Nikki Bella Aligns With Stephanie Vaquer During Surprise WWE Return On 10/20 RAW

You never know who will show up next on WWE television, because they have a large roster and a list of legends who would love a call. This week on RAW, we saw the leader of the Bella Army make her return.

WWE Raw went down on October 20, at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, California. Stephanie Vaquer was on the scene to take on Roxanne Perez, but her night wasn’t over after the match.

Stephanie Vaquer and Roxanne Perez battled for a good match. The two former NXT Women’s Champions fought hard to top each other, and their match received two commercial breaks.

After Vaquer was able to fight off both Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez, she won with an Angel’s Wings. As Stephanie Vaquer celebrated, Raquel jumped her and then Perez started laying in the boots. Suddenly, Nikki Bella made her way out to the ring to help the Women’s World Champion out.

After a bit of a fight, Nikki Bella and Stephanie Vaquer were left standing tall. Then her and Stephanie hugged. During a backstage segment after that, Nikki Bella explained that she wasn’t going to let two sore losers jump her like that. She gave Stephanie Vaquer credit for taking the women’s division to the next level. She advised her that this puts a big target on her back, because anyone can take her out, and Nikki said she wishes someone would have given her the same advice when she was champion.

We will have to see what happens next in this situation, but Nikki and Stephanie seem to be very friendly. Only time will tell what kind of match gets booked out of this angle.

Nikki Bella is back in WWE, but she doesn’t wrestle as often as she used to. Her most recent WWE match took place on the September 8, 2025 episode of WWE RAW at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She faced Asuka in a singles match. Asuka won the match, and since then, Nikki Bella has not returned to in-ring competition. That is apparently going to change.
