After three years outside the squared circle, Nikki Bella is reportedly gearing up for another run with the WWE as the most important time of the year for the company gets underway.
Bella, one half of the famed Bella Twins tag team along with identical sister Brie, has worked for the WWE in spurts for well over a decade.
Nikki Bella’s current negotiations with the company began after her recent appearance at WWE RAW in Los Angeles on January 6, one of her first major public events since her divorce last year from ballroom dancer Artem Chigvintsev.
Now, Bella, 41, could be in line for a starring role in the professional wrestling company with WrestleMania 41 less than three months away, per TMZ.
Sources close to DailyMail.com say if she doesn’t appear at the Royal Rumble on February 1, an agreement is far away.
One thing she is trying to negotiate is to own the Nikki Bella name since it provides so much more cache for other career opportunities. But the likelihood of her signing with the WWE again is very close to 100%.

Bella, whose real name is Nikki Garcia, is currently a competitor on reality television show ‘The Traitors’ that is airing on Peacock.
Before her current negotiations with the WWE, Bella had been rumored to be in contact with rival All Elite Wrestling.
AEW has a women’s roster with Mercedes Mone and Saraya, who were known as Sasha Banks and Paige in the WWE. Both were rivals of the Bella Twins.
Having Bella back into the fold would bring more star power to the WWE women’s division as RAW is now broadcast on Netflix weekly.
Bella has yet to have matches with many of the wrestlers on the WWE roster.
Brie Bella, wife of AEW’s Bryan Danielson, who wrestled in the WWE under the moniker of Daniel Bryan, is not believed to be making an in-ring comeback herself.
