Nikki Bella is back in WWE and looking to mix it up with the women’s division. Nikki returned to WWE television on the June 9 episode of Monday Night Raw. This was her first appearance since entering the 2025 Women’s Royal Rumble at the #30 spot in February.
Natalya revealed that Nikki was offered a special perk upon her return. In an interview with the Toronto Sun, Natalya said WWE offered Bella her own locker room.
“So yesterday in the locker room, they wanted to get Nikki her own locker room. And they were like, we’re going to get Nikki Bella her own room, she’s going to have her own space, we’ll put a fruit tray in there and all this stuff that she wanted and she goes ‘No. I don’t want to change in my own locker room.'”
Natalya continued: “And this is what I love about Nikki, she goes, ‘I want to change with the rest of the girls.’ She’s like, ‘I want to be in the locker room with the rest of the girls because that’s the most special place to be. It’s about being with the girls.’ And so I love that. So she was in the locker room with us, it’s a very sacred place, the locker room.” Nikki’s Royal Rumble return was her first match since 2022. Her last singles match was at the inaugural Evolution event in 2018, a loss to Ronda Rousey.
Not everyone welcomed her return, as Liv Morgan interrupted Nikki’s promo with an Oblivion. It’s believed Morgan and Bella will face off at the upcoming Evolution 2 event next month, with hints Nikki might not be alone.
