WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella has recently been involved with both current and emerging WWE talents at the WWE Evolution Battle Royale. However, she expressed a desire to pursue a singles wrestling program with a rising star in the company who still has a lot of potential.
Nikki shared on “Busted Open Radio” that she envisions a collaboration similar to her own past storyline with Paige, where Paige’s anti-diva, goth persona contrasted with Brie Bella’s character. She believes she could create something special with Rhea Ripley, highlighting Ripley’s layered personality and how Nikki’s character could bring out even more depth in her. Nikki emphasized that their chemistry could produce not only exciting in-ring action but also a fresh and compelling storytelling experience.
Nikki’s last televised singles match was at the inaugural WWE Evolution Premium Live event in October 2018, where she faced Ronda Rousey with her twin sister Brie Bella supporting her. Rhea Ripley also competed at that event, though her British Women’s Championship match against Dakota Kai was not televised. Since then, Nikki has appeared in Royal Rumble matches, while Ripley’s stock has risen significantly, holding multiple titles including the WWE Women’s World Championship.
