Former WWE Divas Champion Nikki Bella has been out of action due to injury for months now. Earlier today E! Online revealed that Nikki will be undergoing neck surgery on Wednesday and that the surgery has the potential to be career ending. Nikki spoke to E! and gave more details on what the issue is with her neck and how the doctors hope to fix it.
“I have basically a broken neck, a pretty bad herniated disk,” Nikki explained. “What makes mine a little bit difficult than most people is that I have some disk behind my vertebrae so with a lot of prayers we’re gonna pray that the doctors can get the piece behind my vertebrae with just a bone fusion.”
Nikki did however emphasize herself that the surgery could potentially put her on the shelf permanently.
“There is a potential that this is career-ending,” Nikki explained. “We will only know that when I get out of surgery on Wednesday and then basically how the bone heals Wednesday. So that’s been tough but I truly have such hope that I will get to compete in that ring another day, I really do.”
Nikki also took to Twitter after the announcement was made to say that this isn’t the end for her and that she will overcome this setback and return stronger.
In life we hit bumps in the road, what we do with those bumps is what makes us. I have hit mine, and I will overcome it and become stronger.
