WWE Star Returns To The Ring After 8 Months Out

There is good news for one WWE star as they return to the ring following a second long injury layoff in the space of two years.

Back in January 2023, Nikkita Lyons suffered a serious knee injury that would keep her out of action for much of the year. The star had been finding some momentum on WWE’s third brand and was regularly featured on the show.

After a gruelling rehabilitation program, Lyons returned to television that November, before getting back in the ring the following months. However, Lyons was quickly back on the injured list leading to another long layoff in the infancy of her wrestling career.

Now, however, there is good news as Nikkita Lyons returned to the ring for the first time since losing to Blair Davenport on the 9th of January 2024 at an NXT live event in Davenport, Florida on September 27th. Lyons teamed with Dante Chen to win a mixed tag team match.
