A WWE legend is officially set to make an in-ring return after a little over five months, and it was confirmed on RAW that she will participate in the upcoming Evolution 2025 event.
That legend is none other than Nikki Bella, who previously appeared to be on a collision course with Liv Morgan. While it would have likely been a Bella Twins reunion against Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez, Morgan’s injury forced all plans to change at the last minute.
Nikki Bella, the WWE legend and Hall of Famer, revealed in a vignette on RAW that she would be returning to action for the first time since the 2025 Royal Rumble, which took place on February 1. At Evolution, she will compete in the Battle Royal to determine the Women’s World Title challenger at Clash in Paris.

This seems to be a logical next step as the initial plans fell through. It’s unclear whether she will be the winner, as she faces stiff competition from stars like Stephanie Vaquer, Natalya, and Ivy Nile, among others.
If she wins, it will be a huge moment, as she will be right back in the women’s title picture.
According to Bryan Alvarez and Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer, Nikki Bella would be involved in a segment with Liv Morgan, which ended up being canceled at the last minute. #WWERaw pic.twitter.com/5DreWh6zI4

As you likely know, Nikki Bella headlined the first edition of Evolution in 2018, where she challenged Ronda Rousey for the RAW Women’s Championship.
