Ever since Nikki Bella retired in 2018 a WWE comeback has been long speculated. The WWE Hall of Famer has previously stated she and Brie would love to return to the ring for one last run. However, Nikki’s well-documented neck issues have always halted plans of a WWE return.
On the recent edition of Sippin’ the Tea show with Ariane Andrew, The Bella twins spoke about a potential return to WWE and disclosed that doctors haven’t medically cleared Nikki to compete.
“I would love one day, like when Matteo’s maybe three, and he knows it, to have my son be ringside while his mom kicks ass. That would be amazing to me. But because he is my everything, I have to listen to the doctors and as of now, they’ve put me on the retired bench for life. So, it would take a lot of scans, x-rays, and all this different stuff for them to actually approve me to have a run and so that would be unlikely — that will be years down the road.”
Nikki Bella last wrestled in 2018 during her programme with Ronda Rousey for the RAW Women’s Championship. Earlier this year she and Brie were inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
