She’s got a shot at the Women’s Intercontinental title this Saturday at Clash in Paris, but Nikki Bella’s eyes are on another prize — one she wants to be able to pull a little Twin Magic to win.
That’s what Bella said when she chatted with our old friend Rick Ucchino, now over at SI.com’s The Takedown, ahead of this weekend’s match with Becky Lynch:
“Before this run is done, I truly hope to be with Brie going after the tag titles and just having that opportunity to be tag team champions… I really wanna
have that moment with her, and honestly, I wanna have that moment to go back and be a heel with her. Being a villain and causing chaos, doing what the Bella’s do best.”
A Bellas reunion would require WWE to sign Brie, something the other half of the Hall of Fame duo recently revealed isn’t happening because her husband — Bryan “Daniel Bryan” Danielson — is still a key player at AEW. That hasn’t stopped Nikki, who says she has the support of the entire women’s locker room in her efforts:
“I keep pushing it. All the women want her back and they keep asking me every week has that decision changed. I don’t think legacies should be determined on spouses, but I also understand business.”
She thinks they’re making headway, though:
“I do think [WWE is] becoming more and more open to it. I understand it takes time and we just have to figure things out. There’s so much business to figure out, and Brie and I both completely understand that.”
Rick Ucchino’s full interview with Nikki Bella drops Friday.
