Nikki Bella: ‘WWE is home,’ comments on potential return

Nikki Bella still considers WWE home — and she isn’t ruling out returning to the ring for the company in the future.

In 2023, Nikki and her sister Brie departed WWE and began to use the “Garcia Twins” as their name in their professional endeavors. But Nikki was back in the WWE fold for at least one night on Monday, attending Raw’s Netflix premiere in Los Angeles. She was shown in the crowd during the episode and identified as “Nikki Bella.”

Bella was interviewed on the red carpet last night, where she said WWE is like home and expressed her excitement for the promotion’s new partnership with Netflix.

“Well, WWE is home, and WWE is one of the coolest events, one of the coolest forms of entertainment truly in the world. And Netflix delivers worldwide, as we’ve all seen. So I think it’s just two powerhouses that come together,” Bella said. “They’re going to make magic happen, and I want to be here for the magic. I want to celebrate all of the talent that I’ve grown up with the past 20 years, which is so crazy to say. And I want to be here [at the premiere] to just root them on.”

Though she has not wrestled since 2022, Bella, 41, has kept the door open to compete again once her son gets older. She was asked on the red carpet about the Bella Twins potentially returning to the ring for WWE.

“Ohhh, will we ever see the Bella Twins back? Good question,” Bella responded. “You know, I just may be here looking at my competition soon. So — stay tuned.”

Near the end of last year, Bella finalized her divorce from former husband Artem Chigvintsev, who was arrested for alleged domestic violence in August 2024 but did not end up facing charges.

The Bella Twins were inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as part of the class of 2020.
