The Bella Twins reunion in the works? WWE women's tag titles could be the goal
Nikki Bella
's return to Monday Night RAW might have hinted at her reunion with sister, Brie, for a spectacular run.
The Bella Twins have been true trailblazers of the Women's Revolution. Nikki and Brie Bella are an important of the movement that led to the current generation getting significant opportunities in
WWE
and reaching unprecedented heights.
The WWE Universe recently saw the return of Nikki Bella on Monday Night RAW. Following the events that went down, there is a possibility that Brie Bella might join her soon, and the duo might go after the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships.
Nikki Bella was confronted by a top champion upon her return to WWE RAW
It was announced at the Money in the Bank 2025 PLE that Nikki Bella would be making her return on the following edition of WWE RAW. The Fearless One's comeback was met with a loud pop from her hometown fans in Phoenix, Arizona, who were thrilled to see her on the red brand.
She briefly spoke about the upcoming WWE Evolution 2 PLE, the same event she main evented in 2018, and applauded many top names in the current women's division.
Upon hearing that, the current one-half of the WWE Women's Tag Team Champion, Liv Morgan, confronted her. She did not take too kindly to the fact that Bella did not mention her name. The duo had an intense and personal exchange of words, and the ending saw Morgan planting Bella with an Oblivion to the mat.
With Nikki Bella making her return and mentioning WWE Evolution, it can be expected that she will compete at the event. However, her altercation with Liv Morgan might have hinted that she will not be alone. The next few weeks could see Nikki outnumbered by Morgan and her partner, Raquel Rodriguez. This could lead to the return of her sister, Brie Bella, to even the odds. With the Bella Twins reunited, they could challenge Morgan and Rodriguez for the Women's tag team titles, possibly at Evolution 2.
In the past, the Bella Twins have spoken about a possible run as the Tag Team Champions. With one Bella back and having an interaction with one-half of the current champion, this is looking to be the direction for the Women's tag team division moving forward.

What Ekta Kapoor could learn from the longest running soap opera: It has more stars than Hum Saath Saath Hai, a bigger budget than Dharma
I mean, you could call it a marketing ploy, an injustice to the idea of 'sports entertainment', and something completely against the very grain of what the company stands for. But WWE Unreal is a product of a company realising it's not 1975 anymore. People aren't just interested in Sholay, but in how it was made, and they don't just want a peek; they want the whole nine yards, and for all its 'faults', WWE's new documentary series Unreal gives the people exactly what they want. For almost 75 years, WWE has been at the peak of the sports entertainment world. Born as Capitol Wrestling Corporation, the company changed its name to WWF (World Wrestling Federation) in the early 1960s. The idea was simple: think of any soap opera on television; it has a protagonist, maybe 2, and a wide and varied supporting cast that get their time under the spotlight one by one. You have episodes coming out weekly, twice a month or monthly, and you have several different seasons. Now scale that same idea to 110%, with around 30-50 characters going through 10-15 storylines twice a week. Just like TV shows have Christmas specials, or Diwali specials for that matter, WWE has big pay-per-view events such as Summerslam, TLC, Royal Rumble, and their Super Bowl season finale, Wrestlemania. The season goes on the entire year (imagine Salman Khan taking his jacket off in Big Boss for 365 days), and the gruelling part of the business comes to light when you realise that the new season begins the very next day of the season finale. No breaks, no time-outs. It doesn't matter if you got thrown out of the ring by a 7-foot-tall man last night, or the script required you to get hit by a steel chair right on your head. When Monday Night Raw starts right after Wrestlemania, you show up. This ever-evolving process of travelling the entire country (sometimes the world for foreign events), putting your body through enormous amounts of pain and suffering, while showing your face during every press tour, merch signing, and interview, is one of the most difficult jobs in the world, and it proves that wrestling isn't fake; it's rehearsed beauty. ALSO READ: 'Well done': Indian father-son duo recreates The Undertaker's iconic entrance at home, WWE star reacts From the get-go, you notice that the documentary isn't trying to give a history lesson (like Mr McMahon); they throw you right into the mix of things, and the biggest employees, like John Cena, CM Punk and Rhea Ripley, give the fans insight into what their position is in the company right now. The off-camera persona of these stars isn't exactly the polar opposite of their actual personalities. The in-ring characters they are playing are products of a hidden and trodden part of themselves, something Rhea talks about and says, 'I like to say that it is the side of me that would get arrested in everyday life. It's all the sides that I don't like to show in my actual life.' For the longest time, WWE superstars were supposed to carry their characters with them everywhere they went, whether it was random guest spots at SNL, fan interactions, or talk shows. I mean, Ted DiBiase (Million Dollar Man), who was a heel, once offered a kid from the audience $500 if he managed to dribble a basketball 10 times. Just as the 6-year-old kid got to dribble number 9, he kicked the ball. He would have loved actors like Irrfan Khan, because that is true dedication to your role. This loyalty to one's in-ring persona slowly changed, and wrestlers started to act like normal human beings during interviews. Now Unreal has completely broken 'kayfabe' (the story that is being portrayed on the screen); you see superstars hugging and congratulating