A few weeks ago The Bella Twins stepped into the ring to face off against Alexa Bliss & Charlotte Flair, and Nikki unfortunately suffered an injury during the match. Nia Jax & Lash Legend ended up interfering and somehow a rumor started spreading claiming that Nia Jax had injured Nikki.
While talking about her injury on the Nikki & Brie Show, Nikki Bella shut down rumors regarding Nia Jax being the one who injured her when she was removed from the ring.
“What I want to clear up, because at first, Nia had gotten a lot of heat online and she actually helped me is when it came to the end of the match and the girls had to take us out, I knew at that point like I couldn’t even put weight on my foot at that point and I was in so much pain where I knew I was like, ‘Oh gosh, this is really bad,’ and I knew what was about to happen, so when she came to take me out, I looked at her and I go, ‘Please no, my foot hurts so bad,’ and she goes, ‘Wait, what?’ And I’m like, ‘I can’t get thrown out. I need to step out,’ so she helped me step out, but people made it like she injured me and I was like, ‘No, Nia actually really helped me in that moment,’ because I don’t know what, I would have belly flopped on the ground if I got thrown because I knew I couldn’t put my feet down.”
“The next morning before Brie and I go do media and then fly out, I go get an MRI, Brie and I do our media, and then we’re sitting, we get an aperol spritz, a nice little lunch before we have to catch our flight, and then I get the call. Which sometimes calls aren’t that quick after an MRI, so when I saw one of our doctors calling, I was like, ‘Oh gosh,’ so I answer and they’re like, ‘Don’t know how you managed to do all of it,’ and then just broke it down to me that I tore, sprained and fractured my ankle and they’re like, “You’re just gonna have to go straight to Birmingham, you can’t go home, and we’re gonna get you in surgery ASAP.”
