WWE Raw results: Nikki Bella's return cut short by Liv Morgan's attack, Evolution 2 match teased
Nikki Bella I Credits: WWE/Netflix
WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella made her long-awaited return to Monday Night RAW in Phoenix this week. The crowd welcomed her with loud cheers as she stepped back into the spotlight. Nikki was there to talk about the upcoming Evolution 2 premium live event, WWE's all-women's show set for July 13 in Atlanta. It will be only the second time Evolution takes place after its first edition in 2018, which Nikki herself headlined in a match against Ronda Rousey.
This return was special. Nikki met with a few wrestlers backstage, including Maxxine Dupri and Women's World Champion Iyo Sky. She praised the new generation and mentioned names like Roxanne Perez and Stephanie Vaquer, pointing out that the current division is filled with talent. But the moment she entered the ring to give her speech, things started to take a turn.
Nikki Bella had main-evented the first Evolution program against Ronda Rousey in 2018 for the women's World Championship, and her presence in the return of the all-women PLE will only help to elevate the upcoming event further.
Nikki began talking about the future of women's wrestling and how proud she was to see how far the division has come. She reminded everyone of how important the Evolution event is and hinted that she would be part of it in some form. Just when it looked like Nikki was getting the spotlight, Liv Morgan came out with a microphone in hand and a chip on her shoulder. Liv Morgan attacks Nikki Bella after feeling disrespected

Liv was clearly upset. She wasted no time in letting everyone know that she felt disrespected because Nikki didn't mention her name while praising the division. Liv said that Nikki was jealous of her success and took a dig at her personal life. She said she was a champion and had a man, referring to Dominik Mysterio, while Nikki had neither. The fans reacted loudly to that line but Nikki didn't stay quiet.
Nikki fired back by bringing up the ongoing rumours around Dominik and Roxanne Perez. She told Liv that she might want to give Perez a call to say thanks for stealing both her title shot and her man. This made Liv furious. She stepped into the ring and suddenly dropped Nikki with her finisher, Oblivion, before walking away with a smirk on her face. Nikki was left lying in the ring as officials checked on her.
That shocking attack wasn't just a one-off moment. It seems like WWE is setting up a high-profile match between Liv Morgan and Nikki Bella at Evolution 2. With Liv currently holding the Women's Tag-Team Championship and Nikki looking to prove she still belongs, the stage is set for an intense rivalry.
While there is no confirmation yet, fans are already talking about the match as one of the main attractions at Evolution. There is also curiosity around whether Brie Bella might join her sister to even the odds (chances are quite slim). For now, Nikki might have come back to celebrate women's wrestling, but Liv Morgan made sure that her return was anything but peaceful.
