Nikki Bella Scheduled For WWE Raw Tonight
Plus, an update on the former Divas' Champion's health.
PWInsider reports that Nikki Bella is scheduled to appear live on Monday's Raw from Brooklyn, NY. Though her role has yet to be announced, it is likely that she'll be involved in some way with her sister's feud with Lana. Nikki Bella set a record as the longest-reigning WWE Divas' Champion in history last September, but the following month, she was forced out of action due to a neck injury. After attempting to heal via rest and rehabilitation, Bella found out that she would need surgery to correct the issue, which may have stemmed from repeated use of her "Rack Attack" finishing move. She went under the knife in late January, and has since been keeping fans apprised of her progress via social media. This Saturday, she announced via Instagram that she only has to wear her hard brace part time, and that in three and a half months she "should be the strongest will ever be." An in-ring return will likely follow soon after. Brie, meanwhile, is currently rumored to be retiring from WWE following next week's post-WrestleMania Raw. She reportedly missed last week's broadcast due to health issues her husband, Daniel Bryan, is suffering, and those same issues are said to have led her to bring her departure, originally scheduled for the summer, up to early April. Brie is scheduled to appear on this week's episode, and given the retirement rumors, the show may very well feature the last Raw appearance of The Bella Twins as active wrestlers.
