Nikki Garcia Reveals Breast Implant Got Pushed Down to Her Rib
Originally appeared on E! Online Nikki Garcia had a deflating experience during Monday Night Raw. The WWE star suffered a health scare after an eight-person wrestling match July 28 during which one of her breast implants shifted inside her, leaving her in "a little bit of pain." After sister Brie Garcia asked how she was doing during the August 1 episode of their podcast The Nikki & Brie Show and pointed out that Nikki's implant is "stuck in your ribs," she shared some insight into her injury. "I had to go to the doctor yesterday to get my tit looked at," the 41-year-old said. "I was just telling Brie, I'm having conversations with my shirt off and I'm thinking in my head, like, 'I didn't think I'd be here today on my day off in New York City getting my boobs looked at knowing that my implant has moved.'" Nikki—who shares 4-year-old son Matteo with ex-husband Artem Chigvintsev—added that "it's been hard to laugh and cough" since she sustained the injury after an elbow drop from competitor Piper Niven, but she isn't too worried about it.

"We're going to get it fixed one day. I told the doctor, I go, 'Newly divorced, so the minute the boots are hung up, I'm going to come back to you and we're going to make these girls look real good, because these girls are going to get some action in the future and that can't look like that.'" Bella also playfully pointed out that "there is a little bit of a physical difference now" between Nikki's breasts, but the Dancing With the Stars alum insisted that it's "not that bad of a difference." She continued, "They still look hot." After the reveal about Nikki's implant started to make headlines, the Total Bellas alum started to receive outreach from concerned family and friends. "I literally had told Brie all of this in private and when she said it live about my implant, I was like, 'Are you kidding me?'" she recalled on the August 4 episode of their podcast. "Then yesterday it was everywhere about my implant. I keep getting text messages, I was just backstage and everyone kept coming up, like, 'Is it okay?'" But after Bella insisted that "we're all wondering" if she'll be OK, Nikki shared that she's still waiting on an official answer. "I'll know later," she explained. "I don't know yet if it exploded or not. It still seems intact. It's swollen, it hurts, but I think it might be fine." Nikki added, "I can't believe I'm loudly talking about this, but hey, it's 2025, whatever. Send well wishes to my fake boob, thank you." Keep reading for more celebrity health scares...

Total Divas Reboot: Brie and Nikki Garcia ‘Think It'd Be Amazing'
Nikki Garcia along with her sister Brie Garcia aren't just known for their takedowns on WWE. They also built a huge fanbase from the show Total Divas. A behind the scenes of their lives, the sisters gave a unique glimpse into what it takes to be a female wrestler. And they weren't alone. Over the course of nine seasons, some of the most fan-favorite female WWE stars joined them, including Nia Jax and Lana. In 2019, the iconic series was cancelled and the cast went their separate ways. But now, after six years apart, it seems like they are willing to get the group back together again. On a recent episode of SiriusXM's The Nikki & Brie Show, the sisters discussed the possibility of Total Divas coming back. Not only are they down for it, but according to Brie, everyone else is. 'I mean, everyone wants it and all the girls who were part of 'Total Divas' all want to reboot it. I think it'd be amazing,' she shared in the July 10 episode. Nikki agreed, adding that it might be the perfect time in their lives to get back together. 'I just see, especially with some of us with the Total Divas of like, when you see the success of, And Just Like That with Sex and the City, like we're all doing so many different things now in our new eras of life. That would be so cool to bring it all back together with all of us. It would just be a lot of fun and I think it would be a huge success as well.' And she's right; the original cast has definitely transitioned into new eras in life. Not only has Nikki undergone a chaotic divorce with ex-husband Artem Chigvintsev, but a lot has changed among the rest of the group too. For instance, fan-favorite Ronda Rousey has fully embarked on motherhood. After leaving WWE in 2023, she has been enjoying her two children full-time. Then there's also Maryse Mizanin, wife of Mike 'The Miz' Mizanin and total champ in her own right. Back in 2024 she revealed her precancer diagnosis after doctors found 11 tumors. A new show would give a glimpse into the past six years of their lives and their growth through trials and tribulations. Will this reunion series actually happen though? Only time will tell. Total Divas is available to stream on Peacock. TELL US – DO YOU WANT TO SEE TOTAL DIVAS COME BACK? The post Total Divas Reboot: Brie and Nikki Garcia 'Think It'd Be Amazing' appeared first on Reality Tea.

Nikki Garcia doesn't want to date following Artem Chigvintsev divorce
Nikki Garcia isn't interested in dating following her split from Artem Chigvintsev. The 41-year-old WWE star and the Dancing With the Stars professional divorced after two years of marriage last year but she isn't in a rush to find love again as she focuses on caring for her son Matteo, four, and her career in the ring and on TV. Speaking to her twin sister Brie Garcia on their The Nikki and Brie Show podcast, Nikki said: "At his age right now, I get so much love that I realise this is all the love I need and want right now." The Total Divas star explained that she has been on "a few" dates since her divorce but is refusing to "waste time and energy" looking for a new man. Nikki explained: "I was like, 'I'm not even going to waste time and energy.' I'm just too tired." She added: "I have Teo and I do career, Teo and career, so that's where I'm at." Nikki and Artem split last year after a row that saw the police called to their home and claims that she was seen as the "villain" in the divorce as she questioned the double standards of how men and women are portrayed by the media. In a preview from her appearance on Kristin Cavallari's Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour obtained by E! News, she said: "I think they make me, like, more of a villain than I am." Kristin - whose own marriage to Jay Cutler ended in 2022 - added: "Of course, you're a woman." Both Nikki and Brie believe that their jobs as professional wrestlers means that the pair are considered to be tougher than they actually are. Nikki said: "I feel like when you're badass women and you kick a** in a ring, people just assume you're not empathetic. "It's like we could go kick so much a** and, yeah, I'll pick a guy out in the crowd. I'll body slam you right now. I can do it... 'I'll pay for your hospital bill." Brie agreed: "Because we're pro wrestlers and all these things, we can come off so hard and tough." Nikki added: "I think that's the biggest misconception." The star also suggested that her WWE persona was used against her during her legal battle with Artem. Nikki said: "People bring up like, 'Well I don't know, 2017, your character in the ring.... I'm like, 'That's not real. I was playing a villain.' I was playing a character and they all think I'm that person. I mean, I heard it in court through the divorce. Because I was a strong woman, a pro wrestler."

