Summary

Nikki Bella says she could see herself stepping into a future on-screen authority role in WWE once her in-ring career is over, specifically naming Raw general manager as a job that interests her.

Bella is currently sidelined with an ankle injury, but she said the talk around possible changes to WWE's general manager spots caught her attention. The idea stood out to her because it would let her stay part of the show without needing to wrestle.

That comes as Bella continues to talk openly about both her recovery and what the next stage of her WWE career could look like. She recently shared her recovery timeline after ankle surgery while also expressing hope that she can be back around WWE Night of Champions in June.

Quote from Nikki Bella

While speaking on a solo edition of The Nikki and Brie Show, Bella said:

"What I love about this one: I can do this, not being in the ring. There was a lot of talk about it on X, like, 'should they change the general managers?' I would love to be a general manager at one point. After (the) in ring stuff, I'd love at some point to be a general manager for Raw. When I saw all that talk and someone put me as the GM for Raw, I was like, I actually like that!"

What A Nikki Bella Raw Role Would Change

Bella naming Raw specifically matters because it frames her future in WWE as more than a one-off return. If she does make it back from her ankle injury for another run, an authority role would give WWE a clear way to keep her on television after that chapter ends.

It also shows Bella is already thinking about a long-term place on the main roster presentation, not just a short nostalgia appearance. For a performer with her name recognition, Raw general manager would be one of the simplest ways to carry that presence forward without relying on a full-time ring schedule.
