Nikki Garcia, also known as Nikki Bella, showed up in this year’s WWE Royal Rumble match on Saturday night 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 is after Bella previously teased making a WWE return. She and Brie Bella left WWE in 2023. Taking to Instagram, Bella reflected on the start of her 2025. She wrote the following:
“It’s giving FEARLESS ❤️🔥
The past few weeks have been just incredible. So grateful! ✨ Adventures with Teo. Eagles victories. Training at the PC and @thedungeon2.0 To spending time with my Traitors fam and WWE fam. Goodness those girls in the locker room. 🥹❤️ To gracing the cover of US Weekly to shine light and love and remind you you are stronger than you think. Grateful for the journey and here for the moment.
THANK YOU BELLA ARMY FOR ALWAYS SHOWING UP AND SPREADING LOVE!!! You know what they say…. Haters Gonna Hate, BELLAS gonna Ball! I missed you Brie Mode.👯♀️

It’s unclear when Bella will make her next WWE appearance.
