Former WWE writer predicts Nikki Bella will wrestle for the company again
Wrestling legend Vince Russo recently predicted that Nikki Bella would return to the company following her appearance on the January 6, 2025, episode of RAW.
Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Writing with Russo show alongside Dr. Chris Featherstone, Russo predicted that Bella would return to the ring after she was shown on the red brand earlier this month. Russo added that WWE currently has a lot of female stars out with injuries and that the 41-year-old could return to action.
"I have a feeling, though, bro, I think we're gonna see, just because of what I saw on Netflix, I think we're gonna see Nikki Bella again," Russo said. "One thing you've gotta say is the women's division, we talk about it [problems] all the time, but they do got a lot of women on the sideline. They do got a lot of cards that they can play over the next year." [From 15:05 – 15:31]
