The Bella Twins recently reunited in WWE.

Nikki Bella has been a part of the Raw brand since June, but her twin, Brie, was nowhere to be seen, ever after several months.

During the 2026 Women’s Royal Rumble match, Brie Bella finally returned, entering the bout as the #29 participant. The siblings managed to secure one elimination each, eliminating Bayley and Lyra Valyria in the process.

A couple of days later, Brie officially returned to WWE Monday Night Raw, reuniting with Nikki, as the Bella Twins announced that their sights were now on the Women’s Tag Team Championship, currently held by Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky.

The twins have also kept themselves active on social media, with one recent post seeing them call for the return of the fellow WWE legend, Saraya, fka Paige.

Their account on X responded to a nostalgia video, especially focused on four female superstars, also including AJ Lee.

Saraya Wanted To Compete At WWE Royal Rumble

Despite not being a part of WWE since mid-2022, Saraya wished to compete in the Royal Rumble match.

With Triple H promising big surprises at the Riyadh PLE, fans clung to the hopes of seeing the former Divas Champion back in the company.

However, that did not happen. During a recent podcast, the 33-year-old spoke about how much she wanted to be a part of it, while also recalling the viral social media video that showed her sparring in a wrestling ring.

A lot of people were mad that I wasn’t in the (Royal) Rumble, and a lot of people thought I was gonna be number 30 too… I’ve had that much support before but, I thought I had lost all that support, because of all my controversy. But it was just absolutely bonkers.

There was thousands of videos across all platforms on just a couple of training videos. It was at 13 million a couple of days ago and now it’s like 18 million. It is just absolutely insane. I cried one day because of it, because I’m just like, ‘I can’t believe people still love me. This is crazy.’

I wish I could be in the Rumble and there was a viral video circulating of the first-ever women’s Royal Rumble, and it was the same year I got told I couldn’t wrestle again and no one knew it at the time, and then fast-forward, I do my retirement speech day after WrestleMania but, no one knew at the time so I wasn’t part of it and I was backstage in Gorilla and I’m really emotional. They have images of me backstage just crying, just being like, ‘This is what I’ve always dreamed of.

This is what I wanna be a part of. I hope one day I can be a part of it again…’ It was viral as well, and everyone’s just like hoping that I was gonna be in this Rumble, that I finally get to be a part of that, that I’ve always dreamed of being a part of. So yeah, it was incredible. I wish I was part of it but it’s more to it. WWE has to make that decision. Not me… Everyone obviously wants me to go back.
