Nikki Bella just gave Indianapolis a huge surprise … officially making her return to WWE at the “Royal Rumble.”
One half of the Bella Twins made her appearance minutes ago … entering the women’s match at the number 30 spot — with the crowd going nuts when her theme song hit the loudspeakers.

Bella was decked in an all-red two-piece outfit and ball cap … with her signature “Fearless” logo etched across her chest.
She proved there’s no ring rust … as she even did some push-ups amid all the action. Nikki’s fun didn’t last too long, though — she was the 27th wrestler eliminated after Nia Jax forced her out of the squared circle.

Charlotte Flair ended up winning it all … punching her ticket to WrestleMania in Las Vegas.
Last week, we reported the 41-year-old and WWE started talking about a potential return following her appearance at “Monday Night Raw” a few weeks ago in L.A., which had everyone in attendance — as well as social media — in a frenzy.

The match marked her first appearance in the ring since 2022, which also came at the Royal Rumble.
Whether this was a one-off thing or not remains to be seen … but regardless, fans were hyped to see her back in action following a whirlwind 2024 — in which she got divorced from her husband following an alleged domestic dispute.
