– E! Online has a new article up on Nikki Bella and they have confirmed that she will need to undergo possible career-ending neck surgery. She commented:
“I have basically a broken neck, a pretty bad herniated disk. 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.”
“I have honestly one of the most amazing doctors. And I know that he’s gonna do so amazing and I’m going to have the best comeback story that anyone has ever heard of.”
It was noted that Nikki had been experiencing neck pain since July 2015. She’s looking at being in the hospital for just a few days after surgery and then will be sent home with a neck brace for three months with no travel. After six months, she will be able to get x-rays that determine if she will be able to get back in the ring or not. She commented on the possibility of her career being over:
“There is a potential that this is career-ending. 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 confirmed that she will no longer be using the Rack Attack move:
“For now the ‘Rack Attack’ will be officially retired. I’ve been told by doctors to never do that again so we do feel that because my injury is in such a unique place in my spine we do feel that it could’ve come the ‘Rack Attack’ so the girls in the future better watch out for my killer forearm because I might not be hitting them with the ‘Rack Attack’ but I’ll definitely be hitting them with that forearm.”
It was also noted that her surgery and recovery will be featured on Total Divas.
