Over the past few days, reports were already out, claiming Nikki Bella’s involvement in the WWE Evolution 2025 premium live event. After her original storyline for the all-women show was scrapped due to rival Liv Morgan suffering an injury, the official poster of the show also retained her in the middle, indicating her involvement, about which confirmation came last night.
The elder Bella appeared via video package on Monday’s episode of WWE Raw to declare herself for the Battle Royal set for WWE Evolution 2025. In a pre-taped promo, she briefly mentioned her altercation with Morgan that occurred on the June 9 edition of Raw. She further cited Morgan’s attack as the reason that motivated her to take part in the upcoming Battle Royale.
