Nikki Bella Taken Out On WWE Raw Return

Nikki Bella is back in WWE, but not everyone was happy to see her on Monday Night Raw as a current champion laid her out.

It was confirmed at Money In The Bank that WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella would be making her return to the company for the first time since the Royal Rumble in early February.

The timing of Bella’s return had many people speculating that she’d be a part of the upcoming all-female Evolution 2 show in July. Nikki Bella headlined the first Evolution show, where she unsuccessfully challenged Ronda Rousey for the Raw Women’s Championship.

On the June 9th edition of Raw, Nikki Bella was back, and she ran down a list of impressive female stars in the company. However, either by chance or by choice, she failed to mention one half of the current WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, Liv Morgan.

Liv Morgan soon made her presence felt as she took issue with Bella’s slight. Morgan claimed Bella was jealous of her as she had a title and a man, a reference to Nikki Bella’s recent highly-publicised divorce. After Bella hit back with a jibe about how close Dominik Mysterio and Roxanne Perez have seemed in recent weeks, Morgan took her out with Oblivion.

The altercation could well set up a match between Morgan and Bella for Evolution 2, or it could signal that a tag team title match is in the works. Morgan’s partner Raquel Rodriguez did not appear during the segment, and there has been no sign that Nikki’s sister Brie Bella is also on her way back to WWE.
