Nikki Garcia, formerly known as Nikki Bella in WWE, made a major return to the ring at the 2025 Royal Rumble.
Nikki Garcia made a bold return to the WWE ring under her iconic ring name, Nikki Bella, at the 2025 Royal Rumble, held at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. The 41-year-old former Total Bellas star made her entrance with undeniable confidence, strutting down the catwalk toward the ring with her hands up in the air as the crowd cheered her on. She even paused to dance before dramatically revealing her red two-piece wrestling outfit under a jacket-style top. The WWE announcers hailed her as one of the most courageous women on the planet, and the crowd couldn’t get enough of her long-awaited return after three years away from the ring.
This marks Garcia’s second major public appearance since finalizing her divorce from Artem Chigvintsev in late 2024, following a tumultuous period in her personal life. She had filed for divorce in September after Chigvintsev’s arrest, though no criminal charges were pressed. After taking time to focus on her son, Matteo, and her own healing process, Garcia reconnected with her audience through her podcast, The Nikki & Brie Show, where she opened up about the emotional journey of navigating the end of her marriage.
Despite the challenges she’s faced, Garcia made a powerful statement with her return to WWE, reminding fans of her strength, resilience, and star power in the ring. It’s clear that this moment was a significant one for her, personally and professionally, as she takes steps forward in both her career and personal healing.
