SPOILER: Nikki Bella confirmed in attendance for WWE RAW tonight (October 20, 2025)

Nikki Bella has been off WWE TV for a while.

WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella is reportedly set to be in attendance for tonight’s episode of Monday Night RAW in Sacramento, California.

This was first reported by Cory Hays of Bodyslam.net, who notes that while it’s not confirmed whether Bella will appear on camera, her presence backstage is confirmed. Bella has already sparked major speculation about what WWE could have planned for her next.

Bella last appeared on WWE Raw on September 8, where she faced Asuka in a competitive singles bout that received praise from fans for showcasing some of her best in-ring work since her Royal Rumble return earlier this year.

Despite taking the loss, Nikki looked sharp, reminding the WWE Universe that she can still hang with the best. Before that, she also wrestled Becky Lynch at Clash in Paris in a strong showing that ended in defeat but boosted fan interest in her current run.

Nikki Bella’s WWE future remains in question

With Nikki’s return run still generating buzz, many fans have wondered why she’s been off television for the past several weeks. Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select addressed this in a recent Q&A, clarifying that Bella’s comeback is far from over.

“The last I’d heard she would be around here and there,” Sapp said. “I don’t think there were any real plans for her in Australia, so there wasn’t a great need to have her around for the build to that. They expect Nikki to be on the show for a while from everything I’ve heard.”

This update suggests that Nikki’s absence was more strategic than abrupt. WWE may have chosen to keep her off the road during the company’s international tour to reintroduce her in a more impactful way on home soil and Sacramento could be the perfect stage.

Before her short hiatus, Nikki was involved in multiple backstage segments alongside Rhea Ripley, IYO SKY, and The Kabuki Warriors, hinting at potential tension or alliances brewing within the women’s division.

With the women’s roster currently stacked and championship scenes heating up, her return could easily lead to a feud with Ripley or even a team-up with another veteran like Trish Stratus, who herself is expected back on WWE programming soon after dealing with personal loss.

Whether or not Nikki Bella appears on camera tonight, her confirmed attendance is a sign that WWE has plans in motion. For the Bella Army, that’s more than enough reason to tune in.
