Initially booked for a separate singles or tag match at WWE Evolution 2025, Nikki Bella will now participate in the Evolution battle royal instead. The original storyline pitched for her around the PLE came to a screeching halt just after it began, last month, due to injury reasons. But it admittedly opened a new gate for her, containing a new opportunity that she now wants to capitalize on.
On this past Monday’s episode of Raw, Nikki Bella confirmed she would be competing in the women’s battle royal at the Evolution 2 Premium Live Event. While fans wonder if she’ll actually win the bout, it appears Bella believes a win could be the perfect way for her to kick off a long-term comeback.
While speaking on this week’s Raw, Nikki Bella confirmed that she will be competing at WWE Evolution 2025 in the scheduled battle royal, presenting a future championship match opportunity to the winner. Unlike the regular roster members, this match is something that allows the elder Bella to prove her haters wrong, and she’s extremely excited to step into the ring.
WWE Evolution 2025: Nikki Bella Hints At Reunion With Sister Brie At PLE
While speaking on Busted Open Radio, the longest-reigning Divas Champion of all time talked about competing at WWE Evolution 2025, where she’ll be part of the battle royal. Admittedly, she’s aiming for that big winning moment that will not only earn her a title match in about a month but will also extend her WWE run for just beyond a couple of months.
Winning this match at WWE Evolution 2025 would mean a lot to her because Bella sees this one as a perfect way to kick off a strong comeback, which will allow her to stick around the WWE and her Bella Army for a long time. Bella also mentioned that sometimes things work out in unexpected ways. While the story with Liv Morgan would have been the end of her run, now the battle royal might open the door to a new beginning.
“I’m so excited to be part of the battle royal. I want that big moment. To have such a big moment, I really, really wanna win because I think this is the perfect way to start a great comeback — a comeback that isn’t here for just a month or two, it’s here for a while.” Nikki Bella said on participating in the WWE Evolution 2025 battle royal.
“I think sometimes things work in funny ways. The Liv story, maybe that would’ve been it, and maybe now the battle royal just opens up a whole new beginning of things.” (quotes courtesy Ringside News)
