Faith Jefferies is currently part of the largest wrestling promotion in the world. In WWE, she thoroughly entertains her fans while performing on the NXT brand division under the name of Nikkita Lyons. However, she was previously a part of Women of Wrestling and entertained the fans with the name Faith the Lioness.
Meanwhile, Nikkita Lyons walked into the Stamford-based promotion in 2021. Since then, with her exceptional in-ring abilities, she has gradually risen to prominence. However, as of now, she has been on an injury hiatus since January 2023.
Lyons suffered a torn ACL and meniscus in her right knee. This led to her being written off from WWE television for the time being. However, she later announced that she had a successful surgery and was recovering from her injury.

Meanwhile, several months have passed since then, and speculations have been going on regarding the return of Lyons on WWE television. Under such circumstances, a video of the WWE Star has come into the spotlight. The video shows the star hitting the pads ahead of her return to the ring.
Thus, it seems Lyons might soon make her return to the squared circle. It looks like she has recovered a lot and might soon grace Stamford-based promotion with her presence. Her fans will surely look forward to seeing her inside the ring as soon as possible.
When will Nikkita Lyons return to WWE?
Nikkita Lyons has been away from WWE television since January 2023. The injury she suffered was a serious one since it kept her away from the ring for a long period of time. Meanwhile, it was earlier reported that she was focusing solely on her injury rehab to make a comeback sooner rather than later. Reports claimed that she was seen rehabbing her injury within the WWE performance center.
Since news regarding Lyons’ injury came into the spotlight, fans have been wondering about the potential timeframe of her return. In that regard, it is mentionable that when Lyons appeared for an interview in February, she stated that the doctors told her that she would be away from the ring for nearly 11 to 12 months.
Meanwhile, it’s almost the end of the year, and the WWE Star has been doing great since she was recently seen sparring. Also, a few days ago, Lyons took her ‘X’ handle to make a post addressing the ones who have been supporting her throughout her recovery process. During that, she mentioned that she would be back soon.
Thus, it seems Nikkita Lyons has been closing in on her WWE return. However, it remains to be seen if she will announce any particular date for her comeback going forward. Also, it will be interesting to see who emerges as her next opponent on her return. Whatever the case, fans will eagerly wait to see their favorite superstar inside the ring.
