Nikki Bella made her WWE return at Summerslam. Nikki has been out for the past several months with a serious neck injury. She joined the team of Alexa Bliss and Natalya to take on Naomi, Becky Lynch and Carmella. Her return was a surprise as she was a last-minute replacement for Eva Marie who was recently suspended 30 days for violating the WWE’s wellness policy.
Nikki commented on her WWE return:
I’m bacckkk!! What a journey my past 10 months have been! Words can’t even describe how I feel being back in that ring! FEARLESS FOREVER! N

Nikki also confirmed that she would be joining the Smackdown LIVE roster (in the video above). It was pretty obvious since she competed in a Smackdown LIVE match but just for confirmation. I am personally excited for this as the Women’s roster was in need of some star power!
Happy to see her back! Anytime someone comes back from a serious injury, I find myself rooting for them!
