Writing in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer noted that the twins are expected back “very soon.” While a specific date for their return to Raw or SmackDown has not been finalized, Nikki Bella recently confirmed on Access Hollywood that they will both be active participants at WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas on April 18-19.
The duo has expressed interest in targeting the top of the women’s tag team division, specifically eyeing matchups against the newly crowned champions The Irresistible Forces (Nia Jax and Lash Legend).
