3) Update On Nikki Bella
On a recent episode of The Bellas Podcast, Nikki Bella put some cold water on the rumors that she will be coming out of retirement soon for WWE. Nikki revealed that she is not actually cleared to wrestle and would have to get cleared in order to return.
Here is what she said:
“I guess I have been talking about this run as if I’m cleared, which I’m not cleared to wrestle. I saw a doctor last week who is starting to help me with neck strengthening exercises. I’m working on doing everything I can to increase bone growth with bone fusion and helping herniation. Since I haven’t done any hardcore impact since my match with Ronda, hopefully the herniation that happened above my bone fusion has gotten better.
“I hope that somehow, all these things that I’m doing, if I want to do this run, I have to get MRIs and scans and they have to discuss things. They will see this incredible growth and say, ‘You’re strong, here are your limits, but this is what you can do.’ I need to start that a year out. We’ll see what a year does, how good the bone grows, how strong my neck can get. Say prayers for me.”
My Take:
- I wouldn’t mind seeing The Bellas back for the Women’s tag team division. Love or hate them, they will add a bit of star power to the division.
2) Update On Matt Riddle
There was some speculation that Matt Riddle could be injured after his recent match on RAW against Mustafa Ali. According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, Riddle was fine after the match and is not injured.
Here is what Sapp wrote:
On WWE Raw, Matt Riddle took a nasty spill at the end of the match when the finish with Mustafa Ali went awry. We’re told that he’s fine, and didn’t seem injured coming through the curtain after his match on Monday.
My Take:
- Glad to hear that Riddle is okay. He is doing some good work right now and an injury would suck prior to Wrestlemania.
