Nikki Bella retired from WWE on March 25, 2019, during the final episode of her show, ‘Total Bellas.’ She said that traveling during the European tour made her feel too old for the schedule, and she wasn’t feeling her best anymore.
But now, there’s a buzz on social media that Nikki might be thinking about a comeback. She feels like she’s missing a part of herself—the real Nikki Bella.
At WWE Raw’s big Netflix debut earlier this month, Nikki Bella felt the electric energy of the crowd and the love from the Bella Army. That moment sparked something inside her—bringing back her passion for wrestling.
On top of that, reports suggest that WWE has had serious talks about her making a comeback. While speaking to *US Weekly*, the Hall of Famer admitted she truly misses being part of the WWE world. For her, WWE isn’t just a job—it’s family.
Significant discussions have transpired between WWE and Nikki Bella for a return to the ring.

She said, “Going home to WWE, I don’t think people understand, I started at 22. That’s all I ever knew up until a little bit ago. So, that’s been the biggest home for me and to go back and be home and the environment there is so incredible.”
Fans buzz over Nikki Bella’s WWE return rumors
With the Royal Rumble coming up, fans are eager to see if Nikki Bella will make a big return to WWE. However, backstage talks suggest that if she does come back, it might not be anytime soon. Still, fans are excited and hoping to see her return soon.
