Re-injured WWE star shares update on potential return date

WWE Superstar Nikkita Lyons has shared an update following her latest injury.

Nikkita Lyons made a much-anticipated return to the ring in December of last year after nearly a year-long absence due to an ACL injury. However, her comeback was short-lived, as she suffered another injury during a match against Blair Davenport on NXT in January 2024.

During a recent appearance on Booker T's Hall of Fame podcast, Lyons revealed she underwent surgery two months ago. The 24-year-old star expressed optimism about her recovery and intended to return for the Halloween Havoc event, typically held in October.

​

“It’s been two months since my surgery, and honestly, I feel like these two months went pretty quick, at least for me, because run on the grind every day. But right now, I’m hoping by Halloween Havoc. I’m hoping that’ll be a good time. But also I want to make sure… it should be ready to go. But I don’t want to say an exact, you know, like, ‘It’s gonna be here,’ because with injuries, it’s kind of day by day," Lyons said. [H/T Fightful]
