Nikki Bella Training Hard As WWE In-Ring Comeback Nears
Nikki Bella continues to prepare for a return to the WWE ring.
For the first time in three years, Nikki Bella was back in a WWE ring during the 2025 Women’s Royal Rumble match. Nikki was the 30th entrant in the match, and she made it to the final four.
During her WWE career, Nikki was known as one half of the Bella Twins with twin sister Brie. She was also a successful singles wrestler since she held the Divas Title twice. Nikki’s second title reign as Divas Champion lasted an incredible 300 days as she proved to the world that she was a top female star in her era.
The Bella Twins were inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as part of the 2021 class.
Since returning to the Royal Rumble, Nikki has clarified that she will return for more in-ring action in WWE. She also teased appearing at the not-so-secret return of the WWE Evolution PLE set for July, and her twin sister Brie could be with her.
Nikki Bella Is Celebrating Gains She Has Made In Training
WWE superstar Natalya has mentioned that she has helped Nikki Bella train for her return to the ring. Natalya has her own ring with her husband, WWE Producer TJ Wilson, so Nikki has been visiting her friends and getting back into ring shape.
In addition to getting the ring, Nikki revealed on her Nikki & Brie Show podcast that she has added muscle.
“I’ve been slowly getting back into lifting heavier to prep for this comeback. I told myself that exactly, a little bit at a time, you’re not gonna get super strong overnight.
“I texted my sister and my mom last week like, ‘I went up 15 pounds!’ I was so happy, and I didn’t even realize but I was just doing a little bit at a time, then all of a sudden, here I am.”
While Nikki had a good run in WWE, she also dealt with a serious neck injury that sidelined her for a long time, so clearly, she is putting in the work to prepare to be in a WWE ring again.
