WWE is preparing to make Royal Rumble a grand spectacle leading up to WrestleMania 41. With major preparations underway, WWE is ensuring fans stay on the edge of their seats with surprises. Recently, reports have revealed that one of the planned surprises for the event is Nikki Bella, who has been spotted in Indianapolis ahead of the Royal Rumble.

According to Fightful, the former Divas Champion was spotted in Indianapolis just hours before the Royal Rumble. While the report doesn’t confirm whether WWE plans for Bella to return at the event, it is highly likely that the Hall of Famer will make an appearance in some capacity, even if she’s not competing in the ring.

Earlier reports indicated that Bella and WWE were in talks about a potential return to the ring. It was also revealed that Bella has begun preparing and training for an in-ring comeback, showing her strong desire to compete again. If this happens, the Royal Rumble could be the perfect stage for the 41-year-old to make her return.

The former champion’s last WWE match took place at the Royal Rumble 2022, where she competed in the Women’s Rumble Match. If she returns tonight, her comeback would add a legendary presence to the already stacked field of superstars. This includes top names like Charlotte Flair, Bianca Belair, and the rumored Becky Lynch. Her return would certainly heighten the excitement for the match.

Will Nikki Bella make a full-time return to WWE after Royal Rumble?

Nikki Bella made a brief appearance during Raw’s Netflix debut last month in Los Angeles. Though her appearance lasted only a few seconds, it sparked widespread excitement and made her the talk of the event. Since then, fans have been eagerly clamoring to see the 41-year-old star return to the WWE ring as a full-time competitor.

There is a strong possibility that Bella could return to the ring as a full-time superstar. In the past, several stars, including Edge, Trish Stratus, and John Cena, have made successful full-time comebacks. Given her status and revitalized popularity, she could kick off her new run at the Royal Rumble, leading to an electrifying road to WrestleMania.

The former Divas Champion could also find herself involved in a stellar feud on the road to WrestleMania, especially with WWE introducing midcard titles. Bella could pursue these titles, adding excitement to her return. The Hall of Famer has never had a singles match at WrestleMania, which could drive her potential comeback.
