8 Last-Minute WWE Survivor Series 2017 Rumours You Need To Know
7. ... Or Possibly Nikki Bella
That being said, Paige’s name isn’t the only one being bandied about as a possible candidate for that fifth and final spot on Team SmackDown.
The same article that The Daily Star cited from CagesideSeats.com also teased the idea of Nikki Bella making an unexpected comeback at this year’s Survivor Series.
It certainly looks like a long shot on paper, what with Bella having been away from WWE since her intergender tag match at WrestleMania 33. But crucially, her departure back in April wasn’t necessarily a permanent one, after she’d noted on her Instagram “this isn’t goodbye, just need time to heal.”
Seven months could well turn out to be time enough to do said healing, plus there are other factors to take into account, such as her recent elimination from this year’s Dancing with the Stars show and the not-insignificant side note that her fiancé, John Cena, will also be making his in-ring return at Survivor Series this weekend.
Surprising as it may be, a potential return for Nikki Bella this Sunday is starting to look entirely feasible.
