Nikki Garcia Returns to the Spotlight Following Breakup with Artem Chigvintsev

Nikki Garcia made her first public appearance surrounding her recent split from Artem Chigvintsev. She attended the premiere of Netflix's WWE Monday Night Raw in Los Angeles.

Nikki's Return to the Spotlight

Less than two months after finalizing her divorce and dropping a dual restraining order against Artem, Nikki stepped out for the Jan. 6 event. Dressed in a striking red leather ensemble, she wore a strapless bustier paired with straight-leg pants featuring white stripes. The 41-year-old showcased her long waves and carried a dazzling silver purse, accessorized with oversized hoop earrings.

Several stars joined Nikki for the event, which included an action-packed night featuring CM Punk facing Seth "Freakin" Rollins and Roman Reigns competing with Solo Sikoa in Tribal Combat. Celebrities like John Cena, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, and Tiffany Haddish were also in attendance for the launch of Netflix's sports show.

Nikki's Candid Reflections

In the lead-up to her appearance at WWE Monday Night Raw, Nikki opened up about navigating "super weak moments" experienced in recent months. Her reflections followed the conclusion of her two-year marriage and circumstances surrounding Artem's August arrest for suspicion of felony domestic violence, after which he was not charged. Both Nikki and Artem filed restraining orders alleging aggression from each other.

During a December 2024 episode of her podcast, The Nikki & Brie Show, Nikki emphasized the importance of navigating their situation. She stated, "What do we do, and who do we need to lean on?" Nikki confirmed this personal growth involved reflecting on her journey.

She noted, "It made me sit back and ask, ‘Why have all these things happened to me?’" Nikki concluded, "When negativity crosses my path, I will seek the beauty and lessons that come from it."
