Nia Jax has been facing serious accusations from WWE fans following Nikki Bella’s recent ankle injury.

Bella suffered the injury during her match on the March 27, 2026, episode of Friday Night SmackDown. On the show, The Bella Twins took on Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss.

Following the match, Nia Jax and Lash Legend attacked the girls, which also led to Bayley and Lyra Valkyria coming out. During the melee, Nia Jax threw Nikki Bella out of the ring. However, many fans on social media accused Jax of causing the injury when she threw her out after the match.

Nia Jax Helped Nikki Bella Safely Exit The Ring Following Injury On WWE SmackDown

On the Nikki and Brie Show, Nikki Bella clarified that Nia Jax was not responsible for her ankle injury. In fact, she revealed that Jax actually helped her safely get out of the ring.

Nikki stated that when Nia came to attack her, she told her about her injured foot. Nia then gently threw her out of the ring, aiding her to avoid further injury.

What I want to clear up, because at first Nia had gotten a lot of heat online, she actually helped me. When it came to the end of the match, and the girls had to take us out, I knew at that point I couldn’t even put weight on my foot. I was in so much pain, I was like ‘Oh gosh, this is really bad.’

I knew what was about to happen, so when she came to take me out, I looked at her and I go ‘Please no, my foot hurts so bad.’ She goes ‘Wait, what?’ I’m like ‘I can’t get thrown out, I need to step out.’ So she helped me step out, but people made out like she injured me. No, Nia actually really helped me in that moment.
