The Bella Twins’ WWE comeback just got a major twist — because now there’s a timeline, and it sounds like the end is already in sight.
While speaking on The Nikki & Brie Show, Nikki Bella revealed that she and Brie didn’t just return for a short run — they signed a two-year deal with WWE starting at the 2026 Royal Rumble.
“I don’t think you and I will ever get that last retirement moment like John or AJ Styles got, but I would love to have that because I do know that — you know, the contract we signed — we signed a two-year deal starting at the Royal Rumble.”
That alone is big — but what she said next is what really stands out. Nikki made it clear that this deal isn’t about extending their careers long-term. In her mind, this is the final chapter. The Bella Twins aren’t just back for another stretch — they’re working toward a defined ending. And for Nikki, that ending needs to feel complete.
“From the talks you and I have had, I know that’s it, that will be the end for us. I need that closure on things, so I’d love to put my kicks, snapbacks, and jersey in the ring and get that final bow.”
This comes as Brie Bella recently returned during the 2026 Royal Rumble, reuniting with Nikki, who had already been back since the 2025 Women’s Royal Rumble. Now, the two are heading into a WWE Women’s Tag Team Title match on the March 20 episode of SmackDown. But now there’s a bigger story attached to it. This isn’t just a comeback — it’s a countdown and fans have less than two years until the Bellas truly retire for good.
Do you think The Bella Twins should get a proper retirement send-off in WWE, or should they stay active beyond this two-year deal? Drop your thoughts and feedback below.
