Physical Altercation Sparks Intense Rivalry
The confrontation between Lynch and Bella took a personal turn soon after it began. Nikki Bella accused Lynch of dishonesty, linking her remarks to Seth Rollins’ controversial Money In The Bank cash-in, which shocked fans due to Rollins’ earlier reported knee injury. In response, Lynch brought up details from Bella’s past, including her relationship with John Cena and her involvement in the deleted scenes from “Happy Gilmore 2.” The exchange culminated with Lynch delivering a sucker punch to Bella before swiftly exiting the ring, heightening anticipation for their upcoming feud.
“Bella called Lynch a liar just like her husband, referencing Seth Rollins shocking the world and cashing in Money In The Bank despite letting the world think he had a knee injury that was set to keep him out of action for several months. Lynch responded by referencing Bella’s relationship with John Cena and her part in Happy Gilmore 2 that was cut from the finished film. Lynch then sucker-punched Bella before making her escape from the ring.” —Anonymous source
