6 Wrestlers Set To Disappear After WrestleMania 33

6. Nikki Bella

Nikki Bella will team with boyfriend John Cena to take on the husband/wife duo of The Miz and Maryse at WrestleMania 33, and it could be the last time WWE fans see her for a while. Speculation suggests that Nikki will take an indefinite leave of absence following April 2nd, with complications from neck surgery as the suspected reason.

Nikki previously missed 11 months of action prior to returning at SummerSlam 2016, and underwent a career-saving operation during this time. She has featured prominently on SmackDown ever since, but reports suggest she still faces numbness on one side of her body, and hopes further time-off will ease the issue.

While full-on retirement doesn’t look likely, Nikki is expected to move into a part-time schedule should she eventually return. She’s a popular figure on the blue brand, but her long-term health must obviously take precedent, particularly if her neck is still troubling her. Even if she is forced to retire, however, Nikki will still have Total Bellas and Total Divas to fall back on, making it extremely unlikely that she’ll be removed from the WWE Universe as a whole.
