WWE Legend Nikki Bella Makes Emotional Personal Confession

Nikki Bella recently spoke her heart out in a podcast episode

Nikki Bella made a surprise return to WWE in January of 2025 at the Women’s Royal Rumble match. After that, Bella has regularly been a part of WWE programming, and her screen time was amped up in the second half of 2025 with her being in the Women’s World Championship picture.

The Hall of Famer battled Champion Stephanie Vaquer for the title at Survivor Series: War Games, but Vaquer retained the title with a win. After Raquel Rodriguez’s involvement in the equation, Bella found herself in a triple threat match with Rodriguez and Vaquer this past Monday Night on Raw, where she ended up losing via pinfall.

Nikki Bella Makes Heartfelt Confession

Nikki Bella reflected on how the year 2025 has been for her on a recent episode of the Nikki and Brie show.

She feels that she has grown since her return at Royal Rumble 2025 and revealed that she is more confident and happy after getting her groove back. The WWE Hall of Famer said she’s “fired up” for 2026.

I’m so fired up for 2026. I’m very blessed for 2025. When you look at me walking out at the Royal Rumble and you look at the girl who walked out for her triple threat title match, I am a night and day difference. This year was so amazing to me. It was such a growing year. It was me entering a brand new era and something I’ve been yearning and craving.

People say, ‘Nikki got her groove back.’ I got my groove back. I got happiness back. I found more about who I am and I’m comfortable with that. I got confidence back. I got everything back and then some. It doesn’t even look like the same girl. Being who I am and how comfortable I am, I’m fired up to go into this year. Everything is unexpected, and bring it on. I’m in the era where I’m ready for it.

Bella is also rumoured to be dating NFL star Cooper DeJean, although there is no official confirmation yet.
