Nikki Bella will be back on the next episode of WWE Raw, as announced on the Money in the Bank premium live event. While the capacity of her next appearance hasn’t been cited by the WWE, it’s been assumed that she would be utilized for the returning all-women Evolution PLE set for next month during AEW’s All In weekend.

In a graphic aired during Money in the Bank, Bella’s return was announced on WWE Raw and has been discussed for the past few weeks. This came after Cory Hays of PWN previously reported that she’d be factored into plans for the WWE Evolution 2025 Premium Live Event, into a storyline on WWE programming, that’s yet to be revealed.

After staying out of action for multiple years after becoming a mother, Nikki Bella returned, first for a brief appearance on the WWE Raw Netflix premiere in January. Later, she returned to action, competing in the 2025 women’s Royal Rumble. She eliminated Bayley before eventually being eliminated by Nia Jax. This was only her first TV match after the 2022 Women’s Royal Rumble, which was eventually won by Ronda Rousey.

Bella hasn’t competed in a singles contest in a WWE ring since coming up short for the WWE Raw Women’s Championship against Ronda Rousey at the first-ever Evolution PLE. She was later inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as part of the 2020 class.
