Retirement in the wrestling world is about as permanent as a reality show feud—always ripe for a dramatic comeback! Nikki Garcia, better known to WWE fans as Nikki Bella, is no exception. While she’s been out of the ring for a while, the allure of one more match is something she just can’t shake. And it seems she has someone special in mind if she ever decides to lace up her boots again.
During a recent live edition of “The Nikki and Brie Show,” Nikki and her sister Brie were joined on stage by none other than AEW’s resident dentist, Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. Fresh off her return to AEW following a serious health scare, Baker brought up how much the Garcia twins missed the wrestling biz. Seizing the moment, Baker challenged Nikki, saying, “You don’t have to miss it. It’s right here for you. Do you want it? Because I’m right here, if you need an opponent.” Nikki, never one to back down, got up and declared, “I would come out of retirement for you.” Baker responded enthusiastically, “I would love nothing more.” Brie, on the other hand, remained seated, perhaps content with her current status.
This isn’t the first time Nikki has teased a return to the squared circle. Seeing Mercedes Mone’s debut in AEW previously ignited her competitive spirit, making her ponder a comeback. Mone, who has recently entered a feud with Baker following AEW’s Forbidden Door, might just be the spark Nikki needs.
Later in the show, Nikki made her intentions clear to the live audience, saying, “I do want to do a comeback in a few years.” Wrestling fans, start your countdowns!
