Fans are eagerly awaiting the Bella-lution on tonight's WWE Raw. The last time Nikki Bella was seen in the ring was during the 2025 Women’s Royal Rumble, where she entered at the coveted number 30 position, eliminating Bayley before being taken out by Nia Jax.
Following her Royal Rumble appearance, Nikki Bella hinted to her fans that this return is not just a one-time event but a precursor to more in-ring action. It was confirmed during this Saturday’s Money in the Bank event that the longest-reigning Divas Champion will indeed be present on WWE Raw.
