Even though all that hard work paid off with her Slammy win, Nikki is currently on the shelf because all of that hard work took a toll on her body. Her injuries are neck and spinal related and have previously been reported as a potentially career threatening injury.
The latest update on her injury status claimed that Nikki Bella would know by the end of the year when her return date will be. However, that is actually being pushed back even further to late January or early February.
Nikki has posted the following Tweet updating the WWE Universe on her status:

Nikki hasn’t wrestled since October 26th on Monday Night Raw. It’s unfortunate because there is still a lot for her to do in WWE and she will return the top heel in the Divas division. In a lot of ways, she is the identity of the current division, and her absence has forced many other Divas to change their game up.
We’ll keep you updated as news becomes available, but Nikki Bella remains on the shelf for now.
