On Monday, Nikki Bella rocked a red leather ensemble to attend her first major event – Netflix’s WWE Monday Night Raw – since putting her divorce drama behind her.
The 41-year-old retired wrestler flaunted maximum cleavage in a waist-cinching bustier, matching pants featuring white stripes, and slingback heels selected by stylist Natalie Saidi.
Nikki (born Stephanie Nicole Garcia-Colace) had her raven mane coiffed and her make-up applied by one-woman glam squad, Eileen Sandoval, for the sporty event at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, CA.
Bella accessorized her skin-on-skin attire with a tiny grey ‘Ciao Bella’ bag and large hoop earrings.
On November 26, the Nikki & Brie Show podcaster finalized her divorce from ex-husband #2 Artem Chigvintsev, who was arrested for felony domestic violence on August 29 after she accused him of ‘tackling her multiple times and pinning her to the ground.’
On September 24, Napa County District Attorney Allison Haley announced her office declined to file criminal charges against the 42-year-old professional dancer due to ‘lack of evidence.’

Artem – who claimed Nikki was ‘the aggressor’ – revealed in legal docs that the arrest and subsequent fall-out cost him over ‘$100K in loss of income’ since he can’t find work.
Bella and Chigvintsev – who were only married for two years – share joint custody of their four-year-old son Matteo Artemovich Chigvintsev.
‘We aren’t here to fix other people, we just aren’t,’ the WWE Hall of Famer said on the December 30th episode of her SiriusXM podcast.
‘We’re here to lead by example. We are here to teach our children, nurture our children, teach others — lead by example — but we are not here to fix. And it took me 41 years to realize that, and I’m definitely taking that into my 2025.’
Nikki added: ‘If you’re in that kind of relationship that you are fixing, you need to find your way out, because trying to fix someone isn’t going to bring love and happiness and change. You’re honestly, in the end, gonna drain yourself and just bring sadness.’
The Soviet-born hoofer was previously married to Giselle Peacock and Bella previously annulled her three-year marriage to high school sweetheart Todd Tasco.
The San Diego-born beauty was still engaged to John Cena in 2017 when she first partnered with Artem during the 25th season of ABC’s Dancing with the Stars.
