Earlier: Nikki Bella is undergoing a C6-C7 cervical fusion this morning. The 2-hour procedure will determine the fate of her in-ring career. During an interview with E! Online earlier this week, she explained that she basically has a broken neck, a pretty bad herniated disk. Nikki explained.
“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.”
