WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella is ready to make her return to the ring. After staying away from wrestling for a long time, Nikki has confirmed that she will compete at the upcoming WWE Evolution event. The former Divas Champion shared the news during a segment on Monday Night Raw aired on July 7, where she addressed her fans through a pre-recorded video message.
This announcement comes after weeks of speculation about her possible return. Nikki has now made it official that she will enter the Women’s Battle Royal, a high-stakes match at WWE Evolution scheduled for July 13 at the State Farm Arena, Atlanta, Georgia.
Winner Gets a Shot at WWE Women’s Championship
The Women’s Battle Royal will not just be a regular match. WWE has confirmed that the winner will earn the right to challenge for the WWE Women’s Championship at the next premium live event, Clash in Paris. Nikki, known as The Fearless One, expressed her desire to become champion again and said she wants her son, Matteo, to see her competing at the highest level.
“I want a chance to become champion once again,” she said in her message, adding that the energy of Liv Morgan’s recent return gave her a fresh push to step back into the ring.
Plans Changed After Liv Morgan’s Injury
Initially, fans expected a possible singles feud between Nikki Bella and Liv Morgan, especially after their on-screen interaction in previous episodes of Raw. However, WWE dropped those plans due to Liv’s reported injury.
There were also rumours that Nikki would team up with her twin sister Brie Bella to challenge for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship, but that storyline was also shelved. Instead, Nikki is now stepping into the spotlight as a solo competitor in one of WWE’s most unpredictable match formats.
WWE Evolution to Mark Nikki’s Major Comeback
Nikki Bella’s last major run in WWE ended years ago, and since then, she has stayed active in media appearances, business, and family life. Her return to the ring at Evolution marks a fresh chapter in her WWE journey. For longtime fans, her return adds nostalgia and star power to the all-women’s event.
Despite not getting the expected one-on-one feud or a tag team reunion, Nikki still gets a shot at glory. A win at Evolution could place her right back into WWE’s main title picture — and possibly, Paris could see her challenging for the belt.
Nikki’s WWE Legacy and Personal Life Connection
Apart from her successful wrestling career, Nikki Bella remains in the spotlight due to her past relationship with WWE superstar John Cena. While both have moved on in their personal lives, the association still draws public interest.
Now, with her return to action, fans are once again eager to watch her in the ring — this time not as Cena’s partner, but as a fearless wrestler hungry for gold.
