Nikkita Lyons provides an update on her recovery.

In January 2023, Nikkita Lyons suffered a torn ACL and meniscus, and she missed the next several months. She returned on the December 5 episode of NXT, and she went on to wrestle a few matches. Lyons has not competed since the January 9 episode of WWE NXT, where she lost to Blair Davenport. In February, Dave Meltzer reported in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that Lyons was dealing with an injury, but the specifics were unclear.

Speaking with Booker T and Brad Gilmore on The Hall of Fame, Nikkita Lyons was asked to provide an update on her timeline.

“It’s been two months since my surgery, and honestly, I feel like these two months went pretty quick, at least for me, because run on the grind every day. But right now, I’m hoping by Halloween Havoc. I’m hoping that’ll be a good time. But also I want to make sure…it should be ready to go. But I don’t want to say an exact, you know, like, ‘It’s gonna be here,’ because with injuries, it’s kind of day by day. Going back to the out of sight, I’m gonna stay active. I’m not going nowhere. I ain’t going nowhere. That’s why I’m shoving myself in y’all face. Y’all are not gonna see this brick house blow down. That’s where I’m at, and that’s where I cross into my music and different forms of art that I can do, still talking to the people, being involved, going to these community events and charity events, like I ain’t going nowhere. I’m just gonna continue to improve in every other way I can until I can step in the squared circle again,” Lyons said.

As of this writing, there is no word on when Nikkita Lyons will return to WWE programming.
