Nikki Bella sustains breast implant injury in shocking WWE Raw moment

On the July 28, 2025 episode of WWE Raw, WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella received a severe and painful injury during a shocking eight-women tag team match. Although the match began as you would imagine, it took a shocking twist when co-wrestler Piper elbowed Bella in the chest. It allegedly made one of Nikki's breast implants pop right into her rib cage, which has left her in excruciating pain. Despite being injured, Nikki decided to finish the match instead of leaving early, which fans and wrestling peers summed up as her toughness.Nikki discussed the injury on her and her sister, Brie Bella's, podcast, the days after the incident. She described the moment as a "hot spot," and said the force from the elbow pushed her implant against her ribs. It was painful to even laugh or cough since that match, she said, but she soldiered on because she didn’t want to let down her team.“I was in pain but I didn’t want the match to end,” Nikki said. “I think my implant is stuck in my ribs. It’s been hard to breathe and laugh, but I didn’t want to walk out mid-match.”Her remarks give us an insight into what the physical demands of professional wrestling looks like, even when injury is inadvertent.Following the match, Nikki rushed to get checked out. She amusingly told how weird it was to discuss the injury shirtless in a New York clinic, literally knowing something's wrong inside. During a recent visit, medical experts confirmed the implant had been displaced and suggested additional imaging to assess the detailed diagnosis.Nikki remained upbeat, though the injury was throroughly painful. This is what she said, and it would have to be corrected surgically, but she will make a full recovery in time.As for how this ailment will impact Nikki Bella for future WWE dates, that remains to be seen, but major stops like SummerSlam are less than two weeks away. She had previously teased that she might not go, but at this point, this injury could help hang up her boots for a while.Also Read: WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella knows her worth and is not afraid to show up to the hatersFans of WWE have started cheering Nikki with encouragement.
