WWE NXT Star Suffers Serious Injury

WWE NXT Women's Battle Royal

One WWE Superstar on the NXT brand is set to miss some time from the ring after revealing that they have suffered a serious injury.

Nikkita Lyons caused something of a sensation when she burst onto the scene in WWE as part of the NXT brand back in early 2022. She most recently competed on the edition of NXT Level Up which aired on the 20th of January 2023 defeating Jakara Jackson. But now it looks like fans won’t see Lyons in the ring for quite some time.

Taking to social media, Lyons revealed that she has torn her ACL and meniscus in her knee, meaning she will no doubt miss several months of action:

“ACL & Meniscus are torn.This comeback is personal. Thank you to all who consistently show love & genuine support. it means the to me.Those of you who don’t see the vision, thank you too. Stay ya a** right there. This is just another lesson life needed to teach. Love.”

This is the second knee injury Nikkita Lyons has suffered so far in her WWE career. She suffered a partial MCL tear and an MCL sprain back in May 2022, which only kept her out of the ring for around a month.
