— On the heels of an initial report that WWE and Nikki Bella are in discussions about a possible return, TMZ is also reporting that “conversations are underway” and that Bella has already begun training in the likely event that an agreement is completed. The report added that the talks haven’t been ongoing for a while; instead they only began after Nikki’s appearance on the Netflix premiere of Raw which sent the crowd “into a frenzy.”
— PWinsider.com further reported that the belief within the women’s locker room following the January 6 Raw in Los Angeles was that Bella was going to be returning and that she would be landing at the WWE Performance Center soon, though as of yesterday, she had not been spotted there. TMZ also included in their story that while there is no time table for Bella returning, t’s likely WWE won’t drag its feet on the matter and will get something done quickly.
