A former Women’s Champion and WWE Hall of Famer has let it be known that they would love to have a match against Rhea Ripley.
Now seen as one of the top stars in the entire company, not just the women’s division, Ripley has often been named by many stars as a future dream match. Joining that list is Nikki Bella, who recently made her return to WWE on the June 9th episode of Raw. Unfortunately for the Hall of Famer, things did not go according to plan for her as her segment was interrupted by Liv Morgan, who laid out the former Women’s Champion with an Oblivion.
Following Bella’s return, it is now expected that she will either face Morgan one-on-one at Evolution on July 13th or the Hall of Famer will reunite with her sister Brie and challenge Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez for the Women’s Tag Team Championships at the upcoming Premium Live Event.
While speaking with Jean Chery of Sports Illustrated, Bella first spoke about her interactions with Morgan:
“Well, I think one for the future, when Liv came out like a fireball last night, I was like, ‘Oh sh*t. Okay.’ We’ve only got to see each other a little bit before Evolution, so I’m excited for that.”
WWE Hall Of Famer Nikki Bella Talks Rhea Ripley
Later in the interview, Bella brought up Ripley and stated that she would love a match against Mami, but only if she could be the heel:
“I think one day it would be incredible to work Rhea Ripley, and I’ve been saying this for the past four or five years. I would really love to do something with her, but I don’t want to be a good girl when I do it.”
Although Bell has never faced Ripley one-on-one, both women were entrants in the 2022 Women’s Royal Rumble match, which was ultimately won by a returning Ronda Rousey. Both women are former champions as Bella held the Divas Championship twice and Ripley has held the top titles on the main roster 3 times.
