Nikki Bella Opens Up About Recent Health Scare, Reveals Doctors 'Found a Cyst' on Her Brain

Nikki Bella is opening up about a recent health scare.

The 35-year-old reality star and former WWE pro revealed that doctors discovered a stagnant growth on her brain.

“They found a cyst on my brain, which thank god, it’s benign,” Nikki told TMZ Sports. “I’m so grateful for my health.”

During a recent interview on The Tonight Show, Nikki explained to Jimmy Fallon that she had to retire from wrestling due to injuries and health issues.

“I really wanted to go back and fight for the tag titles,” Nikki shared. “I’ve had my neck issues, and after neck surgery, it hasn’t been okay. I [felt] like I needed to get that checkup before we went back for the tag titles.”

Nikki continued: “Then it came back that I herniated the disc above where I had surgery, I have all this inflammation around the metal, and then I have a cyst on my brain. So they were like, ‘You’re done, no more, you’re out.’”
