Several WWE Hall of Fame inductees believe that AEW is currently acting as an obstacle to their potential return to WWE. Notably, Nikki Bella made her WWE TV comeback in June, leading up to the WWE Evolution event. She was scheduled for a match against Liv Morgan following a Raw segment, but Morgan’s injuries led to changes in those plans. Nikki’s return has sparked speculation that her sister Brie Bella might soon follow, potentially reuniting the Bella twins on WWE television, although this has not happened yet.
Brie Bella addressed the situation, revealing that she hasn’t been contacted to come back to WWE. She mentioned that while there seems to be some sort of barrier, it’s also a positive sign in some ways. Brie explained that a major hurdle is the fact that her husband is signed with a rival promotion, which makes some people in WWE uncomfortable. She questioned why her husband’s affiliation should affect her ability to work for WWE, emphasizing that she sees it as perfectly fine.
Tonight, Nikki Bella will be active on WWE’s Raw, teaming up with Rhea Ripley, Iyo Sky, and Stephanie Vaquer against Naomi and The Secret Service.
