Nikki Bella is heading back to primetime television as part of a brand-new batch of Celebrity Wheel of Fortune episodes.
According to Deadline, Disney is launching ten exclusive streaming episodes of Celebrity Wheel of Fortune on June 12 across its streaming platforms. The episodes will still eventually air on ABC later, but the initial release will happen through streaming first. The new season will continue featuring Ryan Seacrest and Vanna White as hosts while celebrities compete to win money for charity.
Among the celebrity lineup announced for the exclusive episodes is WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella. Bella will appear alongside Jamie Lynn Sigler and Dan Bucatinsky during one of the celebrity matchups.
The streaming-exclusive move is a notable change for the longtime game show franchise, which had traditionally aired only through ABC’s regular television lineup during the Pat Sajak era. Disney previously experimented with streaming-first programming by moving Dancing with the Stars to Disney+, but this marks the first time original Celebrity Wheel of Fortune episodes will debut this way.
The celebrity roster for the new batch of episodes also includes names such as Los Angeles Dodgers stars Freddie Freeman and Kiké Hernández, Hasan Minhaj, Sarah Chalke, Jake Johnson, Vanessa Lachey, Action Bronson and Jordin Sparks.
For Nikki Bella, the appearance adds another major television project to her growing list outside the wrestling world. Now she will get the chance to spin the famous wheel and compete for charity during the new streaming rollout for one of television’s most recognizable game shows.
