Nikki Bella In Talks With WWE For Potential In-Ring Return​on January 23, 2025 at 9:29 pm

Nikki Bellacould be on the verge of returning to the wrestling ring — TMZ Sports has learned the former WWE Superstar is in talks to make a potential comeback with the company.

A source close to Nikki — who last appeared in the Royal Rumble in 2022 — tells us conversations are, in fact, underway … and she’s already been training in case an agreement is made.

We’re told this isn’t a longstanding development … as two sides only started engaging after her appearance at “Raw” a few weeks ago in L.A., which sent the crowd into a frenzy.

There is no current timeline for a return … but don’t be surprised if the promotion doesn’t drag its feet on making it a reality. In fact, Bella hinted at the possibility herself when she was a spectator at the Intuit Dome … saying she could be scouting her new competition.

We spoke with Nikki and her sister, Brie, back in May … and the two said they weren’t ruling out lacing up the boots again, but were waiting for the right moment to pull the trigger.

It has been a whirlwind few months for the 41-year-old — she was involved in a domestic dispute with Artem Chigvintsevin August 2024 … and hammered out a settlement to finalize their divorce in November.
