What if Nikki Bella beats Ronda Rousey at Evolution?

#3 Nikki Bella full-time

Nikki Bella may start working regularly again in WWE, at least for a while.

Nikki Bella mostly vanished from the WWE landscape after she and John Cena won their mixed tag team match at WrestleMania 33 and proceeded to get engaged in the ring. Her real-life relationship drama with Cena has taken centre stage in her reality TV appearances since. She only recently started appearing in the ring again in the build to Super Show-Down and then Evolution.

If Bella were to defeat Rousey—and particularly if that meant winning the Raw Women’s Championship, we could expect for her to be working a more full-time schedule for at least the next month or two while she has the title. Some fans might balk at it, seeing Bella as a step back from today’s stars, but she is capable in the ring, and arguably more natural in this heel role, which could mean entertaining TV for the women’s division, at least in the short term.
