Nikki Bella is on her way back to WWE. After making an appearance on the January 6 edition of RAW, speculation ran wild about a potential in-ring return. Now, it looks like it’s happening sooner rather than later.
According to WrestleVotes via Backstage Pass, WWE and Nikki Bella have had “significant discussions” about a comeback, and those talks have been “successful.” Bella is now expected to return in the coming weeks, though it’s unclear if this will be more than just a Royal Rumble appearance.
During a recent interview, Bella herself dropped a major hint about getting back in the ring. When asked if fans would ever see The Bella Twins compete again, she played it coy but gave a strong tease. “Will we ever see the Bella twins back? Good question. I just may be here looking at my competition soon, so stay tuned.”
Her RAW appearance wasn’t just a random visit. The WWE legend was given plenty of attention on-screen, with Michael Cole reminding fans that she was one of the driving forces behind WWE’s women’s revolution. That kind of focus usually doesn’t happen without a bigger plan in place.
Nikki previously admitted that she seriously considered signing with AEW, but ultimately, WWE remains her home. With the Royal Rumble set for February 1, it wouldn’t be a shock to see her make her return in the match. Whether this is just a one-off or something bigger remains to be seen, but one thing is certain—Nikki Bella is stepping back into the WWE spotlight.
Nikki Bella stepping back into a WWE ring isn’t just a possibility—it’s happening. With successful talks in place and her RAW appearance setting the stage, it’s only a matter of time before she makes it official. Whether she’s back for a one-night Royal Rumble return or something bigger, WWE fans better get ready, because Nikki Bella isn’t done yet.
