Nikki Bella open to lengthy WWE run on one condition

Nikki Bella has opened up about her desire to have an extended run in WWE. The former Divas Champion returned to the promotion a few weeks ago ahead of the Evolution PLE.

The WWE Hall of Famer was confronted by Liv Morgan, who ended up attacking her. While a possible match between the two was put on hold due to an injury to Morgan, Nikki will still be part of the event.

This week on RAW, Nikki Bella revealed that she will be part of the Battle Royal at Evolution. She expressed a desire to win and earn a title shot at Clash in Paris. Appearing on Busted Open Radio, she mentioned that winning at the all-women's PLE could kickstart another lengthy run in the company.

“I’m so excited to be part of the battle royal. I want that big moment. To have such a big moment, I really, really wanna win because I think this is the perfect way to start a great comeback — a comeback that isn’t here for just a month or two, it’s here for a while,” she said.

The winner of the multi-woman match will have a title shot at Clash in Paris, although it isn't specified which championship can be challenged for. However, if Nikki does win this coming weekend, she'll certainly be around for a while longer, as the Paris PLE takes place on August 31.

Nikki Bella's last match in WWE

Fans last saw Nikki Bella compete in the ring when she appeared in this year's Women's Royal Rumble. She was the final entrant in the marquee match and eliminated Bayley before being tossed over the top rope by Nia Jax.

Before that, she competed in the 2022 Royal Rumble match, and with another Battle Royal in her sights at Evolution, we may see a longer spell for her in WWE.

Nikki Bella was also part of the inaugural Evolution PLE in 2018, where she lost to Ronda Rousey in a RAW Women's title match.

About the author

Sherjeel Malik is a writer at Sportskeeda and covers pro wrestling. He was hooked on the product from the moment he saw The Hardy Boyz jumping off ladders during the Attitude Era. While he comes from an engineering background, Sherjeel’s love for pro wrestling and content writing led him to pursue a career in sports journalism. Before assuming his current role at Sportskeeda, Sherjeel worked at other reputable organizations for five years.

While writing articles, he ensures that he only relies on credible sources for information and covers relevant subjects that do not project an agenda against a particular person or association. WWE legend Paul Heyman once shared Sherjeel’s work on his social media handle.

Sherjeel’s earliest memory of pro wrestling is watching Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Undertaker square off for the WWE Title in the main event of a pay-per-view in 1998. His favorite wrestlers are Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy. While he admires Orton for his character work as a heel, he looks up to Jeff because of his unique wrestling style and risk-taking ability.

If he could go back to the Attitude Era, Sherjeel would like to manage Ken Shamrock and be his mouthpiece. He feels Shamrock’s promo skills prevented him from becoming a main event-level act in WWE. Hence, he would like to help the UFC Hall of Famer get over with fans.

When not writing about pro wrestling, he likes to read classics and fiction books.
