In June, 2019, Nikki Bella announced her retirement after a cyst was found in her brain. Her last match came against Ronda Rousey for Raw Women’s Championship at WWE Evolution, in which she lost to Rousey.
Last year, Nikki Bella was scheduled to be inducted into 2020 Hall of Fame along with her twin sister Brie Bella as The Bella Twins but that ceremony was cancelled due to pandemic outbreak. Recently, WWE announced that 2020 Hall of Fame class will be inducted along with this year’s class.
On the recent edition of The Bellas Podcast, Nikki Bella stated that she wants to have one last run along with her sister Brie and wants to go after tag team titles. Here what Nikki Bella said:
“I really want to do a WWE return with Brie and go after the tag titles. That’s one thing I really want to do before I hang up the Nikes for good. I want to do one last run. The desire and passion I used to have, all put into that run. When I went back and had the run with Ronda [Rousey], it was a difficult time with the break up and being back there so quick.” (H/T: Fightful)
Nikki Bella also provided an update about her health. Currently, she wasn’t cleared to wrestle but she’s getting ready to be back into the squared circle.
“I guess I have been talking about this run as if I’m cleared, which I’m not cleared to wrestle. I saw a doctor last week who is starting to help me with neck strengthening exercises. I’m working on doing everything I can to increase bone growth with bone fusion and helping herniation. Since I haven’t done any hardcore impact since my match with Ronda, hopefully the herniation that happened above my bone fusion has gotten better.”
“I hope that somehow, all these things that I’m doing, if I want to do this run, I have to get MRIs and scans and they have to discuss things. They will see this incredible growth and say, ‘You’re strong, here are your limits, but this is what you can do.’ I need to start that a year out. We’ll see what a year does, how good the bone grows, how strong my neck can get. Say prayers for me.” (H/T: Fightful)
