Nikki Bella has paid tribute to her son with some small details in her latest WWE shirt.
The WWE Hall of Famer made a shock return to the WWE in the 2025 Royal Rumble. She entered the match at number 30 to a huge pop, wrestling her first match since 2022.
She performed admirably, eliminating Bayley before being thrown out of the match by Nia Jax.
At the 2025 Royal Rumble, Nikki Bella tore off her shirt during her entrance before flinging the broken fabric into the crowd. That shirt quickly went on sale online, with fans noticing some interesting details about the shirt.
One fan noticed a tiny monkey on the shirt between the words “Fearless” and “Nikki” and questioned whether it was placed there for Nikki’s son, Matteo. The former WWE Divas Champion was quick to confirm that it was placed intentionally as a tribute to her son.
Nikki Bella also revealed that the “swoosh” has had an “M” integrated into it. This is also a reference to Matteo as Nikki Bella embraces being a mother and a wrestler at the same time.
“Yes and my swoosh now makes a M for him too!! #BellaArmy,” Nikki Bella said.
Nikki Bella Names Dream Matches And Goals Following Her WWE Return
During the latest episode of The Nikki & Brie Show, WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella was asked by a fan what dream matches and goals she has upon her return to the company. Nikki named Chelsea Green and Rhea Ripley.
“There’s so many people I’d love to face,” Nikki Bella admitted. “I mean, there’s just such incredible women. It’s so hard to choose. I remember when WWE’s YouTube asked this right after. And I was just so overwhelmed with emotion, so I was throwing names out.”
“But if I immediately look at something like just what Chelsea Green has been bringing to social media about the Divas. Stuff she has said in interviews. Like, I immediately get turned on by that, because I’m like, huh, she has been talking about the Divas lately. So I think something like that would be really fun to work Chelsea.”
“Of course, another dream match would be against Rhea [Ripley]. And I would love to do that with Brie. When I think of my Ronda run for Evolution and just those feels, I think something like that would be so fun to bring in, especially with Brie and the Bella army because I felt like in my run against Ronda, it wasn’t just about Ronda and I, it was also about Brie at my side, but about the Bellaution about the Bella army being behind us.”
