Nikki Bella Triumphs in Her First WWE Match in Nearly Seven Years

Nikki Bella made a stunning comeback to the wrestling ring during an episode of WWE Raw, marking her first match in nearly seven years. Bella faced off against Chelsea Green in a high-stakes encounter that showcased her impressive skills and resilience. Despite interference from rivals Alba Fyre and Piper Niven, Bella delivered her signature move, the Rack Attack 2.0, securing a hard-fought victory.
However, the celebration was short-lived. After the match concluded, Bella found herself ambushed by Green and her cohorts, Fyre and Niven, who attempted to spoil her triumphant return. Just when it seemed like Bella might be overwhelmed, the sound of Stephanie Vaquer’s entrance music echoed through the arena. Vaquer rushed down the ramp, entering the ring to save Bella from the hostile trio. She successfully cleared the ring, allowing Bella to bask in the glory of her victory as the crowd erupted in cheer.
Before the match, a backstage segment showcased Chelsea Green voicing her frustrations to Stephanie Vaquer. Green argued that she deserved the opportunity to compete at Clash in Paris, highlighting the competitive nature of WWE and the stakes involved. Earlier in the week, Vaquer and Bella had teamed up to eliminate Green from the battle royal, which Vaquer ultimately won, earning her spot in the upcoming event.
Nikki Bella's last singles match on broadcast television took place during the inaugural Evolution event in 2018, where she challenged Ronda Rousey for the Raw Women's Championship. Prior to that, she had participated in a tag team match on WWE Raw alongside her sister, Brie Bella, and Rousey, facing off against Liv Morgan, Sarah Logan, and Ruby Riott, now known as AEW's Ruby Soho. Since then, Bella has made a few notable appearances, including in the 2022 and 2025 Royal Rumble matches, and recently in the battle royal, where she finished strong, making it to the final four before being eliminated by Lash Legend, who would go on to secure the runner-up position.
