Nikkita Lyons was mysteriously attacked in the NXT parking lot on January 24, 2023, as seen on an episode of the white and gold brand. Her absence was later revealed to be a torn MCL, requiring surgery and time off from NXT television for recovery.
Nikkita Lyons updated her fans on Twitter on Tuesday, announcing that she underwent a successful surgery. The Lioness of NXT expressed her gratitude for the support and promised to make a strong return. She shared a photo post-surgery for the wrestling community to see.
Nikkita Lyons was in a feud with Zoey Stark when she tore her MCL/ Meniscus. Stark reacted to her injury announcement with a dig of her own. The two turned rivals after Stark betrayed her partner on the November 8, 2022, edition of NXT.
Surgery was a success
Thank you deeply to the WWE Universe, my Lyon Pride for all the love and support you show. I’ll be back stronger than I’ve ever been.
#ReadyToPounce Also a big thank you to the wonderful surgeons, doctors and nurses.
