It’s been a year of big returns for WWE as names like AJ Lee, Brock Lesnar, The Rock and more have all made appearances on WWE programming. Back in January, Nikki Bella shocked the world when she returned to the ring at the Royal Rumble.
In recent months Nikki has been making appearances on WWE programming and she’s been working as a babyface. However, the Hall of Famer recently indicated during an episode of the Nikki & Brie Show that she would love to turn heel.
“In the beginning, I wanted to keep Fearless Nikki as Fearless Nikki because, to me, my comeback was more about nostalgia and ‘here is this Hall of Famer and legend, let’s keep her as is.’ That was my mindset. I’m a marketing machine, so I wanted to keep what was marketable and what people recognized me as. Now, being in it, I’m actually wanting to kind of change her a little bit. I think it would be a lot of fun. I do work with creative, every week, hands-on. I love being hands-on. Everyone there is hands-on. It’s actually very different than before. Even when we do promos, we used to get handed something, and it’s way different now. It’s really cool. You just sit and talk about it. They give you the basis of the idea, but everything is different the day of. It was never like this before and it’s really cool.”
“I’m really excited to maybe push Fearless Nikki in a different direction. Deep down, I would love to go back heel, but it’s so much fun to have the challenge of being a babyface in this era that is a very different era. That’s been something. I’m excited to see what’s to come with it.”
