Nikki Bella returned to WWE during the 2025 Women’s Royal Rumble Match at Lucas Oil Stadium. Bella entered the match at number 30, immediately confronting Nia Jax upon her arrival.
Multiple competitors joined forces against Jax following Bella’s entrance. The WWE Hall of Famer, who previously departed the company alongside her sister Brie Garcia, demonstrated her willingness to compete.
The relationship between WWE and Bella has shown signs of improvement. While the company previously avoided mentioning her name during USA Network’s Barmageddon promotions, her return to in-ring competition signals a change in their professional relationship.
YOU CAN LOOK, BUT YOU CAN'T TOUCH!
