Nikki Bella Teases Major WWE News At 'Raw' Event Following Artem Chigvintsev Divorce

Nikki Bella is stepping into a fresh chapter with confidence and charisma after finalizing her divorce from Artem Chigvintsev.

The retired WWE superstar made a striking appearance at WWE's big "Raw" event on Monday night, and it wasn't just her presence that caught everyone's attention — it was her undeniable energy and dance moves.

Last month, Nikki Bella officially ended her marriage to "Dancing with the Stars" pro Artem Chigvintsev through private mediation.

Now, as she sets her sights on 2025, Nikki — who now goes by Nikki Garcia — seems laser-focused on her well-being, personal growth, and inspiring her dedicated fanbase.

The 41-year-old wrestling icon turned heads as she graced the red carpet in Los Angeles for WWE's first-ever show on Netflix. Rocking a sleek leather ensemble, Nikki exuded confidence and poise, proving she's still every bit the powerhouse her fans adore.

Though she didn't step into the ring, Nikki still managed to steal the spotlight. When the cameras panned to her on the Intuit Dome's jumbotron, the crowd erupted in cheers as she playfully showed off her dance moves. The moment was a testament to her enduring star power and the unwavering support she continues to receive from her fans.

When asked about her future plans, Bella teased, "I just may be here looking at my competition." While she remained coy about specifics, the possibility of her return to the squared circle has already set the WWE Universe abuzz.

Interestingly, Bella's famous ex, John Cena, also played a significant role in the evening's festivities. However, it remains unclear whether the two crossed paths during the event.

Nikki Bella's confident and radiant appearance was a welcome sight after what has been an incredibly challenging few months. On August 29, her now-estranged husband, Artem Chigvintsev, was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence in Napa County. However, the District Attorney ultimately chose not to pursue criminal charges.

Just weeks later, on September 11, Bella officially filed for divorce, requesting sole legal and physical custody of their 4-year-old son, Matteo, with supervised visitation rights for Chigvintsev. In her filing, Bella also requested the termination of spousal support for both parties.

In a surprising turn, both Bella and Chigvintsev released a joint statement in November confirming that they had agreed to drop their domestic violence restraining orders against each other. The statement emphasized their mutual desire to move forward and co-parent their son effectively.

The former couple reached a settlement through mediation, signaling a step towards closure.

In her first public statement since the news broke, Nikki Bella opened up about why she chose to step away from the spotlight during such a tumultuous period.

"I disconnected from social media, from the world, and I just knew that I needed to disconnect because first things first, I'm a mom, and my son's protection and privacy is the most important. So I was gonna do whatever it took for that most importantly, and then just needing space for healing, for facing trauma head-on, all of that," Bella shared.

Reflecting on the emotional toll of the situation, she continued, "It's been really tough. I've been heartbroken. Sad. You know, you dream of having this family, and you have this incredible love, and it just goes the other way. And you go from having a great love story to having a terrible one. And I never saw any of it coming, you know, as far as, like, what the ending would be."

While discussing the energy she had poured into trying to fix others, she urged listeners to recognize this pattern early before it became a problem.

“If you're in that kind of relationship that you are fixing, you need to find your way out,” she said on her podcast. “Because trying to fix someone isn't going to bring love and happiness and change. You're honestly, in the end, gonna drain yourself and just bring sadness. And so that hit me really hard, because I definitely am now in that space, and this new era of me in 2025 is no longer fixing. I will lead. I will help. I will support. I will love, but I will not fix.”

She later said, “God will come to them and help them get on that path.”
