Nikki Bella might be lacing up her boots sooner than expected. After her appearance on RAW earlier this month, speculation has been non-stop about whether she’s making an in-ring comeback. Now, it looks like that return could possibly be happening at the Royal Rumble.
According to Fightful Select, “Nikki Bella’s name was discussed among talent as a possible Royal Rumble entrant.” That’s a major development considering previous reports from WrestleVotes via Backstage Pass, which stated that WWE and Nikki had “significant discussions” about a return—and those talks have been “successful.”
Bella has already dropped some major hints herself. When asked about a comeback, she played it close to the chest but didn’t shut it down either. “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 on January 6 wasn’t just a casual cameo either. WWE made sure fans were reminded of her impact on the Women’s Revolution, and when that kind of focus is given, it usually means something big is in the works.
There was even a time when Nikki considered signing with AEW, but WWE remains her home. With the Royal Rumble happening on February 1, this could be the perfect setting for her return. Whether she’s back for a one-night moment or a bigger storyline remains to be seen, but one thing is certain—Nikki Bella isn’t done with WWE just yet.
