Nikki Bella says she considered reaching out to AEW for in-ring return after watching Mercedes Mone debut

[Chris]

Nikki Bella says she recently considered a return to wrestling.

On the latest episode of The Nikki & Brie Show, Nikki mentioned how the twins will get into a "wrestling mindset" when lifting weights and sometimes think about returning to the ring.

Nikki said:

Since you and I have been lifting so much, we always say, we start to get that wrestling mindset. Like, 'We're going to go back and do this story, and cut this promo..' You get it but like how serious I got where I was like, 'Okay, I think I can do maybe a year at AEW and I could do it every week.'

Nikki continued to say that watching Mercedes Mone debut in AEW had her deliberating about reaching out to Tony Khan.

When I saw Mercedes debut and cut her promo and that line stuck with me, 'Here we can make our evolution worldwide.'
It goes into many leagues, is what she means. It doesn't have to be at one place, it could be at all the places where all these women are wrestling at.

However, Nikki concluded that she was not willing to take time away from her young son, Matteo.

Nikki continued:

Wasn't I talking to you? I go,"Brie, so I think I can do it for a year. I can do it from here to here, I can go every week, I can be good and then I thought of Matteo. I had a good week of like this is it, I'm going to call Tony Khan, I'm your girl, I can commit, and then I was like I can't do that to my son right now, like, he needs me.

Brie added:

When you told me you were thinking that, I was like please don't ask me to be your tag partner because my husband is gone all the time, I am the one who is home with the kids. My thing is that how much I would love to do it, when I have to think of reality, the schedule does not work with my life right now.

The former Bella Twins officially left WWE in March 2023, and now go by Nikki Garcia and Brie Garcia. Neither has wrestled since the 2022 Women's Royal Rumble match.

Oh please no...

 

[Jimmy King]

Nikki was great in ring, she would be a fun addition to the AEW women’s division.

 

[Cwalker]

Nikki could work her ass off so if she wants to do it, I’m all for it

 

[The Gipper]

I’m always in favour of watching wrestling Twitter burn and this might just do it.

 

[Deezy]

Her and Mandy Rose would save that division.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Tony Khan has said that AEW "would love to have" Nikki Garcia (formerly Nikki Bella) join the company.

"I have so much respect for Nicole and Bri. They’re like family to us because Bryan is like a part of my family, and that means Bri and Nicole part of the family. So I have so much respect for both of them, and if Nikki was interested in coming to AEW, we would love to have her here any time. That was so great to hear."

I think it could be fun if they were used as part of Danielson part time retirement angle down the line. I think Nikki was pretty dece in the ring. I don't need to see the other one wrestle tho

Hopefully Nikki's neck can handle their green workers.

Other than that, got my attention.......now back up the Brinks truck for Mandy @TonyKhan.
