Nikki Bella sustains breast implant injury in shocking WWE Raw moment
On the July 28, 2025 episode of WWE Raw, WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella received a severe and painful injury during a shocking eight-women tag team match. Although the match began as you would imagine, it took a shocking twist when co-wrestler Piper elbowed Bella in the chest.
It allegedly made one of Nikki's breast implants pop right into her rib cage, which has left her in excruciating pain. Despite being injured, Nikki decided to finish the match instead of leaving early, which fans and wrestling peers summed up as her toughness.
Nikki Bella describes pain, but continues fighting in WWE Raw match
Nikki discussed the injury on her and her sister, Brie Bella's, podcast, the days after the incident. She described the moment as a "hot spot," and said the force from the elbow pushed her implant against her ribs.
It was painful to even laugh or cough since that match, she said, but she soldiered on because she didn't want to let down her team.

'I was in pain but I didn't want the match to end,'
Nikki said. '
I think my implant is stuck in my ribs. It's been hard to breathe and laugh, but I didn't want to walk out mid-match.'
Her remarks give us an insight into what the physical demands of professional wrestling looks like, even when injury is inadvertent.

Medical follow-up underway and Nikki Bella remains optimistic
Following the match, Nikki rushed to get checked out. She amusingly told how weird it was to discuss the injury shirtless in a New York clinic, literally knowing something's wrong inside. During a recent visit, medical experts confirmed the implant had been displaced and suggested additional imaging to assess the detailed diagnosis.

Nikki remained upbeat, though the injury was throroughly painful. This is what she said, and it would have to be corrected surgically, but she will make a full recovery in time.
Ongoing recovery and potential WWE absence
As for how this ailment will impact Nikki Bella for future WWE dates, that remains to be seen, but major stops like SummerSlam are less than two weeks away. She had previously teased that she might not go, but at this point, this injury could help hang up her boots for a while.

Priyanka Chopra REPLACED Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in THIS Sanjay Leela Bhansali film; Now rumoured to return in 'Love and War'
Amidst mounting speculation over Priyanka Chopra allegedly joining the cast of Sanjay Leela Bhansali 's much-anticipated film 'Love and War', reports seem to indicate that the actress could just make her return in another hit dance sequence. According to Bollywood Hungama, Priyanka's rumoured casting in Bhansali's upcoming film comes over a decade after she took over centre stage for a song sequence in 'Goliyon Ki Raasleela: Ram-Leela' back in 2013. At the time, the actress stepped in for the dance number in the Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone starrer only after Aishwarya Rai Bachchan , who was originally set to perform in the song, exited at the last minute. Buzz About Love and War The song, 'Ram Chahe Leela,' went on to become a chartbuster. Now, with Bhansali deep into pre-production for 'Love and War', featuring Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor , and Vicky Kaushal , rumours have emerged that Chopra might return for a special number in the film. However, the new report appears to have dismissed those claims. 'No, Priyanka is not doing anything in Love & War,' the source claimed. How Priyanka Landed ' Ram Chahe Leela ' Interestingly, back in 2013, Priyanka's casting in the film generated a lot of buzz. At the time, Aishwarya had reportedly agreed to return to the screen after a two-year hiatus with the 'Ram Leela' dance number, marking what would have been her fourth collaboration with Bhansali. Reports from the Times of India at the time suggested the filmmaker was determined to cast Aishwarya, even as producers leaned toward Priyanka. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Your Finger Shape Says a Lot About Your Personality, Read Now Tips and Tricks Undo In the end, Aishwarya backed out, opening the door for Priyanka's now-iconic performance. When Priyanka Denied Casting For Dance Number At the time, Priyanka, speaking to PTI, denied doing any song for Bhansali. She rubbished the reports saying, "It is an upsetting thing. Media reports keep coming about some actor doing this film or being replaced kind of stories... It's wrong... when you don't have clarity, then do not write it... by doing all these kind of stories, you give publicity to someone not needed." While her casting in the film still awaits confirmation, 'Love and War' has been generating a lot of buzz for another possible casting of Deepika Padukone in a prominent role. 'Love and War' is slated for a 2026 release.

