Nikki Bella On Why She Wants To Work With Rhea Ripley After WWE Evolution

It's entirely possible that Nikki Bella and Rhea Ripley will be on a collision course with one another following Sunday night's Evolution Premium Live Event.

The WWE Hall of Famer will be competing in the Women's Battle Royal and the winner will receive a Women's Title match at Clash in Paris. If Ripley were to defeat IYO SKY at Evolution, then she'd win back the Women's World Championship and potentially be in line for a title defense at that show in August.

Nikki Bella was a guest on Busted Open Radio this past week, and said that a program with Rhea Ripley is one she really hopes comes to fruition during her latest comeback run with WWE. Even teasing a turn to the dark side in order to make it happen.

"I feel like heel Nikki would be so incredible with her. Rhea has layers, but I feel like what my character has, would bring even more layers out of her... stuff that we don’t know yet about Mami and everything she is. She is someone that I always look at and not only do I think we can create a lot of magic in the ring, but I think the storytelling can be so different, fresh, and fun." h/t Fightful

Nikki Bella said the vibe that she gets from a potential storyline with Ripley is very similar to her past rivalry with Saraya, the anti-Diva goth girl known as Paige back in the day.
