Nikki’s Retirement
Although Nikki teased in her Twitter video that she wants to return to the ring, it is unlikely. The 35-year-old did not retire by choice. She suffered from several neck injuries during her time in the WWE which resulted in surgeries. Bella was eager to continue competing, but doctors forbade her to return after discovering a cyst on her brain earlier this year. Nikki made the announcement on The Tonight Show back in June where she explained her situation.
“I really wanted to go back and fight for the tag titles. I’ve always had my neck issues, and after neck surgery it hasn’t been OK. I felt like I needed to get that checkup before we went back for the tag titles. Then it came back that I herniated the disk above where I had surgery. I have all this inflammation around the metal, and then I have a cyst on my brain. So they were like, ‘You’re done, no more, you’re out.’”
Nikki has not stopped moving since her retirement and seems as happy as ever. Though her return to the ring is very unlikely, you can still see her on the reality series Total Bellas, which has been renewed for a fifth season. Keep following TV Shows Ace for more on the Bella Twins.
