Why WWE Pulled Nikki Bella From Raw

Nikki Bella

Nikki Bella had to be pulled from a planned appearance on WWE Raw.

Nikki Bella recently returned to WWE ahead of the second edition of the all-female Evolution show taking place in July. Bella was confronted by WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion Liv Morgan on Raw, which looked like it could be heading to a showdown between them. Reports have suggested Brie Bella is in talks about a return, with many speculating The Bellas could be set for an unlikely run with tag team gold. But all of that now looks to be up in the air.

On the June 16th edition of Raw, Liv Morgan suffered a serious injury, which led to her match with Kairi Sane being abandoned. Morgan will be forced to undergo surgery and could be out for six months, which means any Evolution match looks to be scrapped.

Nikki Bella Doesn’t Appear On WWE Raw

Speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted that Nikki Bella had been at Raw and was set to appear to further the story with Morgan. However, once Morgan was injured, WWE changed plans and pulled Bella from the show entirely.

It remains to be seen what this situation will mean for Nikki Bella’s match at Evolution and what it means for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship.
