The Royal Rumble is only a hope for now
Summary
– Nikki Bella says WWE has not discussed Brie Bella’s return
– The sisters hope Brie could return at next year’s Royal Rumble
– Brie continues recovering from multiple scapula fractures
Nikki Bella has dismissed the latest fantasy booking surrounding Brie Bella’s potential WWE return.
The situation began after Pro Wrestling Headlines criticized rumored comeback ideas involving Brie, including another Bella Twins feud and a storyline with Blake Monroe. Nikki initially believed the post was directed at her and Brie before responding online.
The account later clarified that its criticism was aimed at the rumored creative direction, not the Bella Twins. It also emphasized that it remains excited to see Brie wrestle again.
Nikki then admitted she had misunderstood the post and offered an update on Brie’s WWE status. She said most of the creative stories circulating online are rumors and revealed that WWE has not held any discussions about Brie’s return.
According to Nikki, the Royal Rumble is the date everyone hopes Brie can target, but nothing has been confirmed. Brie is still recovering from multiple scapula fractures suffered at SummerSlam.
Doctors determined that Brie would not need surgery, but her recovery is expected to take between three and six months. She recently reached a major milestone by lifting her arm and bending it to roughly 90 degrees.
For now, Brie’s health remains the priority. Nikki’s comments make it clear that a Royal Rumble comeback is only a possibility, not an active WWE plan.
🥰💋🫶🏼🙏🏼 thank you for that! Means so much! Totally misread. Majority of the time, all the creative talk are rumors. Not even close to the truth. Also we have no idea when Brie will be back 🙂 There hasn’t been any discussions at all. We all are hoping Rumble! 🙏🏼🤞🏼🤷🏻♀️
