Nikki Bella made her triumphant WWE return at Royal Rumble 2025 as a surprise entrant

After a brief appearance in 2022, WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella made her triumphant return as the 30th and final entrant into Saturday night’s WWE Royal Rumble 2025 in Indianapolis.

The wrestler retired from the profession in 2019, but Saturday night was the first time WWE fans saw her in the ring since that 2022 surprise match.

Bella’s entrance was one for the ages, as fans in Indianapolis went wild once they heard her theme music playing overhead at Lucas Oil Stadium.

You could tell how fired up Bella was for her WWE return, as retirement usually isn’t permanent in professional wrestling.

Perhaps this means she’s going to appear at more wrestling events in the future?
