Nikki Bella Hopeful of Returing to the Ring at Some Point This Month

WWE Superstar Nikki Bella is keeping her fingers crossed as she hopes for a return to in-ring duties at some point this month. Bella has been sidelined due to an ankle injury she suffered while competing in a tag team match against Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss on the March 27, 2026, episode of Friday Night SmackDown.

She was scheduled to team up with Brie Bella and participate in a Fatal Four-Way Match for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania 42 Night One. As it turned out, Nikki Bella was unable to compete at The Show of Shows. However, Paige stepped up for her and, along with Brie, captured the Women’s Tag Team Championship.

Nikki recently spoke to Casino Guru News, where she was asked about her return status. Though she admitted that she can’t give an exact return date, the WWE Hall of Famer is hopeful of making her way into the squared circle at some point this month.

“TBD. Until we get a look inside again through X-rays and MRIs, you just don’t know. I’m hoping in June at some point, and that’s why I’m working really hard on getting my strength back,” Nikki Bella said.

Nikki recently provided an update on her training and recovery process. You can check out her comments HERE.
