Nikki Bella

Allies of Convenience

The Bella Twins

Summary

This match leaned more into familiarity and timing than anything overly flashy, and honestly, that worked. Nikki and Brie controlled long stretches with quick tags and double-team offense, while Charlotte and Bliss had their usual moments of control, especially when Charlotte slowed things down with her power game. Bliss added some opportunistic offense, but the Bellas kept things tight and eventually capitalized to get the win. The aftermath was just as busy as the match itself, with outside chaos breaking out and multiple teams getting involved, which kind of overshadowed the finish but also kept the segment feeling active.

Summary

The Bella Twins vs. The Irresistible Forces turned into a chaotic mess, and not entirely in a good way. Nikki Bella spent what felt like forever getting worked over through the break, with Nia Jax and Lash Legend just tossing her around and keeping her grounded. Once Brie Bella finally got the hot tag, things picked up—she came in firing with a missile dropkick and those signature Yes Kicks, even clearing Legend out and forcing Jax to the floor. Nikki followed up with a big crossbody to the outside, and the Bellas actually started to build some real momentum. The champs fired back hard though, planting Nikki with an avalanche Samoan Drop and a Frog Splash, only for Brie to break it up and hit a Bella Buster on Legend. Nikki then locked in the Fearless Lock, and just when it looked like we might get a finish… the referee randomly waved it off after Charlotte Flair interfered to stop Jax from using the title. No contest. A wild sequence with no payoff, which is always a little frustrating.

Summary

The Women’s Royal Rumble match saw 30 superstars compete for a title shot at WrestleMania 42, with the bout packed with surprises, big eliminations, and storyline tensions. Early in the match, partners Charlotte Flair (#1) and Alexa Bliss (#2) started as a unit before rivals hit the ring in waves and the action ramped up. Competitors like Jordynne Grace, Sol Ruca, Rhea Ripley, and Raquel Rodriguez brought major bursts of momentum, while Lash Legend dominated with the most eliminations of the night. After a dramatic final sequence involving Sol Ruca and a returning Tiffany Stratton at #30, Liv Morgan (#14) delivered an ObLIVion on Stratton on the apron to clinch the win and secure her first Women’s Royal Rumble victory — finally earning her WrestleMania title shot.

Summary

This triple threat for the Women’s World Title was a straight‑up competitive war with all three women trying to assert dominance from bell to finish. Nikki Bella brought the veteran savvy, hitting a couple of nearfalls and even locking in a submission on Raquel, but Rodriguez just powered through and looked like a legit threat with a big clothesline and a Tejana Bomb on her opponents. Vaquer played it smart, twice escaping the heavy offense from both challengers, and ultimately turned chaos into gold by rolling up Nikki for the pin after Rodriguez was taken out on the floor. It wasn’t perfect — some bits felt a bit recycled — but Vaquer showed why she’s not just holding the belt, she deserves it
