With Brie Bella’s return at the WWE Royal Rumble 2026, there is certainly set to be a major plan for the return of the Bella Twins to WWE.
With the Bella Twins looking to make a huge return to WWE in 2026, it may be that there are several intriguing storylines awaiting the WWE Hall of Famers.
Here are six potential return plans in WWE for the Bella Twins.
6. Immediately challenge RHIYO for WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship
With the return of Brie Bella at Royal Rumble 2026, it could finally be time for the Bella Twins to challenge for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship.
With the titles having been established after the pair were in competition together, it would certainly seem that they’re destined to eventually capture them.
However, rather than prolong the journey until WrestleMania 42, it might be that at the first opportunity — the Bellas are gonna ball.
Potentially immediately targeting the current WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, the Bella Twins could cut straight to the point and look to grab gold.

5. Attack AJ Lee
One star that didn’t make a return in the Royal Rumble after having made an in-ring comeback in 2025 was AJ Lee.
While fans are anticipating AJ Lee resuming her feud with Becky Lynch, perhaps she’ll be met by a pair of old foes.
Possibly leading to a throwback feud by which the dastardly Bellas look to prevent AJ Lee from ever getting her shot at the Women’s Intercontinental Championship, the pair could target her to prevent her from ever reaching Lynch.
Potentially leading to another nostalgic return in the form of Paige to team up with AJ Lee against the Bella Twins, there could be a very fun WrestleMania 42 storyline coming up.

4. Feud with Bayley & Lyra Valkyria
One feud that could finally come to fruition may be that of the Bella Twins taking on Bayley and Lyra Valkyria.
After seeds were planted in the Royal Rumble 2025 for a feud between Nikki Bella and Bayley never seemed to grow — it could be that 2026 is finally the time.
With Nikki and Brie Bella being responsible for ousting Bayley and Lyra Valykria from the Royal Rumble 2026, it could be that the Bella Twins are headed straight for a feud with the pals from WWE Raw.
Certainly able to spend some time engaged in a feud with the likes of Bayley and Lyra on the Road to WrestleMania 42 and inevitably challenging for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship.

3. Wreak Havoc on NXT
A pair of WWE stars that have yet to make an appearance in NXT are in fact, the Bella Twins.
With both Nikki and Brie Bella bringing a tremendous amount of star power to the developmental brand, it could be that the duo serve as the most amazing interim NXT GMs.
Since Ava has announced that she has elected not to renew her contract with WWE and has departed her role as NXT GM – perhaps Nikki and Brie will step into the role.
Able to create chaos in NXT through heelish antics, the Bella Twins could bring a brand new energy to Tuesday Nights for a few weeks at least.

2. Win TNA Knockouts Tag Team Championship
Going along with a potential stay on WWE NXT from the Bella Twins, the duo could make a major impact in TNA Wrestling.
Able to join the TNA Knockouts division and immediately anchor the roster, the pair could make their mark on the brand new AMC Network series, Thursday Night iMPACT! and immediately become champs.
After The IInspiration dropped the Knockouts Tag Team titles to The Elegance Brand (Heather by Elegance and M by Elegance) on the debut episode of the new series, perhaps they are headed for a Hall of Fame worthy challenger coming from WWE.
With the Bella Twins spending February and early March entrenched in TNA Wrestling, the duo could end up arriving at WrestleMania 42 already holding the Knockouts Tag Team Championship in pursuit of the main roster equivalent.

1. Start a new faction
One potential path forward for the Bella Twins would be to create their own brand new faction on WWE Raw.
With Raquel Rodriguez being betrayed by Liv Morgan in the Royal Rumble 2026, perhaps the Bella Twins will look to recruit some muscle.
In need of the enforcer services of Big Mami Cool to inflict maximum damage, they could also end up looking to bring others into the group.
Potentially recruiting a returning Paige, The IInspiration, call-ups from NXT like Lola Vice or allies from SmackDown like Chelsea Green or Tiffany Stratton – we could see an amazing throwback supergroup arrive in WWE.
