Tony Khan would love to have Nikki and/or Brie Garcia in AEW.
Earlier this week, the former Nikki Bella mentioned on her podcast that she recently considered reaching out to Khan about making an in-ring return. However, Nikki eventually decided she would be unable to take time away from her young son, Matteo.
Khan was asked about Nikki's comments during an appearance on The Battleground podcast and responded that he considers The Garcia Twins like family.
Khan said:
If Nikki Garcia ever wanted to come into AEW, I would be very interested in that. I think the world of her, I have so much respect for Nicole and Brie. They’re like family to us because Bryan is like a part of my family, and that makes Brie and Nicole part of the family.
I have so much respect for both of them and if Nikki was interested in coming to AEW, we would love to have her here any time. That was so great to hear, it means the world. I just like both of them so much, I think they're really, really cool and really, really great stars that would add a lot to AEW if they ever wanted to come.
Neither Nikki nor Brie Garcia have wrestled since the women's Royal Rumble match in 2022.
Former AEW Women's World Champion Britt Baker responded to news that Nikki was considering an AEW run. She posted a clip of her talking about The Bella's influence on the industry in response to a news article about Nikki's comments.
"Any female wrestler right now, if you can say The Bella Twins didn't inspire you in some way, you're lying," Baker says in the clip.
