Nikki and Brie Bella of the Bella Twins have commented on their WWE return, ahead of their upcoming championship match.

Following reports that the Bella Twins would be returning “very soon“, the Hall of Famers made a surprise appearance on the March 13 SmackDown episode.

Nikki and Brie informed the crowd that they were next in line for the Women’s Tag Team Championship, and remained at ringside to watch the title match between the Irresistable Forces and Charlotte Flair & Alexa Bliss.

The official Nikki & Brie Twitter account has commented on this return, stating that the duo are “officially back”, following an absence after returning to the ring at Royal Rumble.

Responding to a Twitter user pointing out that their names were trending, the Bella Twins wrote:

All you BELLA ARMY!!! So excited to be officially back and so ready for next week!! 💋👯‍♀️🔥

The Bella Twins WWE return plans

The Bella Twins were reunited in January’s Royal Rumble match, with Brie Bella returning to the ring for the first time since 2022.

Friday’s SmackDown appearance marked the duo’s first WWE appearances since the duo’s segment together on the February 2 SmackDown episode.

The duo will receive their first ever shot at the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship on the March 20 SmackDown episode, following Nia Jax & Lash Legend retaining their gold on Friday’s show.

Jax and Legend won the gold from Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY on the February 27 edition of SmackDown.

With The Bella Twins previously confirming that they’ll be at WrestleMania 42, we could see Twin Magic win the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship ahead of the Show of Shows.
