Nikki Bella will undergo surgery this week to repair her injured neck.
The former Divas Champion broke the news in an interview with E! Online, revealing that she will undergo a two-hour procedure this Wednesday.
As a result, Nikki will not be able to travel for three months, which takes her out of the picture for WrestleMania 32. After six months, she will be evaluated for a possible return to in-ring activity.
Nikki also revealed that there is a chance this may be a career-ending injury, but that depends on how her bone heals after surgery.
As has been reported, Nikki has suffered from neck pains since July, which have mainly been attributed to her finishing move, the Rack Attack. Nikki has been sidelined since October, attempting to rehab her injury. Unfortunately, the rehab has not worked, making surgery her only course of action.
Nikki addressed the news in a series of tweets, stressing that she is determined to make a full comeback:
In life we hit bumps in the road, what we do with those bumps is what makes us. I have hit mine, and I will overcome it and become stronger.
