Dream Match Alert! WWE Hall of Famer Calls Out Rhea Ripley

Following her return to the ring at the Royal Rumble, WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella has hinted at a potential dream match with current Women’s World Champion, Rhea Ripley. Bella, who last competed three years prior, entered the Women’s Royal Rumble Match as the 30th entrant, and it appears her comeback isn’t a one-off event.

On a recent episode of the “Nikki & Brie Show,” Nikki addressed fan questions about her future in-ring plans. While expressing interest in a match with Chelsea Green, citing Green’s recent comments about the Divas era, Bella also revealed a bigger ambition: a dream match against Rhea Ripley.

“A dream match would be against Rhea,” Nikki stated. “I would love to do that with Brie [Bella]. When I think of my Ronda [Rousey] run for Evolution and those feels, something like that would be so fun to bring in, especially with Brie and the Bella Army.” She emphasized the importance of Brie’s presence, recalling the support she received during her feud with Ronda Rousey. “It wasn’t just about Ronda and I. It was also about Brie at my side and the Bellalution and the Bella Army being behind us.” Nikki sees a match with Ripley as a significant opportunity, acknowledging Rhea’s position as “the face of the women’s division” and her impressive list of accomplishments.

Beyond a singles match with Ripley, Nikki also expressed interest in pursuing the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship with her twin sister Brie. “Obviously, tag titles dangle in my mind,” she admitted. “I would love to face a lot of tag teams in the division with Brie. There are so many amazing women and we’ll see different pairings at different times. There could be something fun there.” She even mentioned a positive interaction with Roxanne Perez, suggesting a potential future storyline.

While Nikki Bella’s return to the ring seems imminent, the timing and specifics of her matches, particularly the dream match with Rhea Ripley, remain to be seen. WrestleTalk will continue to provide updates as they become available.
