Nikki Bella Training For Comeback After WWE Talks

Nikki Bella is closer than ever to an in-ring comeback.

On January 23rd, it was reported that “significant discussions” had taken place regarding a WWE return for Nikki Bella.

The star narrowly avoided retirement in 2016 but returned to action after undergoing neck surgery. However, she retired three years later owing to problems with her neck and the discovery of a benign cyst on her brain. Bella made a one-off return in the 2022 Royal Rumble match but otherwise has remained out of the ring.

Nikki and her sister Brie left WWE in 2023 and announced they would be known as the Garcia Twins going forward.

Talks of a comeback for Nikki started in early 2025 after she appeared on the January 6th edition of Raw. On the night the show debuted on Netflix the Hall of Famer was interviewed on the red carpet and later shown in the crowd.

Nikki Bella Already Back In Training

According to a further report from TMZ Sports, talks between the star and the company are indeed underway. Furthermore, according to a source close to the former Divas Champion, she’s been training hard in anticipation of a deal being reached.

In late 2024, Nikki Bella settled her divorce with her now ex-husband Artem Chigvintsev after he was arrested at their home following a domestic incident in August. The pair reached an agreement before their divorce proceedings went to court, and they will share custody of their four-year-old son.
