Nikki Garcia, also known as Nikki Bella, showed up in this year’s WWE Royal Rumble match from Indianapolis, IN, at Lucas Oil Stadium.
The surprise appearance happened when she entered the bout at #30 and mixed it up with several top stars. This was after Bella was previously teased about making a WWE return. She and Brie Bella left WWE in 2023.
On the newest episode of The Nikki & Brie Show, Nikki stated that she knows she’ll be going back to WWE at some point, but she doesn’t know when.
“Well, I agree. It made, I mean, we were talking. I had so many ideas because I know at one point, I will be going back to WWE to do something, right? I don’t know when, I don’t know the story, but it’s going to happen, and watching that, it made me feel like what I did when I broke my neck. I had moments of like, “No, this isn’t going to be career ending, I’m going to come back,” and the thing is is I come back differently, but she also had a massive knee injury, but seeing how she overcame, especially that last match that they showed in the movie, it just made me feel so many things of, you know, her age, being a mom, the mental ability and I was like, “See, I can do this, and you could do it with anyone.” It’s mind over matter. Maybe you don’t look like who the world champion is, or maybe you’re not the age of this new person that everyone’s looking at, but that doesn’t mean what you can do and conquer and achieve is over because when it’s the mind, and you can push it in that way, you can conquer anything. You can become a world champion at this age if you want. Whatever the age may be. You may have less muscles than this person, but you still can become a world champion at any age. You know what I mean?”
