WWE Superstars are known to make public appearances if their busy schedule permits it. Nikki Bella is no stranger to showing up outside WWE events, as the former Total Bellas star is now adding another appearance to the list.
Nikki Bella made a high-profile appearance Thursday night at the Fiesta Bowl. This continues WWEs ever-present footprint in their new partnership with ESPN.
Nikki Bella was on hand for the College Football Playoff semifinal between Miami Hurricanes and Ole Miss Rebels, appearing on the sideline with a custom College Football Playoff National Championship title belt. The appearance tied directly into WWE and ESPNs growing partnership.
Earlier on Thursday, WWE and ESPN announced they are extending their collaboration into college football. The two companies are rolling out fan-focused activations tied to the CFP, including a joint WWEESPN event on January 16 at the Miami Beach Convention Center.
Fans also got their first official look at the title belt during the Fiesta Bowl broadcast, with Bella serving as the reveal. ESPN confirmed that the belt will be available to fans through an official sweepstakes.
Nikki Bellas appearance comes during an active WWE run following her return in 2025. She re-entered the spotlight at the Womens Royal Rumble. The WWE Hall of Famer returned to the company to take care of some unfinished business. Only time will tell if she gets another title run out of the deal.
