2: Nikki Bella

This is a decision we definitely shouldn’t rule out. Nikki Bella had been absent from WWE for 9 months before she returned and was runner-up in the first ever Women’s Royal Rumble match, and there is every chance that she will be making her presence felt once again in New Orleans.

The WWE, whether we like it or not, see Bella as one of the key women in the women’s revolution, and her largely positive reaction at the Royal Rumble will only reinforce that in the eyes of the creative team.

It is also worth remembering that Nikki has considerable backstage clout due to her relationship with John Cena. This, combined with the fact that she has never been one to stray away from the limelight, could see her hand raised on April 8th.
