Nikki Bella isn’t off the table for WWE Evolution 2 just yet. Despite Liv Morgan’s recent injury forcing major creative changes for the all-women’s premium live event, WWE still has plans for the Hall of Famer to appear.
Nikki made her return to WWE television on the June 9 episode of RAW, where she confronted Women’s Tag Team Champion Liv Morgan. The segment ended with Morgan dropping Nikki with an Oblivion, setting the stage for a match at Evolution—either a singles bout or a tag match also involving Brie Bella and Raquel Rodriguez.
Those plans were scrapped after Morgan suffered a dislocated shoulder, leaving her off the Evolution card entirely. Nikki hasn’t been seen on TV since, though she was backstage for the June 23 episode of RAW.
But even with the original match scrapped, Nikki’s status hasn’t changed. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE still plans to feature Nikki at Evolution 2, though no official match has been announced.
The former Divas Champion is also still front and center on the promotional poster for the event, signaling that WWE isn’t done with her just yet.
Nikki Bella showing up at Evolution 2 might not look how WWE originally planned—but let’s be real, they weren’t putting her face all over the poster for nothing. Whether she’s stepping in the ring or stirring the pot in another way, you can bet the Hall of Famer isn’t just showing up to sit in the crowd.
