It is extremely rare for a wrestler to go their entire career without being injured. Unfortunately, some people suffer from more injuries than others.
That has been the case for Nikkita Lyons recently, as she has been sidelined once again.
She began her professional wrestling training with Selina Majors in 2018 before making her Women of Wrestling debut as “Faith The Lioness.” She traveled to Las Vegas in the summer of 2021 to participate in WWE tryouts and was signed by the promotion. She made her NXT television debut in December 2021.
Lyons suffered a torn ACL and meniscus in January 2023, forcing her to miss months of action before returning to the ring on the December 12th episode of NXT TV. She worked several matches after that. Her most recent bout was on the January 9th episode of NXT, where she defeated Blair Davenport.
In the most recent edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer stated that “Nikkita Lyons is injured again, just coming back from a injury.”
It is unclear what the specific injury is. We wish her speedy recovery.
