WWE

A former champion has been privately training with a current WWE star amid teases of a WrestleMania 41 appearance.

With more seemingly down the line in WWE for Nikki Bella following her Royal Rumble return, Natalya has now revealed that Nikki has been flying out to train with her.

During Insight Live in Toronto which was recorded in March, Natalya opened up about her involvement in Nikki Bella’s in-ring return.

Natalya would reveal that Nikki Bella approached her privately, coming to the Dungeon training facility on a regular basis, saying:

“Nikki actually has been coming and training with me privately. So she flies in every week, and she’s been coming and working with me.

“I will tell you that she hasn’t lost it, she has so much passion for this. It’s funny because I saw her last week. She came to Tampa and I said to her, This is so funny because we started our careers together in the very same week, Nikki and I and Brie.

So we started together in the same week in developmental in WWE, and I remember when all three of us had nothing. All three of us were hired at the very base amount of pay and it was never, ever about the money. It was always about the work, the passion. So we were just laughing and sharing old stories.”

Nikki Bella recently hinted that she will be in action at the Evolution 2025 PLE, which hasn’t been announced at the time of writing.

Both Nikki and Brie Bella have also teased returns at WrestleMania 41, with Brie noting that they always have their gear packed, and Nikki hinting that they could be in Las Vegas this week for more than just to promote their wine business.
