Nikki Bella made her return to WWE on the June 9th edition of RAW. This was her first appearance in the company since competing in the 2025 Women’s Royal Rumble PLE. On that night, the Fearless One showed that she had a lot of gas left in the tank. Bella went toe-to-toe with the new generation of WWE superstars and was able to hold her own.
On Monday, she was also involved in an altercation during her return to the company, and she seems primed for some upcoming matches in the ring. With that in mind, here are five matches we want to see her in following her WWE return.
5. Rhea Ripley
While Nikki Bella was away from the wrestling world, WWE saw the rise of one of the most dominant women in the modern era. That was none other than Rhea Ripley. The promotion’s resident Mami has proven herself to be a major draw for the company. Although she could be a tough opponent for Bella, a match between the duo would be a dream match for some.
4. Tiffany Stratton
Nikki Bella’s first appearance on WWE television programming after years saw her side by side with Tiffany Stratton. Only in her mid-20s, Tiffy Time has remained steady in the WWE, becoming a top attraction in just a few years. Moreover, to take her ongoing push to the next level, a feud with a Hall of Famer like Bella could do wonders for the rising career of The Center of the Universe.
3. Chelsea Green
Upon seeing the return of Nikki Bella this year, one superstar took a particular interest. It was the captivating and charismatic Chelsea Green. The Hot Mess has been vocal about Bella being a dream opponent for her. She even proposed a match between them for WrestleMania 41. With Nikki back in the fold, these two superstars colliding in a showdown at a major stage could be a must-see affair.
2. Liv Morgan
Liv Morgan angrily confronted Nikki Bella upon her return on RAW this week. She was furious that Bella did not mention her name while addressing the top stars of this era. This led to a heated exchange, with both superstars taking highly personal shots at each other. As the segment ended, Morgan dropped her to the mat with an Oblivion. This altercation might have set the tone for an upcoming feud at the all-women’s PLE coming up, WWE Evolution 2.
1. Tag Team Title Match
Another possible scenario following Nikki Bella’s interaction with Liv Morgan could include Nikki’s sister, Brie. As of now, Morgan and her partner, Raquel Rodriguez, are the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions. Morgan and Bella could meet once again, but this time, she would get double-teamed by Morgan and Rodriguez.
This could lead to Brie Bella making her return and siding with her sister. With the Bella Twins reunited, they could go after the tag team titles, something they have expressed to capture ever since the titles were introduced back in 2018.
