ORIGINAL STORY:
Nikki Bella is scheduled to undergo C6-C7 cervical fusion surgery this morning. The operation, which runs approximately two hours, will ultimately determine her in-ring future in WWE.
During an interview with E! Online this week, Bella explained how unique her injury is.
“What makes mine a little bit difficult than most people is that I have some disk behind my vertebrae so with a lot of prayers we’re gonna pray that the doctors can get the piece behind my vertebrae with just a bone fusion”
“There is a potential that this is career-ending,” Nikki explained. “We will only know that when I get out of surgery on Wednesday and then basically how the bone heals Wednesday. So that’s been tough but I truly have such hope that I will get to compete in that ring another day, I really do.”
Fans can show their support for the longest reigning Divas Champion in WWE history on Twitter with the hashtag “#FearlessNikki.”
