Talk about playing through the pain. WWE wrestlers are well-known for performing while injured, but Nikki Bella revealed that she had to deal with an injury that you don’t hear about very often, if at all: one of her breast implants got “pushed down into her ribs” during a match on Monday Night Raw prior to this past weekend’s SummerSlam event.
Nikki Bella suffered the injury during an eight-woman tag team match involving her, Rhea Ripley, IYO SKY, and Stephanie Vaquer versus Naomi, Chelsea Green, Alba Fyre, and Piper Niven on the July 28 edition of Raw.
“We were just out there talking I was just like, ‘Oh my god, I’m having so much fun,’ I didn’t want the match to end,” Nikki told her sister Brie during the August 1 episode of their podcast The Nikki & Brie Show. “I was in a little bit of pain, but I didn’t want it to end.”
“I mean, your implant okay?” Brie interjected. “I think it’s stuck in your ribs, but…”
“I think it is. I had to go to the doctor yesterday to get my t– looked at,” Nikki replied. “I was just telling Brie, I’m having conversations with my shirt off and I’m thinking in my head, like, ‘I didn’t think I’d be here today on my day off in New York City getting my b—- looked at knowing that my implant I think has moved.’ And I’m like, ‘All right, it has moved.’ It’s moved.”
Apparently the injury occurred when Piper Niven dropped an elbow on Nikki Bella during the match on Raw.
“It’s okay,” Nikki continued. “We’re going to get it fixed one day. I told the doctor, I go, ‘Newly divorced, so the minute the boots are hung up, I’m going to come back to you and we’re going to make these girls look real good, because these girls are going to get some action in the future and that can’t look like that.'”
The topic was once again brought up on Monday’s episode of Nikki and Brie’s podcast.
“I literally had told Brie all of this in private and when she said it live about my implant, I was like, ‘Are you kidding me?'” Nikki said. “Then yesterday it was everywhere about my implant. I keep getting text messages, I was just backstage and everyone kept coming up, like, ‘Is it okay?'”
Nikki went on to say that she is still waiting to hear back on what the damage actually is.
“I’ll know later,” she explained. “I don’t know yet if it exploded or not. It still seems intact. It’s swollen, it hurts, but I think it might be fine,” adding, “I can’t believe I’m loudly talking about this, but hey, it’s 2025, whatever. Send well wishes to my fake b—, thank you.”
