Nikki Bella Expected To Make Surprise Return To WWE Following Talks
Nikki Bella heading back to WWE?
Jan 24, 2025
Nikki Bella (AKA Nikki Garcia) appears to be heading back to WWE.
WrestleVotes first reported there have been "significant discussions" within WWE about a return for Nikki Bella and there was a "strong expectation" in the company that the former Divas Champion would be back sooner rather than later.
TMZ has since reported that Bella and WWE have been in talks over a return and the 41-year-old is already training inside the squared circle.
PWInsider further noted that some in the women's locker room believed Bella would be returning following the WWE Raw premiere on Netflix. Bella appeared at the event, being shown in the crowd along with a variety of other guests.
Potential in-ring appearances are on the table for Bella's return. She has notably suffered from neck issues during much of her in-ring career and last wrestled at Royal Rumble 2022.
Nikki Bella was a part of WWE from 2007 until she and twin sister Brie Bella (AKA Brie Garcia) exited the company in 2023. The two sides had issues following their exit, although Nikki noted following her Raw appearance that any issues between her and WWE were in the past.
