Nikki Bella shared why the finish of her recent match looked less polished than expected. Returning to singles competition for the first time in nearly seven years, she faced Chelsea Green last Monday. As the match concluded, Nikki struggled momentarily while trying to lift her opponent’s face but then switched to a different slam, ultimately securing a pinfall win over the former US champion.
During a live post-match recap, Nikki revealed that she completely blanked on what move to use and instinctively went for her old finishing move, the Rack Attack, the same one that had caused her neck injury. She said, “Everyone kept telling me behind the scenes, ‘It’s like riding a bike,’ and it truly felt like that as I went to put Chelsea on my old Rack Attack that broke my neck.”
Nikki clarified that she immediately stopped herself from executing that move fully, explaining, “It was strange because I naturally turned her around and lifted her. Even after recovering from my neck injury, I have never done that move again.” She added, “She just asked if I was okay, but for me, it felt very wild… sometimes moments aren’t perfect. What matters is that we won.”
Following her victory, Nikki was attacked by a mysterious figure known as the Secret Hervice. Shortly afterward, Stephanie Verker appeared alongside Bella. While it’s uncertain if Nikki will continue in this storyline, this setup hints at possible rivalries to develop heading into SummerSlam.
Fan Take: Nikki Bella’s surprise return and raw match finish highlights her resilience and sets the stage for fresh storylines that can inject excitement into WWE’s upcoming events. For WWE fans, this moment is a reminder that veteran stars can still create memorable moments and fuel new rivalries that sustain the sport’s dynamic appeal.
