WWE News Roundup: New Royal Rumble entrants revealed, Top star wants to face Roman Reigns, Nia Jax on Aliyah's record (January 15, 2022) 

#2. Nikki Bella addresses a few fantasy booking scenarios in WWE

Nikki Bella will be making her in-ring return at WWE Royal Rumble 2022, and she has already highlighted potential creative directions for herself following the event.

Speaking on The Bellas Podcast, Nikki expressed that she would be open to facing either Charlotte Flair (SmackDown Women's Champion) or Becky Lynch (RAW Women's Champion) if she won the Rumble:

"I’m going in to win. I’ve had unfinished business with Charlotte [Flair], so why wouldn’t I want to go back there. And then I never had business with Becky [Lynch], and I would love it."

Nikki added that she and Brie Bella — who is also returning to the ring on January 29 — could take the unexpected route after the Women's Royal Rumble match and challenge for the tag team titles:

"And then there’s the tag titles. Because I would like to be the first-ever winner of the Royal Rumble to kind of give the middle finger to both champions to go, ‘I want the tag titles.’ How badass would that be? Would I not be the coolest person to go down in history?”

While chasing after the tag team titles seems like a fitting direction for The Bella Twins, the two could very well be at odds following the Royal Rumble event. After all, the 30-person contest often features betrayals between WWE Superstars with only one ticket to WrestleMania at stake.
