The WWE Hall of Famer came back from retirement last month, which means she is now constantly on the road touring the US for RAW, SmackDown and house shows.
The two-time women's champion admitted it gets lonely when she spends the night in hotel rooms.
That is why the ex-Divas Champion joined Raya, but she is only interested in texting to kill the time.
Bella told Cody Rhodes in What Do You Wanna Talk About: "Since I've been back on the road… it kind of gets lonely in hotel rooms and not like I want to be on Tinder, but I think it would just be fun to text people.
'I don't want anything now. Like, I don't want anything serious for years, because I don't want anything to interfere with my son and I.
'And I don't want my son to meet anyone. I just want him to have his mom and his dad, and that's it. I think that's healthy for him right now.
'So I don't want anything like that to happen for like, years, and I don't even want to give my energy to someone.
"Like, I'm raising him, and that's all I want to give my energy and time to. I think it would just be fun to text people."
Bella was in a six-year relationship with WWE legend John Cena, whom she got engaged to at WrestleMania 33 in 2017.
However, the former celebrity couple never got married as they broke up a year later.

The wrestler then married her former Dancing with the Stars partner Artem Chigvintsev in 2022, two years after she gave birth to their child.
The pair divorced in 2024 after Chigvintsev was arrested for felony corporal injury to spouse or cohabitant for allegedly attacking his then wife.
Rhodes asked Bella what type of man she would like to date when she's ready for something serious.
She responded: "I have always loved, like a businessman, but that has swag.
'You need to have swag… I don't like just straight up business. There needs to be a cool vibe.'

