Narrative:
At gear retraction after takeoff master caution/fire bell annunciated with a wheel well fire indication. Gear finished retracting; we finished cleanup and requested immediate turn back to ZZZ and a level off. Completed QRH procedure; diversion checklist; ran performance data for runway xx. Under VFR we descended normally for a normal landing on runway xx. Arff (airport fire fighting and rescue) was standing by and reported no visible fire indications. Ops and dispatch were contacted and briefed on our situation. We shut down both engines with APU running and arff conducted an inspection of wheel wells. With no evidence of fire or smoke; we started both engines and returned to gate. All crew and passengers were deplaned normally.
