Nikki Bella addresses the WWE Universe in RAW return

WWE has confirmed what the future holds for Nikki Bella at Evolution 2.

A few weeks ago, Nikki Bella made her emphatic return to WWE. She suggested that she was ready for one more run, and at that point, it seemed as though she might enter a program with Liv Morgan. Unfortunately, an injury to Morgan scuppered those plans.

This has led many to wonder what the plan is for Bella going forward. Well, on tonight’s episode of WWE RAW, her status, particularly for WWE Evolution 2, was officially revealed. In a vignette, the 41-year-old confirmed that she would be entering the Battle Royal at the women-exclusive PLE.

Furthermore, she not only plans to enter, but she also plans to win and earn the opportunity to challenge for a world title at Clash in Paris.

Safe to say there will be plenty in the WWE Universe who will be rooting for Nikki Bella to be the last woman standing in the Battle Royal. It will be an exciting match, that’s for sure, but it will also be interesting to see if the Hall of Famer can deliver on her promise.

Nikki Bella is eager to step into the ring with Rhea Ripley

Should Nikki Bella win the Battle Royal, she will have her pick of World Champions, and come Clash in Paris, the world title landscape could be very different. On one hand, she could look to Tiffany Stratton, who is scheduled to face another Hall of Famer in Trish Stratus at Evolution 2, or she could look to Iyo Sky, who will face Rhea Ripley at the same event.

Speaking of Rhea Ripley, though, she is someone that Bella is particularly interested in. After all, she has mentioned before that she wants to face The Eradicator, and that she has been asking for a match for the past four to five years. Well, she might get what she wants very soon.

If the stars align, Bella could potentially face Ripley at Clash in Paris. That is assuming she wins the Battle Royal and Ripley defeats Iyo Sky at Evolution 2.
