Injured WWE Star Targeting October Return

WWE

Injured WWE star Nikkita Lyons is currently targeting an October return following an injury shortly after her return.

In January 2023, NXT’s Nikkita Lyons suffered a torn ACL and meniscus that caused her to miss nearly 11 months of in-ring action.

Lyons returned on the December 5 edition of WWE NXT and went on to wrestle several matches.

After losing to Blair Davenport on the January 9, 2024 episode, Dave Meltzer reported in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that Lyons suffered an undisclosed injury.

Speaking with Booker T and Brad Gilmore on The Hall of Fame Podcast, Nikkita Lyons was asked to provide an update on the timeline of her recovery from injury. She replied:

“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. Going back to the out of sight, I’m gonna stay active.”

“I’m not going nowhere. I ain’t going nowhere. That’s why I’m shoving myself in y’all face. Y’all are not gonna see this brick house blow down.”

“That’s where I’m at, and that’s where I cross into my music and different forms of art that I can do, still talking to the people, being involved, going to these community events and charity events, like I ain’t going nowhere.”

“I’m just gonna continue to improve in every other way I can until I can step in the squared circle again,”

There is no word on when Nikkita Lyons will make her in-ring return at the time of this writing.

WrestleTalk would like to wish Lyons well on her ongoing recovery from injury.