Soccer Saturday's iconic stars and where they are now after axe fell on beloved line-up
Sky Sports' Soccer Saturday has been a huge hit with football fans for decades, but the programme has undergone a number of changes in recent seasons with varying degrees of success Soccer Saturday has long been a weekly ritual for British football fans, but the show has undergone significant changes in recent times. The immensely popular Sky Sports programme has given fans countless unforgettable moments over the years, catapulting the likes of Jeff Stelling, Chris Kamara, Phil Thompson, Matt Le Tissier, Charlie Nicholas and Paul Merson to broadcasting fame. Since its inception in 1998, Soccer Saturday has remained a staple part of many football fans' weekend routines. However, ahead of the 2020/21 season, major alterations were made to the line-up, with long-standing analysts Thompson, Nicholas and Le Tissier all being shown the door. Former host Stelling announced his intention to step down at the end of the following campaign but stayed on as presenter until 2023, while Kamara chose to depart one year earlier. Mirror Sport takes a look at the former Soccer Saturday cast and what they've been up to since leaving the show, which has taken a new direction with a fresh set of pundits. Jeff Stelling Having hosted Soccer Saturday for roughly 25 years, Stelling finally hung up his broadcasting boots in 2023. His boundless enthusiasm, extensive knowledge of clubs across the UK, and ability to manage the rolling score updates made him a firm favourite among viewers. "It is now the right time to move on and give Sky Sports viewers a break from my relentless rants, bad gags and over the top celebrations of Hartlepool United goals," he said in 2023. "It's been a lot of fun - for me at least!" He later started presenting for talkSPORT and opened up about his Sky departure to The Guardian: "I had the most fantastic run on the show; I made the greatest mates and was paid well for one of the best jobs in the world. But the show was heading in a direction which meant it wasn't quite the same. "Even though I'd been there a long time, I felt some of my views weren't considered at all. Every week I was fighting a battle. I got tired of fighting and it was making me ill. Eventually, I went to Sky's management and said: 'This is making me unwell. I've got to step away from it.'" The ex-Soccer Saturday presenter, who has been succeeded by Simon Thomas, has toured UK theatres in the past with Q&A shows called 'An Evening With Jeff Stelling'. Here, he chats about his Sky Sports presenting career while sharing countless anecdotes from his time in the business. Phil Thompson Liverpool legend Phil Thompson was among the initial batch of alterations to Soccer Saturday's most recognisable line-up. Thompson, 71, did acknowledge the decision to replace him was handled with care. Following his departure from the programme, he tweeted: "I've had a great 22 years with @SkySports. Enjoyed every minute with some amazing people on the show and behind the scenes which made it the iconic show it is today." Having established a quartet of pundits alongside Nicholas, Le Tissier and Merson, Thompson added: "It was three parts of a midfield. The others could have continued." Since departing Sky Sports, Thompson has remained active as a pundit across different platforms and also operates as an after-dinner speaker. Matt Le Tissier Southampton legend Matt Le Tissier was among the legendary trio to be shown the door in 2020. Stelling has confessed that Le Tissier was "hit hardest" by the announcement as the 56-year-old was considerably younger than his colleagues. Responding to the decision on social media, Le Tissier wrote: "Enjoyed my time at Sky Sports, time to look forward to life's next challenge." Having observed the fresh format since, in an interview with Le Tissier said: "Occasionally, if I'm in I'll watch it. There doesn't seem to be the same humour, the same level of camaraderie there than there used to be. "I think it's difficult because we had a team there that was together for a long time. Jeff Stelling's left now as well – that's a tough job for Simon Thomas, because Jeff was incredible at that job. For me the show was built around Jeff. We were there simply as the extras." Le Tissier sparked controversy with his anti-vaccination stance throughout the Covid-19 pandemic. He has also displayed fascination with conspiracy theories and has taken on the role of associate director at non-league Sholing. Charlie Nicholas Dubbed 'Champagne' throughout his playing career, former Scotland star Charlie Nicholas chose to remain silent when firings first broke out. A Sky Sports statement declared: "We are changing some parts of our football coverage Matt, Charlie and Phil have done a great job for us over the years, and they will leave us with our sincere thanks and very best wishes." Nevertheless, Nicholas launched a scathing attack on his previous employers in 2021. He slammed Sky Sports for failing to stand by his former colleague Andy Walker following his ban from Rangers and Celtic over on-air remarks. The Soccer Saturday threesome temporarily reunited for the 'Where's Jeff' podcast. Nicholas made an appearance in the BBC documentary Pitch Invasion this year, also starring in a Paddy Power advertisement featuring Scottish legends backing Spain before the Euro 2024 final. A roving reporter, Kamara's charisma and love for football, combined with some memorable on-air blunders, made him a vital component of Soccer Saturday. His 'Unbelievable Jeff' catchphrase only enhanced the programme's appeal. 'Kammy' departed Sky Sports following 24 years with the broadcaster at the conclusion of the 2021/22 campaign after receiving a speech apraxia diagnosis: "My time on Soccer AM, Goals on Sunday and, of course, on Soccer Saturday with Jeff has been – to coin a phrase – unbelievable. I've had the time of my life, and look forward to tuning in every Saturday as a fan." The 67-year-old featured on The Masked Singer and published his second autobiography, Kammy: My Incredible Life, in 2023. He opened up about his speech condition in 2023, which had prompted him to withdraw from most of his broadcasting duties. He told Good Morning Britain: "The [words] come out very slow so I thought that defined me. So, my apologies to everybody who's got a speech condition because it doesn't define who you are. I get upset talking about it because I was in denial, I was ashamed that I couldn't speak." Tony Cottee Tony Cottee was another of the names who departed Soccer Saturday at the end of the 2020/21 season, a year following the initial wave of alterations. The former West Ham and Everton forward has frequently featured on talkSPORT and continues working as a pundit. Nevertheless, he acknowledges it wasn't his decision to leave Soccer Saturday as he told the Undr the Cosh podcast: "I had 20 great years there and I look back and I don't like the way it ended. It was their choice more than my choice. I wanted to carry on being part of the show, obviously Soccer Saturday. "But I also look back and think I had 20 wonderful years. Some of the characters - Jeff Stelling's an amazing presenter. Then you think of like the Kammys and the McInallys [Alan McInally], and then the lads who were on the panel. Merse, Le Tiss, Charlie, Thommo. Just wonderful characters." Rodney Marsh An exit from Soccer Saturday that occurred well before the programme's shift in direction was Rodney Marsh. The ex-Manchester City forward was dismissed by Sky Sports in 2005 following a gag that made reference to the catastrophic Indian Ocean tsunami. Since his Sky departure, Marsh has featured on various television programmes, including I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here in 2007. The 80-year-old is currently employed by Sirius XM in a punditry role. Present Soccer Saturday line-up Thomas has presented the programme since Stelling departed in 2023, and the panel of experts, featuring Michael Dawson, Sue Smith, Tim Sherwood, Clinton Morrison and Kris Boyd, will continue unchanged for the upcoming season. Former Premier League ref Mike Dean also offer his analysis on Sky Sports regarding officiating and VAR rulings.

