Nikki Bella’s Return Changed WWE’s Creative Plans For SmackDown

Nikki Bella’s return at “Summerslam” wasn’t unexpected, but it was a welcome surprise for many people within the WWE Universe. Others were obviously chagrined at the sight of her.

Despite the mixed reaction she gets from the WWE Universe, she gets a reaction and is one of the most well-known, experienced, and accomplished women in WWE history.

According to a report from CageSideSeats.com, Nikki Bella’s return to WWE programming brought about a lot of change behind the scenes with WWE’s creative plans for SmackDown.

Apparently, Nikki Bella was brought to SmackDown because WWE feels that she’ll be able to help bolster the roster, establish the SmackDown Women’s Championship, and it’s also the same brand John Cena is on.

Before Nikki Bella was medically cleared, WWE officials were planning for Bayley to become the top face of SmackDown, but Nikki getting medically cleared a little earlier than expected changed those plans.

As of this writing, the expectation is that Nikki Bella is going to win the SmackDown Women’s Championship at “Backlash,” but she’s not expected to hold it for much longer than a few months.

Do you think Nikki Bella is the right choice to become the SmackDown Women’s Champion?
