In a world where wrestling promotions battle it out like high school cliques fighting for the cafeteria’s best table, AEW just pulled up a chair for potential royal guest, Nikki Garcia, better known as WWE’s glittering star, Nikki Bella. While Nikki ultimately decided to keep her wrestling boots off the AEW mat—for now—AEW’s head honcho Tony Khan couldn’t help but leave the lights on for her.
During a recent chinwag on the “Battleground Podcast,” Tony Khan, the wrestling world’s equivalent of the cool, rich uncle, spilled the tea on Nikki’s near-miss with AEW. Amidst a glittery roster expansion that’s seen stars like Kazuchika Okada, Will Ospreay, and Mercedes Mone making waves, Nikki’s revelation that she almost dialed up Tony for a one-year wrestling romp had fans twitching their thumbs in excitement.
Khan, dripping with the charm of a seasoned promoter, welcomed the idea with open arms. “If Nikki Garcia ever wanted to come into AEW, I would be very interested in that,” he proclaimed, adding a dash of familial warmth to his professional pitch. According to Khan, Nikki and her sister Brie are practically kin, thanks to their connection with AEW’s beloved Bryan Danielson, making this potential signing feel like a family reunion.
Tony’s affectionate commentary didn’t stop there. He gushed, “I have so much respect for Nicole and Brie. They’re like family to us. That makes Brie and Nicole part of the family.” With the grace of a seasoned politician, Khan kept the door not just unlocked but wide open, ready for the Bella twins to strut through anytime they fancy.
While Nikki might be keeping her in-ring antics on the down-low for now, the buzz she’s stirred up is anything but quiet. AEW fans, keep your eyes peeled and your hashtags ready—this wrestling saga might just have more twists left!
Stay tuned, folks—because in the world of wrestling, never say never!