It had recently been announced that the pair would partner up for the US Open's revamped mixed doubles event. While Raducanu had also attended one of Alcaraz's matches at Queen's.

During Wimbledon, British star Cameron Norrie was bizarrely asked if he was dating Raducanu. Emma Raducanu 'asks for crying child to be EJECTED from stadium' in tense exchange with umpire and crowd agree The baffled looking ace, who is in a long-term relationship with Louise Jacobi, replied: "Sorry?" The reporter then responded: "I am trying to find out who is dating Emma Raducanu. "It seems to be going around all the men's singles... I was wondering if you're dating her, please?" A clearly uncomfortable Norrie then said: "I'm not, no. You can ask her. I don't know." Addressing that weird exchange, Raducanu laughed before saying: "That was terrible, terrible." 6 Cameron Norrie was understandably baffled by the question The British No1 is ranked No39 in the world and was narrowly beaten by Aryna Sabalenka in round two of Cincinnatti earlier this week. For the first time since her US Open triumph four years ago, Raducanu has managed to play a full calendar - crucially staying injury free. With Mark Petchey having TV commitments, Raducanu has begun working with Rafael Nadal's former coach Francisco Roig. On chatter surrounding the several coaches that she has worked with down the years, Raducanu said: "When you see things like: 'Oh, Emma on her ninth coach', I'm like: 'Guys, come on.' Certain ones don't count. "If you've had a trial, you don't have to carry on after the trial. A few have been trials, a few have been other situations. "I just try and take the high road. And try to do what the royal family would do.'

More woke madness as theatre-goers warned to expect ‘coercive' behaviour in Hamlet
Bosses at the National Theatre in London deemed it necessary to warn fans in case anyone paying up to £89 for tickets are triggered TOO PC OR NOT TO PC? TOO PC OR NOT TO PC? More woke madness as theatre-goers warned to expect 'coercive' behaviour in Hamlet Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THEATRE-goers have been warned to expect 'coercive' behaviour in Hamlet — a play more than 400 years old. Producers have also flagged up grief, suicide, mental illness and parental loss in Shakespeare's to-be-or-not-to-be epic.

Bosses at the National Theatre in London deemed it necessary to warn fans in case anyone paying up to £89 for tickets is triggered. They said of Shakespeare's longest play: 'This production contains themes of grief and death, including suicide and the loss of a parent, depictions of madness, violence, and coercive behaviour.' Online resource says of the body count: 'It is a well-known fact that Shakespeare's tragedies normally conclude in death, and Hamlet, written in 1600 to 1601, is no exception. "The last scene alone reveals the death of six different characters, and that is after the death of Hamlet's father, Polonius, and Ophelia in earlier scenes.' In June, London's Globe Theatre warned of guns and suicide in a Wild West version of Romeo and Juliet. The Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon also issued a warning about Macbeth in 2023. It included 'scenes of war, violence, and death including execution, suicide, violence against children, murder and domestic, emotional and physical abuse'. There were also 'special effects including flashing lights, strobe lights, loud noises, haze, fire effects, smoking and gunshots'.
