Nikki Bella returned on this past Monday's edition of WWE RAW to promote Evolution 2. The PLE will be taking place on July 13 in Atlanta, Georgia. Nikki Bella lost to Ronda Rousey via submission in the main event of the first Evolution event in 2018.

Liv Morgan confronted Nikki Bella on RAW and hit the former Divas Champion with an Oblivion. Brie Bella could make an appearance at Night of Champions and suggest that The Bella Twins reunite to challenge Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez for the Women's Tag Team Championship at Evolution 2 next month.

#2. The Hardy Boyz

Matt and Jeff Hardy were recently the reigning TNA Tag Team Champions and made some appearances on NXT during their title reign. The iconic duo had a disappointing stint in All Elite Wrestling but have found success once again in TNA.

The promotion could be planning on bringing The Hardy Boyz back to the main roster for one final run in the company. The legendary tag team may show up at Night of Champions to announce that they are back on the main roster and have their sights set on becoming champions.

#1. JBL

JBL recently defended Triple H's comments at the press conference following Money in the Bank regarding R-Truth, who is now known as Ron Killings on WWE television. The King of Kings seemingly suggested that Ron Killings' exit from the company could have been a work, and JBL praised him for keeping wrestling fans guessing.

The Hall of Famer could return at Night of Champions alongside Ron Killings to attack John Cena once again during his title defense against CM Punk. Killings and the 58-year-old would be a powerful duo in the company, and JBL could serve as the RAW star's manager moving forward.
