Welcome back to wrestling world!
Today we’ll be taking a look at the latest on Nikki Bella returning to WWE, The drama
between Stephanie McMahon and another superstar, and more
So let’s get into everything with Nikki Bella and even Brie Bella
The Bella Twins were part of the active roster for just over a decade
They debuted in 2008 and the last time we saw Nikki and Brie Bella was in 2018 for the
main event of WWE Evolution where Nikki lost to Ronda Rousey
The Bella Twins haven’t been seen in the ring since
It’s been said that The Bellas were supposed to return on the raw after Wrestlemania in
2019 to start a feud with the Iconics over the women’s tag team titles, but that never
happened due to Nikki’s injury
Nikki had suffered another devastating neck injury and the doctors informed her that she
couldn’t get back into ring
It’s been 3 years since Nikki Bella has stepped in the ring and it looks like she’s
still being optimistic about a WWE return
She had this to say during the Bella Twins podcast:
"I really want to do a WWE return with Brie and go after the tag titles.
That's one thing I really want to do before I hang up the Nikes for good.
I want to do one last run.
The desire and passion I used to have, all put into that run.
When I went back and had the run with Ronda [Rousey], it was a difficult time with the
break up and being back there so quick."
"I guess I have been talking about this run as if I'm cleared, which I'm not cleared to
wrestle.
I saw a doctor last week who is starting to help me with neck strengthening exercises.
I'm working on doing everything I can to increase bone growth with bone fusion and helping herniation.
Since I haven't done any hardcore impact since my match with Ronda, hopefully the herniation
that happened above my bone fusion has gotten better”
Nikki revealed a lot there.
Nikki Bella’s 2018 run looks like it was meant to sort of be her last official run
with WWE
But like Nikki Bella said, she feels like the breakup from John Cena really ruined the
whole vibe and mood during that last run
Not only that, but right as the Bella Twins were leaving, WWE was introducing the women’s
tag team titles for the first time and those titles have really intrigued the Bellas
They feel like they can’t call it a career until they have a run together as the women’s
tag team champions
Like Nikki Bella said, she’s speaking like if she’s cleared when she’s actually not
cleared, but she feels like her injury may get better with all this time of her being
out of action
We’ve seen a lot of miracle returns in recent years with Daniel Bryan and Edge, so that
gives superstars like Nikki Bella hope to never say never
Nikki Bella was inducted to the WWE Hall Of Fame in 2020, she’s had a successful career
and has nothing left to really prove, but it does seem like Nikki and Brie are both
set on having one reign as tag team champions before they retire for good
Do you want to see Nikki Bella return to WWE?

So why is this story of Stephanie McMahon getting Triple H jealous with another WWE
superstar in the news?
Well it was Kurt Angle who brought up the story and revealed what was going on backstage
It was a Smackdown storyline in the early 2000s that saw Stephanie McMahon and Kurt
Angle’s WWE characters flirting with each other and having all these moments together
backstage and inside of the ring
Kurt Angle recently revealed the conversions he would have with Stephanie McMahon when
they were setting up the segments and Stephanie would want to take the segments further than
he wanted to take it
He had this to say during The Kurt Angle show:
“I remember, you know, before the match, we were planning on what to do, and I didn’t
know how we were going to celebrate.
If we wanted to get Triple H angry, we had to do something that would be offensive towards
him.
So, I told her, ‘Why don’t we hug each other, fall down and roll around the mat,
you know, just roll together while we were holding each other.”
“And she was like, ‘No, pick me up and let me wrap my legs around you and celebrate.
And I was like, ‘Oh, you know, this is Triple H’s fiance, wife, whatever she was at that
particular time, but, you know, it was a bit, it was confusing for me because I didn’t
want to get involved with somebody, you know, who obviously had a real boyfriend or husband
in the business and to do this Angle was really new to me and different.
I didn’t want to get anyone angry.
It was a really difficult spot to be in.”
So a big reveal there by Kurt Angle on what was going on behind the scenes for that entire
WWE storyline
Stephanie McMahon just wanted to give the segment everything she had to tell the best
story and get people talking, but Kurt Angle was hesitant to do these sort of angles in
WWE especially when Stephanie’s boyfriend at the time, Triple H, was right backstage
Like Kurt said, he wanted to keep things simple with the Stephanie McMahon storyline because
he didn’t want actual legitimate issues with Triple H backstage and get him heated
in anyway
so it was an interesting reveal there by Kurt Angle on what was going on with this story
and how he wasn’t so sure about the ideas Stephanie was pitching

In other news, we will be seeing Edge’s first ever WWE Smackdown match in well over
11 years this week
During the contract signing for Daniel Bryan vs Roman Reigns, Jey got on the mic and said
that the WWE universal title match at fastlane needs a special enforcer and that he wants
to be the special enforcer for the fastlane match
That led to Edge coming out and agreeing to their idea, but Edge wants to be that special
enforcer too, so that was the set up for Edge vs Jey on Smackdown with the winner going
onto fastlane to the the special enforcer
This match is extremely special because it’s Edge’s first match on Smackdown in 11 years
Last time Edge wrestle on Smackdown was 11 years ago against Drew McIntyre
So it’s a special moment and homecoming for Edge with obviously a lot on the line
with the match
The matchup between Edge and Jey is interesting because we saw Edge and Jey interact earlier
in the night where Edge told Jey to “stop being the lapdog for the big dog” and Jey
told him that Roman was going to take him out at Wrestlemania
So you take that interaction and also add the fact that there’s a lot on the line
with the special enforcer role being up for grabs and you have yourself a huge Smackdown
main event
It would be nice to see more meaningful main event matches like this on Raw and Smackdown
rather than the useless matches or 6 man tag matches we get from time to time
As far as the winner between Edge and Jey goes, it can really be either one of them
Jey can go onto be the special enforcer, which basically just sounds like a fancy way of
saying special guest referee, and he can redeem himself to Roman reigns by screwing Daniel
Bryan out of the title match
We know that Jey and Roman’s relationship is a little shaky again right now, so beating
Edge and helping him again Daniel Bryan should put Jey back in good terms with Roman...
But then again is WWE really going to have the royal rumble winner lose on Smackdown
weeks before Wrestlemania?
Well it’s possible because we just saw it, Bianca Belair was just pinned on Smackdown,
so Edge getting pinned isn’t impossible, but it just feel unlikely
So if Edge becomes the special guest referee, would he call the match down the middle?
It’s safe to assume so, it’s not like he’s going to screw Roman Reigns out of
the title because Edge doesn’t want Daniel Bryan to be the one that dethrones Roman,
Edge wants to be the one that gets that honor, so he won’t flat out help Daniel Bryan
Especially given the last few Smackdown segments where Edge is actually upset with Daniel Bryan
for the way he jumped into the title picture
So maybe Edge won’t mind counting the win at all for Roman because that gets Daniel
Bryan out of the picture and he can focus on Roman again without any distractions
