WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella has confirmed that The Bella Twins, consisting of herself and her sister Brie Bella, are planning an in-ring return to WWE. This is a major get for the company as the WWE Hall of Famers bring outside eyeballs onto the product.
Nikki Bella made a surprise comeback to WWE earlier this year as an entrant in the Royal Rumble match. Following this appearance, she publicly stated her intentions to return to WWE in a more substantial role in the future. While the specifics of her return, including the timeline and storyline, were not disclosed at the time, Nikki shared her desire for their comeback to be meaningful.
While Nikki has been vocal about her readiness to step back into the WWE ring, the status of her twin sister, Brie Bella, has remained somewhat uncertain. However, during a recent joint appearance on Busted Open Radio, The Bella Twins addressed the possibility of a comeback as a duo. Nikki definitively stated that she is prepared to compete and is awaiting Brie to join her, confirming that a Bella Twins reunion in the ring is indeed on the horizon.
"I'm waiting for this one to join me in the ring, so yes, there will be a Bella Twins comeback," Nikki gestured towards Brie, solidifying the news for their fans.
Adding fuel to the speculation of a potential return, reports surfaced last month from WrestleVotes and Bodyslam.net's Cory Hays suggesting that WWE Evolution 2, a premium live event focused on the women's division, is scheduled for this summer. It was specifically mentioned July 5, 2025, as a possible date for this highly anticipated event.

Further teasing their future plans, earlier this month on their joint podcast, The Nikki & Brie Show, Nikki Bella offered some insights into their upcoming career moves. The Bella Twins had already confirmed their appearance at WWE World, a fan event held during WrestleMania 41 weekend in Las Vegas. During their podcast conversation, Nikki also hinted at a "big announcement" that is slated for July, aligning with the rumored timeframe for WWE Evolution 2.
Nikki's return to the WWE Universe earlier this year began with an appearance on the Raw on Netflix premiere in January, followed by her surprise entry as the #30 participant in the Women's Royal Rumble match at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

Her involvement in the high-stakes Rumble match, where she interacted with several key figures in the women's division, ignited speculation that her return in 2025 would be more than just a one-off appearance.
It is worth noting that The Bella Twins had previously stepped away from active competition in WWE in 2023, making their impending comeback even more eagerly awaited by their fanbase.

Goldberg Provides Concerning Update Ahead Of WWE Retirement Match
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg is navigating an intense and challenging preparation for his final match under the WWE banner, providing candid updates on his CarCast podcast. He revealed he knows the undisclosed date for his 2025 retirement but is facing significant physical hurdles at age 58. "I know the date (of my retirement match). No one else knows the date public-wise," Goldberg stated (H/T to Fightful). He described the unique undertaking: "And so, at my age, you obviously have to do a lot of different things to get yourself prepared for what I'm about to embark upon... it's uncharted water because not many people my age have done this." His goal is to deliver a performance true to his legacy. "I'm not just showing up to show up. I need to show up and be me and I've tapped into me a little bit more as of late." However, the path has been fraught with difficulties. "...my training, with all injuries and with my age, it makes it extremely difficult to get prepared without going overboard... I hurt myself a couple times in the past three months. But, I pulled back," he admitted. Goldberg emphasized the struggle to balance his warrior mentality with his body's current limitations, especially during Muay Thai training. "It's really tough to have the mentality I do but to have the body that I do now, with the mileage on it... There's a huge balance."

LAS VEGAS, NV - JULY 08: Bill Goldberg speaks at the roundtable panel during HISTORY's Live Event 'Evel Live' at Omnia Nightclub at Caesars Palace on July 8, 2018 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Despite the toughness, there have been positive moments. "I've been in the ring a couple times. I'm gonna get in the ring again today and it's just tough... Me doing that right there, that was the first day that I felt really good," he shared. Goldberg also discussed the "unrealistic" high bar he sets for himself and the challenges of gaining "good weight." "I eat eight times a day... I was almost up to 270 and I had to back off because I could not function. I felt horrible," he recounted, explaining he has since adjusted his diet. He is determined to impress in his farewell. "Man, I'm never gonna be the way that I used to be by any stretch of the imagination. But dammit, for a 58-year-old guy, I'm gonna be in some seriously awesome shape and I'm gonna freak some people out I believe," Goldberg stated. More news: WWE News: Steve Austin Reveals Real-Life Vince McMahon Confrontation He even hinted at a potential change to his iconic ring attire: "I'm terrified to put those underwear, those trunks on again. I may even go with different kind of trunks, for the only time in my life." The WWE legend is also managing existing injuries. "I'm extremely limited because of my left knee. I can't run... it hurts," he said, noting he uses a sprint bike for cardio. He's also rehabbing a right shoulder that has troubled him for five years: "Hell, I'm working around my shoulder that... six months ago, I couldn't do this (lift my arm). I'm pretty strong now... I haven't been able to use my arm for five years... and I've had to retrain myself to do the normal, daily things." Goldberg's final WWE match is widely expected to take place "in the South," with considerable speculation pointing to the Saturday Night's Main Event on July 12, 2025, at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia—a city with deep personal and professional ties for him.

