Bella Twins Confirm WWE Contract Timeline, Hint at Retirement Plans After Current Run

The Bella Twins are making the most of their latest WWE chapter—and they already know when the curtain will close.

Nikki and Brie Bella recently revealed that their current WWE deals are set to run through 2028, signaling what appears to be the final stretch of their in-ring careers. The Hall of Famers, who returned to action during Royal Rumble season, made it clear that once these contracts expire, they plan to step away for good.

Speaking candidly, Nikki Bella shared that this run comes with a defined endpoint. She noted that the two-year agreement they signed earlier this year will likely mark the end of the road for both her and Brie. While the twins would welcome a grand farewell similar to what legends like John Cena or AJ Styles have received, they’re not counting on WWE to roll out that kind of red carpet.

Instead, the focus is on making the most of the time they have left.

Nikki emphasized her desire to deliver some of the best performances of her career before calling it quits. For the Bellas, it’s not just about adding accolades—it’s about creating lasting memories and leaving without regrets. The goal is simple: make these final years count and walk away knowing they gave it everything.

Part of that mission includes finally capturing the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships, one of the few accomplishments that has eluded them. Their recent attempt on SmackDown nearly checked that box, as they challenged Nia Jax and Lash Legend for the titles in a high-stakes match.

However, things didn’t go as planned.

Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss inserted themselves into the situation, costing the Bellas a golden opportunity to claim the gold. The interference has now set the stage for a heated showdown, as Nikki and Brie look to settle the score against Flair and Bliss on next week’s episode of SmackDown.

With a clear end date looming and unfinished business still on the table, the Bella Twins are entering what could be the most meaningful run of their careers—one last chance to cement their legacy on their own terms.

Brie Bella Says The Bella Twins Are Waiting on WWE Storyline for TV Return

The Bella Twins haven’t disappeared from WWE television because they’re done wrestling — they’re simply waiting for the call.

During a recent appearance on Lala Kent’s podcast, Brie Bella addressed the duo’s current status with WWE and why fans haven’t seen them regularly since their Royal Rumble appearance earlier this year.

According to Brie, she originally expected that she and Nikki Bella would transition back into weekly programming after competing in the 2026 Women’s Royal Rumble. However, WWE reportedly told the sisters that they would be brought back when there was a storyline ready for them.

Brie admitted that the situation caught her off guard, noting that five weeks have already passed since then without a follow-up from WWE creative.

Despite the wait, Brie made it clear that both she and Nikki are eager to return to the ring. With WrestleMania 42 approaching, the sisters have their eyes on a potential opportunity — particularly with the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships scheduled to be defended at the event.

Brie said they’re motivated to show that they can still compete with the current generation of WWE talent if given the right storyline and platform.

The Bella Twins’ most recent joint appearance on WWE television came during the February 2 episode of Monday Night RAW. Since then, speculation about their return has continued to circulate among fans.

Fueling those rumors even more, Nikki Bella was recently spotted in Phoenix ahead of SmackDown, sparking discussion about a possible appearance. The sisters have also confirmed that they will be involved during WrestleMania 42 weekend in Las Vegas, though exactly what that involvement looks like remains to be seen.

For now, it appears the Bellas are simply waiting for WWE creative to find the right moment to bring them back into the spotlight.

Report: Brie Bella in Talks for WWE Return Following Nikki’s RAW Appearance

The Bella Twins might be gearing up for one more run in WWE — together.

According to a report from TMZ, Brie Bella is currently in discussions with WWE about a potential return to the ring, with early indications pointing toward an appearance at the upcoming Evolution event on July 13.

This news comes hot on the heels of Nikki Bella’s surprise appearance on Monday Night RAW earlier this week, where she was seen interacting with several members of the women’s roster backstage. Things took a turn when Nikki was attacked by Women’s Tag Team Champion Liv Morgan, sparking immediate speculation about a possible storyline brewing — and possibly setting the stage for Brie’s return.

While nothing has been confirmed by WWE or the Bellas themselves, the timing seems too perfect to ignore. With Evolution being promoted as a landmark night for women’s wrestling — potentially a sequel to the all-women’s pay-per-view first held in 2018 — bringing back one of the most iconic duos in WWE history could be a major draw.

The Bella Twins haven’t wrestled as a team since 2018, but both have remained involved in the industry through outside ventures, WWE appearances, and their reality series. Their return, particularly in the current landscape of WWE’s women’s division, could add a nostalgic jolt and elevate whichever feud they step into.

If Brie does return, it could mean The Bellas vs. Liv Morgan & a partner is on the horizon — and that’s a matchup sure to generate buzz.

Stay with Wrestling News Blog as we continue to track developments on Brie Bella’s WWE status and everything leading up to Evolution on July 13.

Nikki Bella Teases More WWE Appearances – And Possibly Brie’s Return?

Nikki Bella’s return to WWE at the 2025 Royal Rumble may have just been the beginning. During a recent episode of The Nikki & Brie Show, the former Divas Champion dropped some intriguing hints about her future in the company—and even suggested that her twin sister Brie Bella might not be far behind.

Addressing her comeback, Nikki played coy about whether this was a one-time appearance or the start of something bigger. “Is this a one-off or is she here to stay? Keep tuning in,” she teased. However, she didn’t leave fans completely in the dark, making it clear that she’ll be back in the ring sooner rather than later. “You will see another ‘Fearless’ Nikki appearance, sooner than later, that is for sure. I’m definitely doing more than what I just did on Saturday.”

The biggest tease, though, was Nikki’s mention of her sister. “Hopefully, Brie Mode will be by my side soon. More on that to come.”

