WWE superstar Nikki Bella has dealt with a slew of serious injuries in her wrestling career. But it's hard to imagine one as horrifying as the one she suffered on WWE RAW this week.

On the latest episode of her "The Nikki & Brie Show" with her sister Brie, Nikki Bella revealed that during an eight-woman tag team match this week she suffered an extremely rough injury. She said that she took an elbow drop from Piper Niven that caused her breast implant to shift all the way to her ribs.

Bella said that the injury has been so rough because it's made it hard for her to laugh and cough.

"Piper's elbow drop? Yeah, put the implants right into the ribs," Bella said. "It's been hard to laugh and cough, but it's okay, we're gonna get it fixed one day."

Oddly enough, Bella said that she plans on putting procedures to get the issue fixed on hold. She said that she doesn't plan to get any more work done on her body until she's ready to call it quits in pro wrestling for good.

"I told the doctor, newly divorced," Bella said. "So the minute the boots are hung up, I'm coming back to you and we're gonna make these girls look real good. 'Cause these girls are gonna get some action in the future, and that can't look like that."

Why in the world Bella would put off something that sounds like it's causing her so much pain and discomfort is beyond us. Unless it's just bravado or not as serious as she made it sound, she must simply be made of tougher stuff.

A long road back to wrestling.

Bella returned to wrestling earlier this year after more than five years out of action following the discovery of a brain cyst in 2019. This past July saw her return to singles wrestling action for the first time since 2018.

Having missed so much time in the ring, Bella appears determined to make up for it by any means necessary.

In the meantime, we can only hope the injury isn't nearly as painful as it sounds.
