New York City. Despite experiencing pain caused by her breast implant shifting after a hard elbow drop by Piper Niven, she continued to perform and later shared details about the injury on her show.
Details of Nikki Bella’s Injury During the WWE RAW Match
Nikki Bella teamed with IYO SKY, Rhea Ripley, and Stephanie Vaquer against Naomi, Alba Fyre, Chelsea Green, and Piper Niven in the tag team contest. During the match, Niven’s elbow drop caused Nikki’s breast implant to dislocate, impacting her ribs. Nikki opened up about the incident on the Nikki & Brie Show, explaining that although she felt pain, she was determined to keep going.
I didn’t want the match to end. I was in a little bit of pain. But I didn’t want it to end,
Nikki said.
Her sister Brie Bella humorously questioned the condition of the implant, highlighting the severity of the hit.
I mean, [is] your implant OK?
Brie quipped. It’s stuck in your ribs.
Following the match, Nikki sought medical attention to check on her injury.
I had to go to the doctor yesterday to get my tit looked at,
Nikki revealed.
I just was telling Brie, having conversations with my shirt off and I’m thinking in my head [that] I didn’t think I would be here today on my day off in New York City getting my boobs looked at, knowing that I think my implant has moved. And I’m like, ‘Alright… it has moved.
Nikki Bella Plans to Repair Injury After Retirement
Nikki indicated that although the injury caused discomfort, including trouble laughing and coughing, it was manageable for now. She also said she intends to have the breast implant fixed when she retires from wrestling completely.
It put Nikki’s implant right into her ribs,
Brie noted.
It’s been hard to laugh and cough, but it’s OK. We’re going to get it fixed, one day. I told the doctor, I go, ‘Newly divorced, so the minute the boots are hung up, I’m coming back to you and we’re going to make these girls look real good,
Nikki shared.
Because these girls are going to get some good action in the future. And that can’t look like that.
Nikki also acknowledged a physical asymmetry caused by the injury, which Brie noticed during a shower moment, but the sisters kept the mood lighthearted.
OK, I showed you as well,
Nikki laughed.
By the way, you guys, not that bad of a difference. They still look hot.
Continuing to Perform Despite Injury
Although injured, Nikki described her experience on RAW as a memorable night, reflecting her commitment to her career and fans. The incident underscores the demanding physical nature of professional wrestling and Nikki’s resilience in the ring. As she prepares to address the injury in the future, her current focus remains on performing at a high level for her audience.