Could we be seeing a Bella Twins reunion in WWE? While there’s no official confirmation yet, Nikki’s comments suggest that Brie may be gearing up for a return of her own. The duo last competed together in WWE at the 2022 Women’s Royal Rumble, but a full-fledged comeback would certainly shake up the women’s division.

For now, fans will have to wait and see what’s next—but it looks like Nikki Bella isn’t done just yet, and she might be bringing Brie along for the ride.

The Garcia Twins Issue Statement On Vince McMahon & John Laurinaitis Allegations

The Garcia Twins (The Bella Twins in WWE) took to Twitter today to issue a joint statement regarding the recent allegations made against Vince McMahon and John Laurinaitis.

On Friday, McMahon resigned from his positions at TKO Group after a lawsuit from a former WWE employee accused him of sex trafficking, sexual assault, and more. WWE and John Laurinaitis are also named as defendants in the lawsuit.

For those unaware, Nikki and Brie’s mother Kathy married John Laurinaitis in 2016.

You can check out the official statement below:

“We are shocked and disheartened with the recent allegations against members of the WWE. It has been a lot to process since we found out this past week just as you all did. This is something we don’t stand for or condone from anyone no matter who they are. We want all women to feel safe and supported in the workplace and in their everyday lives.”

The Garcia Twins – ‘We Want One Last Run’

On a recent edition of the “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast, WWE Hall of Famers The Garcia Twins (Nikki and Brie Garcia) stated that they’re hoping for an in-ring return for one last run in pro wrestling.

However, their return completely depends on Nikki getting cleared by her surgeon.

Brie said, “Especially because my husband’s at AEW, but I’m still surrounded a lot by wrestling because he and I, we talk about it all the time. He’s fully in it, and he just had an incredible match this Sunday at their big pay-per-view, All Out. I watch everything, and when I see the women wrestle and all that, I always am like, ‘Ah!’”

Nikki, who suffered a broken neck in 2015, said, “We want one last run. Especially when our sons are a little older and they could sit and watch their mommies kick ass and if my surgeon allows me to.”

Nikki & Brie Garcia Address Why They Have Decided To Leave WWE

Nikki and Brie will be using their last name Garcia moving forward after making the decision to leave WWE. 

They won’t be able to use The Bella Twins’ name because WWE owns the trademark rights to the Bella name. 

During their podcast, they discussed their decision to leave WWE:

Nikki: “When our contract came up with WWE, mutually, we all knew we needed to head into this next chapter. We are so grateful for the past 17 years. I have learned so much in and out of the ring. I have traveled all over the world, I have incredible fandom. It’s been amazing. This is part of relationships. Whether it’s business, love, this is relationships in life. Sometimes, you come to this part of your life where it’s like, ‘let’s go separate ways. It doesn’t mean it’s forever, but we just know that it’s right.’”

Brie: “It doesn’t mean that it’s bad either. When things like this happen, everyone wants to look for the negative. ‘What happened? It had to be something crazy.’ It wasn’t. It was actually something beautiful. [We] thought about it for awhile. This has been years coming. I want to thank Brie Bella. The character, the name, pretty much that I’ve been the last 16-17 years. Thank you to that name because it caused a lot of change in my life and many lives. It did a lot of great things for me. It’s really fun to end that chapter. For everyone, at some point in your life, to do a new change, a new journey. I’m so excited to close that chapter on Brie Bella, put that book to the side, and open up a new one, and see what Brie Garcia is going to do next.”

Nikki: “I’m so beyond grateful for Nikki Bella. She empowered me, she inspired me, she truly made me become fearless. I found so much of what I had, through pain, childhood, or certain things that happened in my life, I lost that person. It took Nikki Bella to bring her out. I will always be forever grateful for her and look up to who that person was and still is and the road that she has paved and what she’s done for women and the youth and will continue to do, just as Nikki Garcia. I’m grateful for it. What’s so amazing about starting this new chapter and with our names, our roots, what was from birth. it’s super empowering because we’re betting on ourselves. That leap of faith, we are taking that leap of faith, we’re re-introducing ourselves after 17 years and it shows…you and I have gotten to the point where we know our worth. We know what we’ve done and we know where we want to go. We’re at the point in our lives where we don’t want to hear no. We’ve worked on that for 17 years and this marks, finally, we put that in action a lot, but now we’re doing it in a different way. Something like that is super exciting and it’s great for other people to know.”

Brie: “It’s weird because I say ‘freeing,’ and a lot of people are like, ‘What does she mean?’ There’s something really freeing about going back to who you were. It’s like you can go back to being your unfiltered, uncensored self. I don’t have to apologize, it’s who I am. I always hate when I have to apologize or be like, ‘sorry, didn’t mean to do that,’ when I actually did.” 

The Bella Twins Express Disdain For WWE Not Referencing Women’s Revolution On RAW Is XXX

The Bella Twins were originally scheduled for an appearance on RAW Is XXX, but the Hall of Famers didn’t show up at the venue. In fact, Nikki and Brie Bella seem to have an issue with how WWE didn’t acknowledge the Women’s Revolution during the 3-hour special.

Pwinsider reports that Nikki and Brie Bella flew out to the northeastern US this weekend. However, instead of appearing on RAW Is XXX, the twin sisters attended a Broadway show instead.

The Bella Twins went live on Instagram to express their disdain for WWE not addressing the Women’s Revolution on the 30th anniversary of Monday Night RAW. They also noted how WWE refrained from mentioning Mercedes Mone or Saraya among those (including them) responsible for the Women’s Revolution. The Bellas were briefly mentioned in Charlotte Flair’s promo on RAW Is XXX.

“I guess I have been talking about this run as if I am cleared, which I am not cleared to wrestle.”
