Nikki Bella on potential Brie Bella WWE return: ‘Stay tuned’
Nikki Bella teased that her twin sister could be returning to WWE during a recent interview.
Nikki appeared on Raw last week to promote the Evolution 2 pay-per-view, which takes place on July 13. During the segment, she was confronted by Liv Morgan, who took offense to not being mentioned when Nikki listed off some of the top women in the division. The segment ended with Morgan hitting Nikki with an ObLIVion.
On Thursday, TMZ reported that Brie Bella is in talks to return to WWE ahead of Evolution 2 as well. However, it’s unclear if she’s expected to wrestle on the show.
Nikki was asked about Brie during a recent interview with Sports Illustrated. While she didn’t give much away, she told fans to “stay tuned.”
“That’s definitely what I’m hoping to see,” Nikki answered when asked about Brie potentially returning. “I’m not going to lie, I mean, I like having my own time but also I can’t do it without my tag partner. And so you never know. As what we love to say in WWE is, you never know what’s going to happen. It keeps us on our toes. But you gotta stay tuned.”
Brie hasn’t wrestled since the 2022 Women’s Royal Rumble. She didn’t compete at the first Evolution event but was in her sister’s corner for Nikki’s match against Ronda Rousey.
Nikki revealed recently that she’ll be in Green Bay for Monday’s episode of Raw.
Earlier in the interview, Nikki reflected on headlining the original Evolution show:
“Main eventing the first one, it meant so much then because of how far us women have come and what we were fighting for at that time. I meant every word I said on Monday Night Raw of how proud I am. And I know I could speak on behalf of all the women from the past, to see where the women have taken the division in the past six years, it’s unreal. And this is why this Evolution is so important and so epic, because we see what the women are doing, whether it’s on the PLEs or on Monday Night Raw or Friday Night SmackDown. They’re killing it.”
