I know I’ll take any opportunity to use the word ‘Bellabrate,’ but guys, the time for a REAL Bellabration is at hand. After being sidelined by injury, former WWE Divas Champion Nikki Bella is teasing her return to the ring.
On Monday, Nikki tweeted this:

Early Tuesday morning, Nikki followed up with this picture of the WWE Performance Center:

I don’t know about you, but there’s something about the idea of Nikki throwing hands with developmental beefcake Oney Lorcan that tickles me in all of the funniest places.
Though she may have been in the thick of the Divas’ Revolution, Nikki Bella is returning to a much-changed WWE landscape. The Divas Title is no more, and the WWE Draft is done, leaving which brand she’ll return to as a big giant question mark. The injury that took her out of commission is forcing her to retire her Rack Attack finisher, though luckily she’s got a brother-in-law that’s kinda great at wrestling helping her out with a new one.
Nikki was sidelined with a neck injury in November 2015, and was forced to undergo surgery the following January. Though she’s been kept busy with rehab, and an upcoming season of the Bella Twins’ own Total Divas spinoff, Nikki’s been shooting for a summer return since April.
