Nikki Bella hasn’t appeared on WWE programming since WrestleMania 33. John Cena proposed to Nikki only a few minutes after the couple beat The Miz and Maryse on the grandest stage of them all. Since then, the former WWE Divas Champion has kept busy with outside projects while also recovering from some nagging neck issues. However, Anaheim received a surprise when Nikki Bella returned to Raw last night.
The WWE Universe was surprised for a couple of reasons. As it relates to WWE, she’s still an exclusive star to SmackDown Live. However, Nikki didn’t actually appear on Raw last night. During a commercial break, Nikki Bella filmed a segment with her dancing partner, Artem Chigvintsev, for Dancing With the Stars. The segment will showcase her ties to WWE. It also gave her involvement with the show some free promotion.
