Last night at the WWE Hall of Fame, Nikki Bella confirmed that she would be present at WrestleMania to compete alongside her sister for the Women’s Tag Team Title.
The Bella Twins arrived at the show tonight, as seen on the countdown. In a video shared on WWE’s social media, the Hall of Famers addressed their condition, stating that they are ready to capture the gold.

Despite confirming that she is ready to compete tonight, Nikki appeared to be limping in the video shared by WWE, sparking concern about her condition. The camera did not show her ankle, possibly to conceal whether she was wearing a walking boot.
Several fans on social media have speculated that The Fearless One could be taken out before her match and be replaced by Paige.
