Due an injury she’s still sidelined with, Nikki Bella missed out on the dream opportunity of winning the WWE Women’s Tag Team titles with her twin sister Brie at WrestleMania 42 a couple weeks back. But Nikki stays busy — with or with pro wrestling.
So while Brie and the Nikki-replacement she recruited for ‘Mania, Paige, defend the tag belts, the two-time WWE Divas champ will be rehabbing her ankle and doing other projects. For instance, today (April 27) Nikki hosted a solo edition of Sirius XM’s
The Nikki and Brie Show.
On the special episode without her fellow Bella Twin, Nikki answered fan questions. One of those was about when we should expect her back from the injury she suffered on SmackDown in late March. Her answer was…
“Hopefully I will get to see you all in June. They just announced Night of Champions is gonna be happening in June as of now, so fingers crossed that still goes, but obviously, I would love to see you all there.”
Night of Champions is specifically June 27. We’ll see if Nikki’s cleared to don a full body suit and wrestle in Riyadh that day.
A question about what she still wants to accomplish in WWE before she exits the stage led the Fearless One to share a recent realization about one role she’s never played in pro wrestling/sports entertainment:
“I would love one day before I, you know, call it goodbye for good, I would love to be a Women’s World Champion.
“Also what I would love to be and what I love about this one is I can do this not being in the ring, but there was a lot of talk about it today on X about when should they change up the general managers and I would love to be a general manager at Raw at one point.
“So Liv’s championship, Women’s World Championship and then after in-ring stuff, I would love at some point to be a general manager for Raw and I don’t know, I haven’t figured that part out, but when I’ve seen all that talk today and someone put me as the GM for Raw, I was like, ‘I like that.’”
Let us know if you think we’ll see Nikki Bella wrestle in Saudi Arabia in a couple months, and what you’d think of GM NB, in the comments.
