Nikki recently finalized her divorce from Artem Chigvintsev in November. The split followed Chigvintsev’s August arrest for domestic violence, though charges were dropped in September due to insufficient evidence.
She last competed in 2022, during the Women’s Royal Rumble match. Her last singles match took place in 2018.

• Hulk Hogan’s appearance on the January 6 episode of WWE RAW’s Netflix debut faced significant backlash from fans in attendance at the Intuit Dome.
Despite his status as a 2-time WWE Hall of Famer, the audience greeted him with loud boos and profane chants, including “F**k Hulk Hogan,” which reportedly echoed off-camera during his segment.
Hogan, joined by his longtime manager Jimmy Hart, tried to energize the crowd while promoting his Real American Beer and Saturday Night’s Main Event. This was Hogan’s first live appearance on WWE TV after two years.
However, both his live promo and a pre-recorded commercial featuring him were met with overwhelming disapproval, as fans repeatedly drowned out his attempts to speak.