Meet ‘Modern Family' star Eric Stonestreet's fiancée Lindsay Schweitzer
When we think of Eric Stonestreet , most of us picture Cameron Tucker from Modern Family: dramatic, hilarious, and heartbreakingly real. Away from the camera, he's found a perfect balance with Lindsay Schweitzer, his down‑to‑earth fiancée and lifelong partner in Kansas City adventure. They first crossed paths in 2016 at the Big Slick charity weekend in Kansas City, an event hosted by Eric alongside Hollywood pals like Paul Rudd and Jason Sudeikis. Lindsay was there as a paediatric nurse, and according to reports, Eric was touching the heart of a patient she'd cared for. She was instantly impressed: 'hearing him bond with that boy… it was pretty awesome.' Their friendship turned into something more when Eric DM'd her on social media to ask about the child. That message? That was the spark. They dived into a relationship that, despite the Hollywood‑to‑Midwest divide, grew stronger over years via texts, visits, and shared values. They began dating in 2016 and spent a couple of years doing long-distance: Lindsay commuting between Kansas City and L.A. while Eric was tied up filming Modern Family. But once the show wrapped and the pandemic hit, Eric packed his bags, moved back to the Midwest, and reunited with Lindsay permanently in 2020. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Simple Morning Habit for a Flatter Belly After 50! Lulutox Undo On August 22, 2021, Eric popped the question, and true to form, it came with a touch of trickery. Knowing Lindsay expected pranks, he convinced her they were shooting a test video for a possible social media campaign. With cameras rolling (and her twin nine-year-olds delivering their lines), Eric interrupted mid‑shoot and asked Lindsay to marry him. She responded with, 'Is this all a joke?' before saying yes, captured on camera, emotional, hilarious, and so perfectly their style. When is the couple marrying? Instead of diving into wedding plans, they opted to build a house together first, and make that home the venue for their future ceremony. Why not combine a wedding with housewarming? That's the plan: a backyard party in Kansas City with all their friends and Modern Family co-stars invited, he told PEOPLE. Eric jokes that he's loved everything about checking on progress, making decisions (paint colours and all), and idling around on the property mowing grass or scouting with his UTV. One of the sweetest parts of their life is Lindsay's twin boys, from a previous relationship, who Eric says are absolutely integral to their family unit. They even helped set up the proposal. Family time looks like backyard grilling (Eric's favourite), early breakfasts, evenings playing Wheel of Fortune, and bouncing ideas off each other for life and home. They prefer real, low‑flash living: staying in the Midwest, focusing on family, cooking, walking, and a shared sense of humour. Eric referred to his fiancée as someone who 'allows me to be humorous' and 'calms me' and he's clear she's not in show business, and that's precisely what he loves about her. Why this couple feels so real There's no Hollywood showmanship here, just a pair who value authenticity, soft humour, and real partnership. As Eric recently reflected, Lindsay isn't just a fiancée, she's his teammate in building a life. Whether it's building a house, navigating family dynamics, or being featured in goofy Instagram posts, their story feels refreshingly grounded in shared values, genuine partnership, and the kind of everyday love that Modern Family fans secretly root for.

