Nikki Bella teases WWE news on ‘Raw’ post-divorce event

Retired WWE superstar made a stunning appearance at WWE’s big “Raw” event on Monday night, and it wasn’t just her presence that grabbed everyone’s attention — it was her undeniable energy and dance moves.

Last month, Nikki Bella officially ended her marriage to Dancing with the Stars professional Artem Chigvintsev through private mediation.

Now that she’s set her sights on 2025, Nicky, who now goes by Nicky Garcia, seems focused on her well-being, personal growth and inspiring her loyal fan base.

The 41-year-old wrestling icon turned heads when she graced the red carpet in Los Angeles for the first-ever WWE Netflix show. In a sleek leather wardrobe, Nicki exuded confidence and poise, proving she’s still the force her fans love.

Although she did not enter the ring, Nikki still managed to attract attention. As the cameras flashed her onto the Intuit Dome jumbotron, the crowd erupted in cheers as she playfully showed off her dance moves. The moment was a testament to her enduring star power and the unwavering support she continues to receive from her fans.

When asked about her plans for the future, Bella teased: “Maybe I’m just looking at my competition.” While she has remained coy about specifics, the possibility of her returning to the squared circle has already created buzz in the WWE Universe.

It is interesting that the famous former Bella, John Cenaalso played a significant role in the evening entertainment. However, it remains unclear whether the two crossed paths during the event.

Nikki Bella’s confident and radiant appearance was a welcome sight after what has been an incredibly challenging few months. On August 29, her husband Artem Chigvintsev, who is not living now, was detained on suspicion of domestic violence in Napa County. However, as a result, the prosecutor decided not to open a criminal case.

A few weeks later, on September 11, Bella officially filed for divorce, requesting sole legal and physical custody of their 4-year-old son Mateo, with supervised visitation rights for Chigvintsev. In her statement, Bella also asked that spousal support be terminated for both parties.

In turn, Bella and Chigvintsev released a joint statement in November confirming that they had agreed to remove each other’s domestic violence restraining orders. The statement emphasized their mutual desire to move forward and effectively raise their son.

In his first public statement since the news broke, Nikki Bella has opened up about why she decided to drop out of the spotlight during such a turbulent period.

“I disconnected from social media, from the world, and I just knew I had to because I’m a mom first and my son’s protection and privacy is the most important thing. So I was going to do my best for that and then just need some healing space to face the trauma and all that,” Bella shared.

Reflecting on the emotional impact of the situation, she continued: “It was very difficult. My heart is broken. It’s sad. You know, you dream of this family, and you have this incredible love, and it just goes the other way.. And you go from a great love story to a terrible one, and I never saw it ending.”

Discussing the energy she invested in trying to fix others, she encouraged listeners to recognize this pattern early, before it became a problem.

“When you’re in a relationship that you’re fixing, you have to find a way out,” she said on her podcast. “Because trying to fix someone won’t bring love, happiness, or change. You’ll honestly wear yourself out eventually and just be bored. And it hit me really hard because I’m definitely in that space and this new era of mine in 2025 is not getting any better. I will lead. I will help. I will support. I will love, but I will not fix it.”

She later said, “God will come to them and help them get on that path.”
