It was reported last month that Nikki was working through a partially separated shoulder that was causing her some pain and discomfort but would not require time off.
Nikki is scheduled to compete at Sunday’s SummerSlam PPV in the 3-team Divas Elimination Match. She’ll be teaming up with Brie and Alicia Fox as part of Team Bella against Team B.A.D. and PCB.
