Your wife has got a valid visa to enter the UK, which entitles her to leave and re-enter the UK.
Nothing additional is needed, apart from her passport.
You were referring to the UK ETA I assume >>> https://www.gov.uk/eta/when-not-need-eta
A "certificate of entitlement" is often mentioned here but it refers only to British citizens without British passport.
This is just my opinion as a member of this forum and does not constitute immigration advice.
Please do not send me private messages asking for advice.
