After entering the WWE NXT fray in 2021, Nikkita Lyons quickly established herself as one of the most popular stars on the brand. Being one of the natural babyface figures of the show she was touted to get bigger success in no time if not her career would be marred by injuries. After returning from an injury in early 2022, she again picked up a fatal injury in early 2023 and since then we have not seen her in action.

The person behind the kayfabe attack is yet to be revealed while in reality, she has been dealing with a torn MCL which forced her to undergo surgery before entering the recovery process.

Nikkita Lyons could be having a feud with Zoey Stark after her return
After Nikkita Lyons was attacked at the WWE PC parking lot, Zoey Stark was supposed to be the person behind it. Zoey turned heel on The Lioness after the pair lost the NXT Women’s Championship match opportunity to Katana Chance and Kayden Carter. The general belief was that Zoey was the woman to do the heinous act to start a big feud on NXT but she was eventually sent to the main roster in mid-2023.
There’s no update on whether Nikkita Lyons will be main roster-bound immediately after her return to reengage in that speculated feud with Zoey Stark. The latter was involved in the program between Becky Lynch and Trish Stratus acting as the latter’s ally. After losing to Lynch at Payback, Trish was removed from TV and no other big angles have taken place revolving around Zoey since then.
