Nikki Bella has positioned herself as Becky Lynch’s latest adversary after a tense confrontation during the August 4 episode of RAW. Lynch, who recently defended her WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship against Lyra Valkyria at SummerSlam, found her victory celebrations interrupted by Nikki Bella, leading to sharp, personal insults exchanged between the two, including a pointed reference to Nikki’s past relationship with John Cena.
Potential Involvement of Brie Bella in Nikki and Becky Lynch’s Growing Feud
The confrontation on RAW has ignited anticipation of a championship clash between Nikki Bella and Becky Lynch at the upcoming Clash in Paris event on August 31. Lynch narrowly retained her title at SummerSlam through cunning means, but defending against Nikki may present new challenges, especially if Brie Bella is involved. The Bella Twins, known for their strong partnership during their WWE tenure, could reunite to support Nikki in this rivalry.
During SummerSlam weekend, the sisters recorded an episode of their “Nikki & Brie Show,” where fans chanted “Yes!”—a chant famously associated with Brie’s husband, Daniel Bryan, who performs as Bryan Danielson in AEW. Nikki hinted at bringing that energy back to WWE, responding to the crowd with:
You can bring ‘Yes’ chants to WWE.
—Nikki Bella
Brie added:
And I should.
—Brie Bella
This development is notable considering Brie’s recent comments suggesting WWE’s hesitance toward her return due to her husband’s affiliation with AEW, and the company’s alleged request for Danielson to refrain from using the chant outside WWE.
Uncertainty Surrounds Brie Bella’s Loyalty Amid Past Tensions
The Bella Twins’ relationship has been complicated at times, with Nikki previously betraying Brie during a 2015 SummerSlam singles match against Stephanie McMahon. Now, nearly ten years later, Brie may feel compelled to take action if she believes Nikki’s current success in WWE is undeserved.
Both sisters left WWE in March 2023 when their contracts expired, choosing to explore other ventures such as podcasting. Nikki made a surprise return at the Royal Rumble in February 2024 and began a feud with Liv Morgan, which was derailed by Morgan’s injury. On the other hand, Brie has not reappeared since her contract ended and has hinted that WWE remains cautious about welcoming her back because of her marriage to Danielson, which took place on April 11, 2014, during their WWE careers.
Implications for the Becky Lynch Nikki Bella Feud as Clash in Paris Approaches
As Clash in Paris draws near, the involvement of Brie Bella could alter the stakes of the Becky Lynch Nikki Bella feud dramatically. If Brie returns to WWE and sides with Nikki, it would revive the Bella Twins’ dynamic as a formidable duo, potentially impacting Lynch’s championship reign. The tension between the sisters adds another layer of complexity and suspense to the ongoing storyline, intensifying fans’ interest in the upcoming showdown.
