Major updates have emerged regarding the former Divas champion and WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella and her potential return at the upcoming Royal Rumble 2025. The news is creating a buzz among wrestling fans as speculation grows over whether she will make an in-ring appearance or simply grace the event with a special cameo. Bella, one of the most iconic figures in WWE history, is renowned for being the longest-reigning Divas Champion during her tenure and was famously linked with the 16-time WWE champion John Cena until their breakup in July 2018.
After announcing her retirement from WWE in March 2023, fans have been left wondering if she might step back into the spotlight. With excitement building around the Royal Rumble, let’s dive deeper into the details surrounding her potential return.
Nikki Bella: Homecoming for the WWE legend or not
Recent reports indicate that Nikki Bella has been spotted in Indianapolis, Indiana—the very city hosting this year’s Royal Rumble at Lucas Oil Stadium. While there is no official confirmation yet regarding her role at the event, speculation is rife that she could either compete in the Royal Rumble match or make a memorable on-screen appearance. Sources familiar with the situation suggest that Bella’s presence in town may be connected to other WWE-related events, including WrestleCon, which is drawing numerous legendary figures from the company’s past.
Her return would undoubtedly stir emotions among longtime fans. Bella has often reminisced about her wrestling days and the electric atmosphere of the WWE ring.
In a recent statement, she expressed her deep connection to the sport, saying, "I’ve missed it for quite a few years. I miss being Nikki Bella. I miss being around that family. I definitely miss being in that ring. When they put me in the crowd that night and to feel the energy and see the Bella Army, whether they were in the crowd or online, it starts to give you these feels."
These heartfelt words highlight her enduring passion for WWE and hint at the possibility of her rekindling that magic on a grand stage once again.
Her potential return could serve as a homecoming to the environment where she started her career at just 22 years old—a time when the WWE was like a second home.
Reflecting on her past, Bella shared, "Going home to WWE, I don’t think people understand, I started at 22. That’s all I ever knew up until a little bit ago. So, that’s been the biggest home for me and to go back and be home and the environment there is so incredible. The women were just, what a great locker room. They were just so awesome and together and one and unity and everyone back there was just so happy. You could tell the energy there right now is just incredible."
As the Royal Rumble 2025 approaches, all eyes will be on whether Nikki Bella will reclaim her spot in the WWE limelight, reminding fans why she remains one of the most beloved figures in the history of sports entertainment.
