#5.) SummerSlam 2016 return
Nikki Bella had been out of action for 10 months following her program with Charlotte Flair in 2015. She had to get a neck surgery and there was a lot of tension, with Nikki being uncertain she would ever compete again. Her doctor told her as it was – that she could never compete on a full-time basis again.
In a six-woman tag team match from SmackDown Live, Alexa Bliss and Natalya didn’t have a third partner, so a mystery partner was anticipated. It was one of those “expected but unexpected” moments as Nikki Bella made her triumphant return after 10-months. She received one of the biggest pops of the night and helped her team win the match. She would go on to have a good run on SmackDown Live until WrestleMania 33.
Unfortunately, it seemed like she had re-injured her neck with the road schedule, so she was forced to go back into hiatus for the rest of the year.
