Nikki Bella ‘going back to WWE to do something,’ inspired by Queen of the Ring movie

After making her in-ring return at this year’s Royal Rumble, Nikki Bella is still confident she will be returning to WWE again and has been bolstered by the new Queen of the Ring movie.

On the latest Nikki & Brie Show, Bella (Nikki Garcia) again confirmed that she will return, saying, “I know at one point, I will be going back to WWE to do something. I don’t know when, I don’t know the story, but it’s going to happen.”

She said that watching the aforementioned movie on the life of Mildred Burke has inspired her training and drive.

“Seeing how she overcame, especially with the last match they showed in the movie, it just made me feel so many things of her age, being a mom, the mental ability. I was like, ‘I can do this and you can do it with anyone.’ It’s mind over matter,” the 41-year-old said.

After returning as the 30th entrant into the women’s Rumble match and surviving as one of the last four in the match, Bella said she is continuing to train for another “run.” The WWE Hall of Famer would like her sister, Brie, to join her as well.

Nikki hasn’t been an active wrestler since the end of 2018, making her return in the 2022 women’s Rumble match — her last appearance before this year’s Rumble match. Brie also wrapped up in late-2018, appeared in the same 2022 Rumble match, but hasn’t wrestled since.
