Nikki Bella Goes Viral In Racy Outfit At WWE Raw On Monday
01/07/2025 12:21 PM
Last night's episode of "Monday Night RAW" featured several appearances from former WWE stars, including Nikki Garcia.
Garcia, who rose to prominence under the stage name Nikki Bella, was in attendance at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California. It was her first public outing since she finalized her divorce from ballroom dancer Artem Chigvintsev' in November. Chigvintsev, who was arrested for domestic violence last August just days after the couple's wedding anniversary, shares one child, a four-year-old son named Matteo, with Garcia.
In the months since the split was finalized, Garcia has been very open about how difficult the entire experience was. That's why it was so good to see her out and about smiling and dancing on Monday.
The 41-year-old entertainer stood out in a bright red leather strapless corset and matching pants.

Garcia was a star in WWE from 2007 from 2022, performing alongside her twin sister Brie as part of The Bella Twins.
Last month, she addressed her divorce for the first time on an episode of "The Nikki & Brie Show," the podcast the sisters share.
"I've been heartbroken. You dream of having this family and you have this incredible love, and it just goes the other way. You go from having a great love story to having a terrible one," Garcia said.
"I just know that situations like this, divorce, whatever it may be, it takes a piece of you," she continued. "It takes a piece of your heart that will never grow back or never be replaced, but it's, 'How do we make that piece of you that's gone strong?'"
Brie and Nikki previously teased a potential wrestling comeback in an interview with The Spun's Chris Rosvoglou in May 2024.
"I've really built myself up as a TV personality. I feel like at this point in my life, I've done what I've done outside the ring," Nikki said. "I've also grown as an entrepreneur. I always want to make sure that I have two things going well at once. I like to work on myself. I do think one day there'll be a comeback for sure.
"I think we'll be the next Kathie Lee and Hoda [Kotb] in our own way. That's what we love about our podcast. People have come and gone in podcasting. We've been going for seven years strong. We now have an incredible partnership with SiriusXM. It's all about how much work you're going to put in. We want to make sure every second counts of every day."