Nikki Garcia recalls reunion with ex-fiance John Cena seven years after calling off engagement
Nikki Garcia recalled reuniting with her ex-fiance John Cena for the first time seven years after calling off their engagement in 2018. The WWE wrestler, 41 - who recently broke her silence on her brutal divorce payout to Artem Chigvintsev - opened up about the topic on the recent episode of the Honestly Cavallari podcast. It had been recorded back in March during Cavallari's podcast tour when Nikki and her twin sister Brie were guests. The former couple had crossed paths at 2025 Royal Rumble in early February 'seven [or] eight years' after they had last seen each other. 'It was very quick,' Garcia expressed, adding that it had been so out of 'respect' since the fellow pro wrestler, 48, is a 'married man' now. Cena tied the knot with Shay Shariatzadeh in 2020. 'I was in a circle talking to people. He came to [shake] everyone's hand. He shook my hand,' Nikki said. Host Cavallari told Garcia that she was surprised they did not hug which prompted the TV personality to affirm that it had only been a handshake. 'We just said, "Hello, good to see you. I think last time we were engaged. I don't know. It's been a while,"' the star remembered. 'But the thing was, when he walked away, all the girls were like, "Oh my gosh." I'm like, "Shh, shh, He's married, be respectful." And that was it.' While the interaction was brief, Nikki expressed that it had been 'nice' and added, 'It was great because breaking the ice and you know, we just both happened to be back at the same time. It's a good feeling.' After Garcia told the story of the reunion, Kristin then teased, 'Everyone wants you guys to be together.' But the mom-of-one quickly changed the subject by responding with, 'Oh, gosh. Oh, next question!' Nikki and John first began dating in 2012 but it later emerged that Cena had made her sign an alleged 75-page contract before they moved in together. Some of the bizarre demands included her 'being a "guest" in his home' and that they both have the 'same morning and evening routine.' 'We just said, "Hello, good to see you. I think last time we were engaged. I don't know. It's been a while,"' the star remembered; seen earlier this month in NYC Five years into their relationship, John got down on one knee and popped the big question to Garcia - during WrestleMania 33 in 2017. At the time, he had announced in front of the crowd: 'I have been waiting so long to ask you this. Stephanie Nicole Garcia-Colace, will you marry me?' She said yes to the proposal, which resulted in the audience in the venue to let out excited cheers. However the following year, the pair split and ended their engagement. Their wedding had already been scheduled for May 2018 which was canceled. In a joint statement at the time, per Us Weekly, Nikki and John expressed: 'While this decision was a difficult one, we continue to have a great deal of love and respect for one another. We ask that you respect our privacy during this time in our lives.' Not long after the split, the two stars reunited but officially ended the relationship in July 2018. 'After I called off the engagement, we tried to work on our relationship to get back to where it was in order to move forward with our wedding,' she told Us Weekly. 'After much time and soul-searching alone, and together, we have decided to officially part ways. I had a beautiful and loving six-year relationship with a wonderful man. I have the utmost respect for John, but I know this is what's best for me.' In her 2020 memoir, Incomparable, she got candid about their separation and wrote they both she and Cena had 'struggled to align.' 'Rather than turn and face that, I pushed it under the carpet and figured I could pretend like it wasn't there. Because I was terrified of losing my love, I stuffed my desire for marriage and kids as deep as I could.' In regards to children, she added, 'He had made it clear that they weren't on the menu for him. 'That's tough, though, because if you're inclined that way, then the more you grow to love someone, the more you want it all.' Garcia went on to welcome her son Matteo, four, with ex Artem Chigvintsev in July 2020. The pair first crossed paths when he was her partner on Dancing With The Stars - and they later tied the knot in 2022. However, after just two years of marriage, the two went through a public divorce which took place not long after he had been arrested on suspicion of domestic violence in Napa County. But no charges were filed. Last month in May, Nikki broke her silence on the brutal split and the payout she was ordered to give Artem from her 'hard-earned money.' In her 2020 memoir, Incomparable, she got candid about their separation and wrote they both she and Cena had 'struggled to align'; seen in 2023 in Nashville She had to pay her ex-husband $200k in spousal support and is also giving $3,500 each month in child support. On The Nikki & Brie Show podcast, Garcia explained, 'Our settlement is what everyone saw. Yes, I had to give him $200,000. Spousal support, alimony.' Nikki added that what she is paying her ex is 'a steal.' 'Our judge said at the end of it, "This is the first time in all the years I've done this where a woman had to pay a man. You should be so damn proud that you built such an empire that someone wants a piece of it."' The mom-of-one admitted, 'It was nice to hear that… even though it hurts because I broke my neck for that money. That money, all that is my hard-earned money.' Nikki then revealed that she is fine with the child support payments due to wanting the best for their son Matteo. She then gave a positive update on their co-parenting relationship following their publicized split last year.
