Nikki Bella and he🌌r sist🗹er, Brie, returned to WWE as part of the 2022 Royal Rumble. In the match, she was able to mix it up with WWE's top stars of today and yesteryear. Now, she is reflecting on her time in the match in a new interview with
Nikki said, "It was so incredible. Brie and I had a moment where we were selling on the ground during the Rumble. We were thinking, 'This is so awesome.' We just didn’t want it to end. We didn’t want to get out. It felt amazing. We were nervous at first because we hadn’t been in the ring for three years. You can go and practice, but there is nothing like a live crowd and going full at it. It was like riding a bike. We didn’t have to say a word. We didn’t miss a beat."
Furthermore, even though Nikki says she can't return full-time, she and Brie want a tag title run and Nikki wants singles bouts with former champions Bianca Belair and🐼 Rhea Ripley.
"We really hope there is an opportunity to go after the tag titles. Being in the ring with Bianca Belair, I would love to come back and work with Bianca. I would love to come back and work with Rhea [Ripley]. I’m a huge fangirl of hers. Just seeing her presence in the ring-up close, I would die to do a story with her. It felt so cool to be in the ring again with Ronda [Rousey]. She is just awesome and has an incredible presence. We all had a lot of fun in the locker room after. I really missed it, but I’m in mom mode and things are different now. I was sore for a few days. I can’t lie. The show made me think about how we can come back and do more of a story. Unfortunately, where we are at in our lives Brie and I can never be back full-time. We hope there is something soon or in the future that we can come back and do something. Just getting the taste in the ring made us want more," said Nikki.
Nikki had previously said she was benched forever. Read her past comments here.
