Liv Morgan set for WWE Evolution feud with Nikki Bella: Tensions escalated on Monday Night RAW as Women’s Tag Team Champion Liv Morgan found herself trading words with WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella, fueling speculation about a high-stakes clash at WWE Evolution next month. Reports suggest that the fiery confrontation signals the launch of a new rivalry, possibly culminating in a major title match at the anticipated all-women’s event.
Rivalry Brewing Between Liv Morgan and Nikki Bella
The animosity between Nikki Bella and Liv Morgan became clear during their intense exchange on RAW, indicating the start of what could be one of WWE’s most notable feuds heading into WWE Evolution. Industry insiders at Ringside News noted that this heated interaction looks set to develop into a full-blown rivalry. Faced with mounting tension, Morgan may soon face off against Nikki Bella in the squared circle, raising the stakes for the Women’s division as the event draws near.
Adding another layer of intrigue, speculation is mounting that Brie Bella could rejoin her sister Nikki. If The Bella Twins reunite, a showdown between them and the championship duo of Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez for the WWE Women’s Tag Team titles may become one of the marquee matches at Evolution. Such a match would signal a major moment for both the returning legends and the reigning champions.
Looking Back at Past WWE Evolution Appearances
For both Nikki Bella and Liv Morgan, WWE Evolution is not uncharted territory. At the 2018 edition, Nikki challenged Ronda Rousey for the RAW Women’s Championship in a high-profile main event, while Morgan joined forces with The Riott Squad—Ruby Riott and Sarah Logan—against powerhouse trio Sasha Banks, Bayley, and Natalya. Although neither Morgan nor Nikki emerged victorious at that show, their participation added substantial star power and demonstrated their drive to compete on WWE’s biggest women-centered stage.
Nikki Bella’s Comeback Sparks New Opportunities
Nikki Bella’s return to RAW was confirmed during the Money in the Bank Premium Live Event, but the anticipation around her comeback began building earlier. Veteran superstar Natalya gave early hints of Nikki’s reemergence during a recent interview, offering insight into Bella’s preparation for the spotlight.
During a conversation with Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Bill Apter, Natalya revealed an inside look into Nikki’s training regimen. She described how Nikki had committed to private sessions alongside her and Tyson Kidd (TJ), focusing intensively on in-ring performance for the past two months.
“I have been working with Nikki Bella. Bella has been coming in and privately training with me and TJ for the last two months now. So I just saw her a few weeks ago, and she… Nikki was in my ring for four hours training… I said to Nikki, I was like, ‘I forgot how good she actually is.’ She poured her heart into our training,”
she said. —Natalya, WWE Superstar
What Nikki Bella’s Return Means for WWE Evolution
Nikki Bella last entered the WWE ring as the final entrant in the 2025 Women’s Royal Rumble Match. There, she made a memorable impact by eliminating the previous year’s winner, Bayley, before being ousted by Nia Jax and narrowly missing a triumphant comeback. This set the stage for her reintegration into the WWE roster and built anticipation for her future appearances.
With WWE Evolution on the horizon, the rivalry between Nikki Bella and Liv Morgan—possibly involving respected names like Brie Bella, Raquel Rodriguez, and elements of the Riott Squad—could elevate the prestige of the Women’s Tag Team division. As the superstars prepare to clash, their encounter promises to deliver both high emotion and athletic intensity, marking an important moment for women’s wrestling within the WWE universe.
