Nikki Bella Reportedly Taking Time Off WWE Following WrestleMania 33, Backstage News on Her WWE Future and Contract Status

February 7, 2017

According to Pro Wrestling Sheet, Nikki Bella will be done in the ring after WrestleMania 33, however she will not be leaving WWE.

Sources with direct knowledge note Nikki had been trying her best to deal with the pain her neck has been feeling while also traveling a full-time schedule, however, it’s become too much.

The pain reportedly often causes numbness to one side of her body, so she’s hoping some time away will allow her to wrestle every once in awhile for WWE at big events in the future.

Nikki’s contract is also up around the same time as WrestleMania, but those close to the deal believe she and WWE will agree to a new one before WM33 that would keep her around for the foreseeable future.

Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.

Nick attended New York University and graduated in 2001 with a degree in Drama.

Nick first entered the internet wrestling community back in 2004 when he became the co-host of The Voice of Wrestling Radio Show. From there, Nick made the transition from radio personality to editor when he began working with WrestleZone in 2008.

Nick is a member of two Off-Broadway theatre companies, Another Urban Riff, and the Drama Desk Award winning Godlight Theatre Company. Nick has appeared in over a dozen Off-Broadway plays since he moved to New York City, and has shot several short and feature length films. In 2010, he completed principle photography on a film titled "How to Score Your Life," which also features TNA Knockout ODB.

Inspiration in his life has come from many people including his family, Woody Allen, Steven Spielberg, Jack Nicholson, The Beatles, and of course, Lassie.
