Despite embracing the dark side and turning heel last month, Nikki Bella did not defeat Stephanie Vaquer for the Women’s World Championship this past weekend at Survivor Series. After every major storyline or match that Bella has been involved in since June, fans have questioned how long she’ll proceed to be featured on “WWE Raw” on a weekly basis, knowing that she’s a returning legend who may revert to a part-time schedule. Although her loss on Saturday led many to imagine that she can be taking day without work, Dave Meltzer revealed during a recent edition of the “Wrestling Observer Radio” that Bella will likely be sticking around for the foreseeable future.
“I do know she’s not going anywhere, or a minimum of there isn’t a plans for her to go anywhere, but when I watched this not knowing that, I might think ‘oh she’s going home now,’ that is the way it got here off. It got here off just like the legend got here back, she had her little run and now she’s going home. That is not only clean but clear cut and just they didn’t give her anything.”
Going forward, it stays to be seen if Bella will look to earn a rematch against Vaquer for the Women’s World Championship, or if she is going to goal one other belt on “Raw,” resembling Maxxine Dupri’s recent Intercontinental Title. After Survivor Series concluded, Bella confirmed that she is going to return following her loss to the “Dark Angel” in a backstage interview.
“You understand what happened on the market? I lost, but let me inform you something, this is not the last of Nikki Bella, you bought that? It isn’t the last.”
