Nikki Bella confirms WWE return, hints at Liv Morgan feud ahead of Evolution 2
Image via WWE Former Divas Champion and WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella is officially back in the WWE spotlight. Making her first appearance on Monday Night Raw since the 2025 Women's Royal Rumble, Nikki was greeted with both cheers and chaos as her segment was interrupted - and cut short, by Women's Tag Team Champion Liv Morgan. Liv's surprise attack, capped off with her signature Oblivion finisher, seemed to signal the beginning of a potential high-profile feud heading into the all-women's Evolution 2 premium live event on July 13 in Atlanta. Instagram update confirms ongoing storyline Days after the ambush, Nikki addressed the moment in a social media post. 'This reality show diva is still on cloud nine 🤩 Annnnd still feeling that ObLIVion…,' she wrote, while confirming her next appearance will be on RAW in Green Bay this Monday. Nikki's return to in-ring action has generated buzz, especially considering her last televised singles match took place back in 2018 - at the first Evolution, when she faced Ronda Rousey in the main event. While the Liv Morgan face-off sets up a likely singles match, rumors suggest the storyline could take a different direction. With Liv currently holding tag team gold alongside Raquel Rodriguez, and the Bella Twins previously expressing interest in chasing the Women's Tag Team Championships, a tag team bout could be on the cards. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 임플란트, 지금 시작하세요 [자세히 보기] 임플란트 더 알아보기 Speculation is already swirling about a possible return for Brie Bella, Nikki's sister and longtime tag partner. WWE hasn't officially confirmed her involvement, but with the Tag Titles last defended in April, a Bella Twins comeback match at Evolution 2 would certainly draw attention. Nikki Bella training for a serious comeback According to RAW veteran Natalya, Nikki has been training privately with both herself and Tyson Kidd in preparation for her return. Speaking to Sportskeeda Wrestling, Natalya noted that Nikki had been working hard behind the scenes for months leading up to her comeback. Natalya reacts to 'Paige in WWE' rumors During her RAW promo, Nikki Bella name-dropped Roxanne Perez, congratulating her through Liv Morgan for winning her Queen of the Ring match. Perez later responded on social media: 'Thanks for the congrats, didn't need it though @NikkiAndBrie 👑🥰 #QueenRox.' The brief mention has sparked speculation over a possible future storyline between Bella and Perez, especially with WWE focusing on merging its legends and new stars more fluidly. With Nikki confirmed for RAW next Monday in Green Bay, all signs point toward a heated build-up with Liv Morgan. The possibility of Brie Bella returning to even the odds also looms large, especially if tag team gold becomes part of the storyline. Whether Nikki stays solo or brings back the Bella Twins, one thing's certain, Evolution 2 is shaping up to be a must-watch event for the women's division. Also Read: When is the WWE Draft 2025?
