During The Nikki and Brie Show podcast, Nikki Bella shared an update on her WWE status following the 2025 Royal Rumble. She stated:
“What’s crazy is sometimes these Rumbles, they go so fast. You only have a moment to get back into character, and for a lot of us who return, it’s like you haven’t been who you are in the WWE ring for years and years. There’s a lot of rumors on the internet— is this a one-off, or is she here to stay? Well, just keep tuning in.” [H/T: Wrestling Inc.]
With Nikki Bella hinting at more to come following her recent return, she also shared her dream opponents a few days ago. The former Divas Champion named Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley and Women’s United States Champion Chelsea Green as wrestlers she would love to face.
With WrestleMania 41 approaching, it will be interesting to see if any of these matches become a reality.