WWE RAW results (08/04/2025): Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss retain tag team title, Nikki Bella confronts Becky Lynch, CM Punk interrupts Seth Rollins vs vs LA Knight, and more
WWE RAW (Image via WWE) The August 4th episode of Monday Night RAW was going to see the aftermath of the Biggest Party of the Summer, and that is exactly what fans got. From Seth Rollins and his faction - Oracle, Paul Heyman and his crew, Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker, to a face that had taken a backseat for a while - tonight's episode has a lot going on For the show in Center in Brooklyn, New York, appearances by new WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins, WWE Women's Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch, and WWE Women's Tag-Team Champions from SmackDown, Alexa Bliss & Charlotte Flair, are already set. As is the case with the rematch between Rusev and Sheamus, which is going to take place as well. Let's see what the aftermath of the SummerSlam episode has in store for us. Opening segment of Monday Night RAW (08/04/2025) The episode started with Seth Rollins and his faction walking onto the stage, with the former holding on to his brand-new WWE World Heavyweight Championship belt. Rollins addressed the crowd, gloating about his win. But while this was going on, none other than LA Knight showed up, mocking the others for what happened at SummerSlam. There was a bit of back and forth before Rollins decided he wasn't going to just stand there and listen. He walked out of the ring with his crew, leaving a smirking LA KNIGHT behind. And just when we thought this was done, the RAW General Manager walked in and announced that Rollins would have to pay the price for cheating and defend his title against Knight later tonight. Backstage, Dominik Mysterio - who is walking alongside his Judgment Day stablemates encounters Dragon Lee, and after a confrontation, they have a match set for later tonight. Rusev vs. Sheamus The opening match for tonight saw Rusev and Sheamus come together for a chaotic fight. It was intense from the beginning, as both men wanted this rematch to assert their dominance over the other. The match, though, ended in a draw after a Double Count Out. But both men were unwilling to let go of each other until the very end, and even then, the two continued until officials had to break them up before things could escalate even further. Draw - Double count out. Penta vs. Grayson Waller The next match of the night is Penta vs. Grayson Waller, and as soon as the bell rings, they both are ready. Grayson Waller starts off by shoving Penta, while the latter goes for a waist-lock. The audience sees them trading knees before hitting a double clothesline. Penta then goes for a handspring followed by a Mexican Destroyer, and finally with a corkscrew flip piledriver, Penta gets a pin and win. Penta defeats Grayson Waller via pinfall. WWE Women's Tag Team Championship As the current winners of the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship, Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss , walk in together to celebrate their victory. But soon enough, the Judgment Day duo of Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez interrupt to challenge the Alliance of Convenience. They get the permission from Pearce for an official fight, but Flair and Bliss make quick work of their opponents. And after Bliss hits a Sister Abigail on Perez, it's an easy win to retain their championship. Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss defeat Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez via pinfall. Backstage, Iyo Sky is seen chatting with the Kabuki Warriors in Japanese before Rhea Ripley comes in, asking to talk to her. She said she knows Iyo went to Adam Pearce to get a singles rematch, and Iyo reminds her that she wasn't the one who got pinned. To this, Ripley said nothing would make her happier than Iyo beating Naomi in a singles match so that Mami can come for Iyo herself. Iyo just answers cheekily that she would never be able to beat her before walking away. Elsewhere, Bayley is seen waiting for Lyra Valkyria, who essentially lost the match against Becky Lynch at Summerslam after getting knocked off by Bayley. The latter tries to apologize, but Valkyria is having none of it and walks off without saying more. Dominik Mysterio vs. Dragon Lee Dominik Mysterio goes for the first hit, but it's Dragon Lee who seems to have more power in this fight. But don't underestimate Dirty Dom, who chokes Lee on the middle rope and goes for a 619. Though Lee dodged that and almost gained the upper hand on his opponent, the appearance of not one but three El Grande Americanos led him to be confused, and taking advantage of this confusion, Mysterio got his pin and win. Dominik Mysterio defeats Dragon Lee to retain the WWE Intercontinental Championship. Becky Lynch comes in after her win against Lyra Valkyria at SummerSlam to address the audience, saying she is open to new competition. And just then a familiar music plays and in walks Nikki Bella. They exchange a couple of jabs, as Nikki calls Lynch a disappointment. Lynch finally had had enough of the Hall of Famer, and walked off the stage, but not before sucker punching Bella. Backstage, Naomi was interviewed about her big win at Summerslam, where she revealed that next week, she has a one-on-one fight with Iyo Sky. Just then, Stephanie Vaquer comes in to remind Naomi that Vaquer will be challenging a title at Clash in Paris, no matter who is holding the belt. Naomi says it will be her. Elsewhere, Becky Lynch, after her confrontation on stage with Nikki Bella, encounters Natalya and her Alpha Academy. Natalya challenges The Man for a match, and though she accepts, it's not against Neidhart but Maxxine Dupri. WWE World Heavyweight Championship Finally, the stage is set for the last match of the night - Seth Rollins vs. LA Knight. After challenging the current and brand new World Heavyweight Champion, Seth Rollins, and having the fight made official by RAW GM, Adam Pearce, Knight is finally on stage to face his opponent. It's pretty intense from the beginning, and Rollins looks like he is in control of the situation. Knight is taking on hits, and would have taken more if CM Punk had not jumped the barricade to attack The Visionary. Seth Rollins wins by Disqualification. Everyone is here, The Vision attacks CM Punk for attacking Rollins as Bron Breakker comes running in like a bull to hit Punk with a Spear. LA Knight is also hit in the process. The Vision are the winners of the night, but oh well! None other than Roman Reigns is here. He takes out both Bronson Reed and Breakker as Rollins watches from inside the ring. It doesn't take long for The Vision to destroy Reigns though, while Heyman watches from the sideline with satisfaction. The night comes to an end.
