WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella made her return to the company at the 2025 Royal Rumble and has since engaged in feuds with prominent roster members, including Stephanie Vaquer, Becky Lynch, and currently, Paige. Fans have mixed opinions about her return up to this point.

According to WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select, despite varying fan perspectives, WWE is pleased with Bella’s comeback. The report also mentioned that sources within the company indicated Bella has exceeded internal expectations regarding her digital engagement on social media and merchandise sales. One source even suggested that they wouldn’t be surprised to see Bella receive a larger spotlight in the future based on these impressive numbers.

Nikki Bella is currently set to challenge for the WWE Women’s Championship on SmackDown, which will take place a week from tonight. She will face either Chelsea Green or Roxanne Perez, depending on the outcome of the Women’s Title Match on this Friday’s show.
