Leading up to the 2025 Royal Rumble, rumours began to swirl that Nikki Bella was set for a return to WWE this year. Rather than simply a Rumble cameo, though, these rumours suggested that this would be a proper return for Bella.

Whether this Nikki appearance was a one-and-done one or something more, that remains to be seen. Could the WWE Hall of Famer appear on Raw tomorrow? Could she pop up on SmackDown on Friday? Either of those things could play out if Bella is indeed returning for one more run.
As for the Royal Rumble, Nikki was the final entrant in the women's Rumble match, brought Bayley's Rumble to an end after 46 minutes, and was soon dumped herself by Nia Jax - Nikki Bella being one of a record-setting nine eliminations for Nia.