'I've Been Right All Along' - Seth Rollins Slams WWE Fans' Biggest Theory
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. WWE Raw superstar Seth Rollins has pushed back against the perception that he is a heel. Instead, he insists in a recent interview with Kay Adams that he remains a good guy, aka a babyface. He has also said that the recent controversial alliances are simply a case of others recognizing the fact that he is right. This comes as Rollins spearheads a new dominant faction on Monday Night Raw alongside Paul Heyman, Bron Breakker, and Bronson Reed. When asked about his current on-screen persona, Rollins stated, "I'm not [a heel], I'm a good guy. I haven't changed a bit." He explained, "It just so happens that people have come to me. People have flocked to me." "I've been right all along!" Seth Rollins has something to say to every WWE fan calling him a villain. 👀 @heykayadams | @WWERollins — Up & Adams (@UpAndAdamsShow) June 5, 2025 Rollins pointed to his claimed WrestleMania 41 success as validation: "Now look, I saw you before WrestleMania. I told you before WrestleMania exactly what was going to happen. I was going to put it to Roman Reigns. I was going to put it to CM Punk. I was going to win the main event of WrestleMania. I did all that. Absolutely nothing changed." Seth Rollins gestures to the crowd during WWE Monday Night RAW at Toyota Center on March 11, 2024 in Houston, Texas.

Regarding his new stablemates, Rollins commented, "Then you see, Bron Breakker, he wants to learn from me. Bronson Reed, we had a little thing last year, but now there's a lot of respect between the two of us, and we're off to the races." When Kay Adams directly asked if he considered himself a heel, Rollins responded, "No, absolutely not. No, not." He then delivered a message to WWE fans who view him as such: "I've been right all along. I know you, you're new to WWE, but for all the WWE fans out there that are watching, I have been right every step of the way, and I have pulled you guys kicking and screaming through the mud." Rollins proclaimed, "...and now we are in the greatest version of WWE of all time, and so I will continue to be that person that leads us into the future, whether you think that I am right or not."

Dominik Mysterio Continues To Bury CM Punk In Hilarious Fashion
Dominik Mysterio really doesn't like CM Punk and isn't afraid to let the world know why he feels that way. WWE Intercontinental Champion Dominik Mysterio was a recent guest on Casual Conversations with The Classic. When asked about how he feels about CM Punk nowadays, Mysterio didn't hold back on burying Punk in hilarious fashion. Advertisement 'I think we just both mutually hate each other equally,' Dominik Mysterio began. 'I f*cking hate CM Punk, I don't know what it is about that guy, I don't know if it's because he looks like Eddie Munster and I want to kick him in the f*cking face. Or the fact that everyone is like, 'He finally did it, he finally got his WrestleMania main event.' Good for you, old man. 60 years old, it took you what, 45 years to accomplish your one goal? It's about time. 'It's what they say about babies. When they have tantrums, you give them what they want so they shut the f*ck up. I'm pretty sure that's what happened. That's why he needed a favor from Paul Heyman. There is a reason he was never in the main event. You call yourself the Best in the World. I don't need to go around calling myself the Best in the World. People know I'm better than the best. 'I don't need to call myself Best in the World at 70 years old. People do it for me. You have [John] Cena talking about me, JBL, AJ Styles, legends talking about me. I don't need to do it for myself or say these things about me because people say it for me. My work speaks for itself. Here you go with CM Punk. I could go on this rant forever, but I need to stop myself.'
