Nikkita Lyons shared some unfortunate news today on social media, announcing that she has a torn ACL and Meniscus, putting her on the shelf for the next several months.
WWE shot an angle on Tuesday’s episode of NXT where an unknown person attacked her in the parking lot at the Performance Center to write her off television while she recovers.
Lyons announced the news in the following post:
“ACL & Meniscus are torn. This comeback is personal. Thank you to all who consistently show love & genuine support every week. You have no idea how much it means 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, Light, & Positivity always,” Lyons wrote.
In 2018, she started her pro wrestling training under Selina Majors before making her Women of Wrestling debut under the ring name “Faith The Lioness.” She went to Las Vegas in the summer of 2021 to take part in WWE tryouts and was signed by the promotion. She made her NXT TV debut in December 2021.
We wish Lyons a speedy recovery.
