Brie Bella could be closer than ever to stepping back inside a WWE ring, and her recent comments have surprised the wrestling community.

With Nikki Bella already deep into a successful comeback run, fans are now wondering if the Bella twins' reunion will happen soon.

According to The Takedown, Nikki Bella made her surprise return at the 2025 Royal Rumble, sending shockwaves into the WWE Universe and reinvigorating interest in the Hall of Fame–worthy star. She didn't officially become a full-time competitor until later in the year, but she picked up right where she left off.

While initially set for a singles match against Liv Morgan at Evolution 2025, things changed when Morgan picked up an injury. Nikki was instead booked for the 20-Woman Battle Royal, making for her first big match of the new run.

Since then, Nikki has been a regular on Monday Night Raw, usually appearing a few times every month. She also received her first title shot since 2018, as she challenged Becky Lynch for the Women's Intercontinental Championship in Clash in Paris.

While she didn't capture the gold, Nikki climbed the ranks through a storyline alliance with Women's World Champion Stephanie Vaquer, an alliance that recently imploded.

Brie Bella Eyes a Final WWE Return

Brie Bella last competed in the 2022 Royal Rumble, entering at No. 19 and turning in a noteworthy performance, picking up three eliminations before being tossed by eventual winner Ronda Rousey. Her sister, Nikki Bella, was also part of that match, which many thought would be the twins' final WWE outing for several years.

But things changed dramatically earlier this year.

During one of the recent episodes of The Nikki & Brie Show, Brie shared that coming back to the ring remains one of her biggest desires and one of her birthday wishes.

"I think there is definitely a last run in me. I'm at the age and I'm strong and I think it's cause I'm working out so hard and I'm feeling good, but I'm like there's for sure a last run in me...Wherever it may take me, wherever it may be, I hope it's with you, wherever that is at, who knows."

She added that she would be happy with a long-term run or even a special one-night-only return: anything that would let her connect once again with the WWE Universe.
