Since Nikki Bella has made her WWE return and rumors that Brie Bella is also headed back – a Bella led faction could soon be a reality.
From fellow veterans that have a lot of in-ring experience with Bella to relatively new stars who have cited her career as an inspiration – there are a lot options for the former Divas Champion to choose from.
Here are eight WWE stars that could join a new Nikki Bella led faction.
8. Chelsea Green
If there is any current WWE star who should absolutely be aligned with Nikki Bella – it would be Chelsea Green.
Despite her on-screen appearance on WWE Raw suggesting that her character would squarely be a babyface – she could definitely still find herself partnered up with Chelsea Green.
Naturally Green would have the social savvy to prioritize a Bella led faction rather than to try and overthrow Nikki Bella as Queen of the group – at least for a little while.
While Chelsea Green is a beloved albeit over the top heel at the minute – her past body of work has shown she could anchor an emotional and violent feud with Bella – after she inevitably betrays the Hall of Famer of course!

7. Piper Niven
Piper Niven deserves to be considered for a spot in a Nikki Bella faction, with or without her former tag team partner Chelsea Green.
Having already shown off her ability to play a variety of characters with an over the top sensibility that makes every segment memorable – Piper Niven would be an integral addition to the Nikki Bella faction.
Able to provide dead-pan comedic relief in a variety of circumstances, Niven still poses a legitimate threat to any interloper trying to attack Bella.
Particularly useful in getting sassy with any errant authority figures, Piper Niven has a lot to add to a faction with antics both inside and outside of the ring.

6. Brie Bella
With the return of Nikki Bella to WWE – fans have already been wondering if Brie Bella might not be far behind.
Their last interactions in WWE weren’t all that friendly – with Nikki eliminating Brie from the 2018 women’s Royal Rumble with the 2022 edition seeing Brie return the favor, eliminating Nikki.
Since their sibling rivalry was a focal point of not only their reality tv series but in storylines in WWE – it would be iconic to see the pair reunited again.
And then of course – going on to have a bitter rivalry!

5. Tiffany Stratton
If she is looking to recruit from SmackDown, Nikki Bella could definitely look to current WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton.
After having successfully cashed in the Money in the Bank briefcase on friend turned foe Nia Jax, Stratton has demonstrated she has been able to keep the title – beating Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 41.
While it remains to be seen what the future holds for Stratton, title or not – she would be well suited to join forces with Nikki Bella.
Having previously noted the Bellas as an inspiration – it would be the perfect fit for a Bella led faction to run on Tiffy Time!

4. Nia Jax
Another over the top character who would actually be the perfect fit for a Nikki Bella faction is Nia Jax.
Nia Jax is unafraid of being disliked – which shouldn’t really be such a heel characteristic when you think about the amount of hate some of the women’s division’s stars actually get.
With Nia Jax as a potential bodyguard for Nikki Bella, she would serve as the perfect brick wall to make sure that Bella doesn’t have to get her hands dirty too often.
In a faction that would be stacked with powerful and glamourous stars, Nia Jax would be the perfect addition.

3. Dungeon Dolls (Maxxine Dupri & Natalya)
Already featured in a backstage segment with Nikki Bella upon her return to WWE TV on Raw – Maxxine Dupri and Natalya would be the perfect fit for the group.
With recent reports that the pair are poised to make their partnership official – by dropping the tag team name Dungeon Dolls – perhaps the duo are uniting before joining Nikki Bella’s faction.
With a long history between Bella and Natalya, there is also a ton of reasons why Dupri would want to be aligned with Nikki Bella.
Having cited the Bella Twins previously as inspirational to her involvement in WWE, Maxxine Dupri would make the perfect addition of a newer generation star.

2. Naomi
With Naomi’s chaotic new edge, she would seem unlikely to join a group – however there is always one wild one in every girl squad.
Being able to conceivably have her behavior explained away by Bella as cumulative frustration, Naomi could keep her character intact whilst becoming the unpredictable force that every faction really needs.
Reuniting with Nikki Bella would give Naomi a great excuse to be an ever present threat with her Money in the Bank briefcase as well – likely to strike any champion at any time.
Able to dominate the WWE women’s division in a way that was previously unheard of for women in WWE could be an incredible catharsis for some of the characters who were taken the least seriously in the Divas Era.

1. Paige
Speaking of the Divas Era – there would be no better time for there to be a massive Total Divas reunion than ahead of the upcoming WWE Evolution 2.
With Saraya currently a noted free agent in professional wrestling after confirming her AEW departure, the way could be paved for the return of Paige in WWE.
Having notable on-screen interactions with Nikki Bella not only on WWE TV but also through the aforementioned iconic reality show – Paige would be the perfect veteran.
With both Bella and Paige able to bond in their return to the ring after being presumed to have had career ending injuries – it would be particularly compelling to eventually see these two tangle in the ring again.
