Conflicting reports leave her WrestleMania 42 status unclear.

Overview

  • Nikki Bella, who limped during Friday’s SmackDown tag match, left the action and was checked by a doctor at ringside.
  • PWInsider reported the belief that she rolled her left ankle during an exchange with Charlotte Flair and was evaluated backstage.
  • A social video posted Monday showed Bella wearing a walking boot while filming The Nikki & Brie Show, which raised fresh concern about the injury.
  • Wrestling Observer Live reported she appeared fine later after what was described as an ankle tweak and that she was seen backstage.
