Nikki Bella spent the weekend focusing on recovery and relaxation during a spa visit as she continues to heal from a serious ankle injury that has kept her out of the wrestling ring since March.
The WWE Hall of Famer, 42, has been recovering from the injury she sustained in a match with Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair.
The setback forced her to miss WrestleMania 42 in April, a disappointment for the longtime performer who remains determined to return to the ring.
Speaking to Fox News Digital last month, Bella shared details of her rehabilitation process and the cautious optimism surrounding her upcoming medical checkups. "As of now, I get my X-rays done mid-June," she said.

"So X-rays, MRIs, to see how the growth is – did my bones fully grow back? All the things. But today I was really pumped because I got to squat for the first time."
She credited her physical therapy team and trainer for steady progress, explaining that she had advanced to a phase focused on rebuilding strength.
"So, I’ve been working with my trainer and my PT, and last week I got to move up to a level where we now get to focus on strengthening," Bella said.
"So, I will say, it’s so much work. My broken neck was way easier than this and, like, how is that possible?"

The post also included a lighthearted side of Bella, including a bikini selfie that quickly drew attention from her followers.
The spa trip seemed to serve both as relaxation and celebration of feeling well enough to travel again.
No specific update on her ankle accompanied the spa photo series, but her upbeat tone suggested confidence in her recovery process.
For now, fans can only interpret her vacation energy as a positive sign.
Bella’s combination of discipline in rehab and humor in sharing her “thirst trap” moments continues to endear her to supporters who have followed her years-long journey through triumphs and injuries.
Her recovery comes at a time when she has also expanded her professional roles outside of wrestling.
Bella recently spoke about her latest business venture, taking on the role of Chief Margarita Officer for Madam Patela Tequila.
Balancing injury rehabilitation with new opportunities appears to define her spring, with fitness sessions, brand projects, and a few well-earned spa visits filling the calendar.
Whether she steps back into the squared circle soon or not, Bella’s commitment to rebuilding both body and spirit signals she hasn’t lost her competitive edge.
For now, her fans will keep watching for that mid-June update and, in the meantime, cheering her through every post, squat, and spa trip she shares.
