Nikki Bella has revealed the WWE match she has been demanding for the last few years.
Earlier this year at the Royal Rumble 2025, Hall of Famer Nikki Bella made her long-awaited return. However, while Nikki Bella revealed her list of dream matches following her Royal Rumble return, she soon went missing.
Now, after an absence of nearly four months, she finally returned on the 9th June episode of Raw, and became involved in a feud against Liv Morgan. While the duo will likely clash at Evolution 2, rumors suggest Brie Bella, Bella’s twin sister, will also participate.
Recently, after her return, Nikki Bella appeared for an interview with Sports Illustrated, and opened up on the chances of facing Rhea Ripley. While the duo have never faced each other, Bella revealed that she had been demanding the bout for the last “four to five years”.
“Well, I think one for the future, when Liv came out like a fireball last night, I was like, ‘Oh shit. Okay.’ We’ve only got to see each other a little bit before Evolution, so I’m excited for that.
“I think one day it would be incredible to work Rhea Ripley, and I’ve been saying this for the past four or five years. I would really love to do something with her, but I don’t want to be a good girl when I do it.”

In the same interview, Nikki Bella also challenged Taylor Swift to a match.
Nikki Bella Turned Down This Special WWE Privilege Following Her Return
In a recent interview with Toronto Sun, WWE veteran Natalya shared the special privilege Nikki Bella turned down following her return.
“So yesterday, in the locker room, they wanted to get Nikki her own locker room. They were like, we’re going to get Nikki Bella her own room, she’s going to have her own space, we’ll put a fruit tray in there and all this stuff that she wanted. She goes, ‘No. I don’t want to change in my own locker room.’
This is what I love about Nikki, she goes, ‘I want to change with the rest of the girls.’ She’s like, ‘I want to be in the locker room with the rest of the girls because that’s the most special place to be. It’s about being with the girls.’ I love that. So she was in the locker room with us, it’s a very sacred place.”
“It was so fun because she was in the locker room. The girls just loved seeing her. It was just like she was right back in the groove, like she hadn’t missed a beat. So, that’s the thing that people don’t see behind the scenes of what we do, it’s a sisterhood.
We don’t all have to love each other, we don’t all have to get along 24/7, but at the end of the day, we’re a group of women that really love and respect each other and Nikki understood that. She didn’t want her own room, she wanted to be with us. I love that and I made sure that she looked perfect before she went out.”
