Nikki Bella dealing with Back Injury

[Lackin]

WWE Divas Champion Nikki Bella is currently dealing with a back injury and was given the weekend off from WWE live events in order to rehab it.

Nikki was in action last Monday on Raw as part of a six woman tag match. It didn’t appear like she hurt her back during the match, so it could just be from wear and tear from working on the road so much.

On Sunday night, Nikki tweeted about how she wishes that she was at the Teen Choice Awards, but she’s been dealing with a back injury.


Nikki has been the Divas Champion for 267 long days since she won it at last year’s Survivor Series. The all-time record for the Divas Title was 295 days by AJ Lee. If she were to hold it until the Night of Champions PPV on September 20 then she would have the record.

Since AJ Lee abruptly retired from WWE this year without much warning, the company likely wants Nikki to break the record and have bragging rights instead of somebody that’s no longer there.

This Sunday at SummerSlam, Nikki’s part of a six woman tag match along with Team Bella teammates Brie and Alicia Fox taking on Team PCB (Paige, Charlotte & Becky Lynch) and Team B.A.D. (Sasha Banks, Naomi & Tamina). It’s a three team elimination match, so it doesn’t end until two full teams are eliminated from the match.

Glad it's not serious. WWE wants to have the longest reign for the Divas Champion to be a current diva so I can see Nikki keeping it til' NOC. But probably Charlotte or Sasha Banks taking over after then if the back problems persist.

I'm glad it's not serious, as well. The sooner she drops the title, the better.

Well injuries suck... Never good to see someone get hurt.

Wonder how they're going to work around this at SS though?

Elimination Tag Match either she gets eliminated first and shocks the world or she just doesn't do anything and steals the pinfall victory

By not having her defend the title at yet another ppv...

Seeing at how she's part of a three team elimination match with two partners by her side to help wrestle the match for her, I don't see how it'll affect her Summerslam match at all.

Triple H had a groin injury going into Summerslam '03 and yet still won and retained the World Heavyweight Championship despite only spending a total of about four minutes in the ring (it was an Elimination Chamber match.)

Legit forgot I hit "Post Reply" before getting on the bus, then when thinking of potential replies the first thought that came to mind was "As Majour says, either have the 30 day rule or don't, damn"

As Lockard was saying she could not have to do much of anything. This match needs to set up a contender anyway, so why not do the Survivor Series 09 finish when they actually tried to push Kofi? With Charlotte and Alicia remaining and Nikki never tagging in, they get 5+ minutes to battle and put on a great match... Natural Selection for the pin, then as soon as Nikki steps in the ropes Charlotte just blasts her with a spear and makes her tap

I approve of this idea.

LOL, yeah. Nikki's more protected than the company's WWE-WHC.

 

[Snowman1]

I approve of this idea.

Nikki's been pinned by both Charlotte and Sasha. I guess a future WWE Divas title shot is in store for both gals.

As far as the divas tag team triple-threat goes, Team Bella wins. Because they are the stars of Total Divas. LOL

WWE like to think that the Bellas are the stars but the majority of people that I know (myself included) don't watch for them.

The lack of title defences at ppv's pisses me off, especially at mania.

I'm 100% with you on this one.

I'm back to watching the divas division because of the recent NXT call-ups, obviously.

Oh, I agree. She should've defended the title more frequently. And I find it hilarious that, ever since Nikki won the title, she's been protected more than Rollins.
Nikki must've been pinned around 4-5 times in total since winning the title. She's got 2 losses (to my knowledge) in singles competition, to Charlotte and Sasha, and I believe she got pinned twice (maybe thrice) in tag matches.

 

[Majour]

She also had the terrible face/heel confusion, at times. And that twin magic shit- for that to actually work they would need to actually be identical again.

 

[Snowman1]

The whole idea of the Bella's though is that they work heel vs Paige's team and work face against Sasha's. Not so much "heel vs face" so much as "good, evil, dastardly".

Don't see why Team BAD are supposed to be that hated though. If anyone remembers Nikki retained the title a bunch of times through cheating, but it's been so long that who could blame anyone for not remembering lol
