Nikkita Lyons suffered a severe injury recently
Nikkita Lyons was replaced by Tiffany Stratton in the semi-finals of the NXT Women’s Breakout Tournament. She was supposed to be elevated into the main event, as per the speculations. Later, the 22-year-old took to Instagram to reveal that she had a partial tear in her MCL,
“Just wanted to give a little detail on what exactly happened as far as the condition. My knee is it. I have a partial tear on my MCL, just a sprain. So, it could’ve been worse but it did refrain me from being able to compete in the Women’s Breakout Tournament. So, that is why your girl is out but only for — you know the comeback is always stronger than the setback.” [quotes courtesy Sescoops]
The injury has reportedly pushed Nikkita back in the queue for the NXT Women’s Title. For the time being, she gets consumed with the feud against Kiana James. Afterward, Mandy Rose and her NXT Women’s Title could be her next target.
