We have reported it earlier about how WWE is utilizing Bella Twins on WWE Raw from Summerslam onwards. It’s certain that they bring huge attention alongside them while appearing on the show. Furthermore, colossal planning is waiting for them regarding the Evolution PPV event. The creative will use them in the main event capacity.
In the meantime, Nikki Bella returned to singles competition on WWE Raw after more than three years. She used to be the face of the division before the neck injury sidelined from all the picture. We saw her coming back on Smackdown Live in 2016. But she did not come back on the flagship until Summerslam 2018 passed by. The crowd appreciated the fact that the officials included Nikki Bella on last night’s match card.
The longest reigning Divas Champion in the WWE took against the leader of Riott Squad on WWE Raw. Last week, the Bella Twins took out the Riott Squad in a doubles contest. So it was a continuation of the storyline between them. It would culminate a tag team action at Super Show Down also featuring Ronda Rousey.
As for last night, Nikki Bella received a huge reception while returning to a singles contest. Ruby Riott applied the headlock on her to start the match. But Nikki went for an early two count after putting her opponent down. The crowd began firing up Nikki Bella taking her name. Riott went for the headlock but Nikki over-powered her. She hit a shoulder tackle to get one count.
Bella went for some more shoulder thrusts, but Riott decided to side-step. But she ate a right hand from Nikki Bella to go outside the ring for a breather. Riott took control of the matchup locking in the neck vice. Bella tried to come back, but Riott kneed her into the face. She talked trash to Brie Bella standing at the outside.
It allowed Nikki Bella to give a spinebuster on Riott to take the control back in the match on WWE Raw. She came with running clotheslines and dropkicks to get going. After that, she hit a springboard dropkick off the top rope for a near fall. Liv Morgan tried to distract Nikki from outside. But Brie came in aid for her sister by neutralising her.
It allowed Nikki Bella to deliver the Rack Attack 2.0 on Ruby Riott to pick up the win. It marked the single win for the former champion after coming back onboard. It might slightly take her back into the championship picture on WWE Raw. The speculations suggest she will challenge Ronda Rousey at Evolution for the title. It looks like the officials have started preparations for it giving Nikki some back to back wins.
