Nikki Bella could wrestle for WWE again after RAW appearance, former writer predicts (Exclusive)
Nikki Bella appeared at ringside during the debut episode of WWE RAW on Netflix on January 6. Vince Russo, World Wrestling Entertainment's former head writer, believes the 41-year-old will likely return to the ring.
In 2023, The Bella Twins (Brie and Nikki Bella) left WWE and began using The Garcia Twins as their new name. The Hall of Famers' most recent in-ring contest came at the 2022 Royal Rumble, where they both entered the 30-woman match.
Russo discussed the state of WWE's women's division on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Writing With Russo alongside host Dr. Chris Featherstone. He predicted Nikki will wrestle again after watching her brief RAW appearance:
"I have a feeling, though, bro, I think we're gonna see, just because of what I saw on Netflix, I think we're gonna see Nikki Bella again," Russo said. "One thing you've gotta say is the women's division, we talk about it [problems] all the time, but they do got a lot of women on the sideline. They do got a lot of cards that they can play over the next year." [From 15:05 – 15:31]
