Nikki Bella received one of the loudest pops from the audience gathered at the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis after coming out to compete in the women’s Royal Rumble 2025 matchup. The experience for the returnee was one-of-a-kind and it also appeared to be so empowering that it won’t be just a one-off thing for her.
With no follow-up WWE appearances reserved for Nikki Bella on the post-Rumble editions of Raw and Smackdown, fans doubted whether her return came just for that one night. They would be assured to know that the WWE Hall of Famer intends to compete in more matches for the WWE as the year progresses.

There’s no confirmed update on her next appearance but training is underway for “this run.”
“I’m definitely doing more than what I just did Saturday. So, I’m continuing to train. And it’s just — I have felt so empowered and alive in certain ways,” Nikki Bella continued.
“Honestly, the most important thing that I’ve been getting back that I realized I have lost for so many years, which is unlike me and I never would have thought I lost it, is definitely my confidence.”
