Nikki Bella and her love of thirst traps checked in over the weekend at a spa as her injury recovery continues

Nikki Bella has been out of action with a non-breast-implant related injury since March. She’s working hard to make her way back into the ring after suffering a severe ankle injury in a match against Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair.

The injury kept her from setting foot into the ring to compete at WrestleMania 42 in April. However, the 42-year-old WWE Hall of Famer is hopeful she’ll be back in action soon.

“As of now, I get my X-rays done mid-June. So X-rays, MRIs, to see how the growth is – did my bones fully grow back? All the things. But today I was really pumped because I got to squat for the first time,” Nikki told Fox News Digital last month.

“So, I’ve been working with my trainer and my PT, and last week I got to move up to a level where we now get to focus on strengthening. So, I will say, it’s so much work. My broken neck was way easier than this and, like, how is that possible?”

Nikki Bella’s spa visit could turn into an annual event

Over the weekend, she checked in with a recovery update of sorts from a spa. How’s the ankle doing? Is she on track to make a return soon? Those are good questions. They didn’t come up. Turning the spa visit into an annual trip did.

“A very much needed getaway to We Care Spa,” Nikki wrote on her Instagram Story. “Love doing these detoxes every so many years. Need to make it a yearly thing.”

No news on the ankle has to be good news as far as I’m concerned, especially when an admitted lover of thirst traps includes a bikini selfie. It’s a step in the right direction.

Whether the ankle is ready or not, Nikki Bella appears to be.