each other minutes after beating each other to an inch from death. You see the spots (positions or moves you are supposed to carry out in the ring) being planned, stories being meticulously broken down before being green-lit, and you see how all segments, matches, and camera angles are part of an orchestra, and the CCO, Triple H, is the conductor. Sure, the German Philharmonic doesn't necessarily break tables and chairs (even though a true classical music fan might be moved to), but watching Hunter (Triple-H) dictate every move, every shot, and every decision tells you exactly the amount of skill it requires to perform live in front of a packed-out stadium. Mind you, WWE fans are some of the most cynical people on the planet, so if a punch doesn't connect properly, or a signature move gets botched, they will notice it, and they will create a Reddit thread about it. ALSO READ: Hulk Hogan secretly battled blood cancer before his death; official cause of death confirmed as acute myocardial infarction: Report The documentary then explains one of the most important aspects of WWE as a company, the Gorilla Position, named after a very famous wrestler from the yesteryears, Gorilla Monsoon. This is the room which serves as the backstage and kind of a PCR throughout the show. The explanation given in the documentary is less technical and more philosophical, as it gives the fans an insight into the room that controls the fate of the show and all the superstars in it. Netflix bends the 'drive to survive' format just the right amount while focusing on the psyche of everyone involved with the production of the show. You see a massive team of employees create this huge spectacle, only to tear it down at the end of the show. It works like the modern-day circus, and instead of animals being tortured, you see grown-ups jump through literal fire, metal and concrete, which justifies the exorbitant amount of money they make (it really does), and the huge pay cheque is just one of the similarities between Bollywood and WWE. Tell me if any of this seems similar: the current champion (top guy) is the son of one of the legends of the game, one of the greatest female talents of this generation is the daughter of another veteran, and the greatest wrestler of this generation is a complete outsider. I get that this could be anyone else, but Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Shah Rukh Khan having similar career stories as Cody Rhodes, Charlotte Flair and John Cena is just something too fun to not mention. As Unreal tells the story of some other outsiders trying to make a name for themselves and nepo-kids trying to find relevance, they move on to breaking down the most important story that came from WWE this year. Cena announced last year that 2025 was going to be his final year with the company, a decision that sank hearts across the world. The company and Cena both agreed on a farewell tour, during which Cena would face some marquee superstars with whom he has feuded during his illustrious career. This was a great plan, but everyone wondered whether, during the tour, Cena was going to become the 'never seen 17' time world champion or not. They had to make sure Cena wins the championship without making his run to the title too predictable. Here is where Unreal shines the most; in the hands of arguably WWE's greatest star, the documentary suddenly shifts into a new gear and tells the story of one of the greatest heel turns of all time. Whoever edited the Royal Rumble footage for this documentary deserves a raise, and a very big one. The camera focuses on key eliminations throughout the match, but the footage cuts in such a way that you feel like it was all happening at once. In one frame Cena could be eliminating someone in the left corner, while in the next frame he could be fighting for his survival near the top-right turnbuckle. It was cohesive, it was quick and it was the most efficient way of portraying WWE's most chaotic event. The heel turn of John Cena seems so much more impressive when you realise that Hunter and The Rock decided to keep the news from everyone, including the ring announcers and commentators. You can't let information like Darth Vader being Luke Skywalker's father out or leak the fact that Nandini's son, who was kidnapped in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, was actually being raised by Parvati from Kahaani Ghar Ghar Ki (Ekta Kapoor had a multiverse before the MCU). The shock on every kid's face was genuine, and the commentator Michael Cole truly felt helpless for a few moments, as he saw the kid who grew into a superstar right in front of his eyes go against everything he stood for. While Unreal doesn't get all of it right, it makes a valid attempt at being honest with the audience. The superstars are stripped of their characters, entrance music and costumes; it's just them, laying it bare for the world to judge the legitimacy of this job. As you get to the last episode, you can't help but feel a bit tired. You are hit with so much information that you just want to take a break. At that point you truly realise the relentless nature of this business, as the director shows Hunter with the script of Monday Night Raw just as Wrestlemania 41 ends. It's an orchestra, it's a circus, it's a performance, it's a spectacle, and Unreal does its best to show what all goes on behind the curtain and why the show must go on.

Austin Theory has not been released from WWE's internal active roster. Here's why he is missing
Austin Theory's absence from WWE programming may last longer than fans anticipated. PWInsider's Mike Johnson first reported that the 28-year-old has been removed from WWE's internal list of active talent. He last wrestled on the July 14 edition of Main Event, where he lost to El Grande Americano. Austin Theory is facing injury concerns and will likely miss time(X) Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select later clarified that Theory isn't entirely off the roster but has instead been moved to the internal injury list, alongside names like Zoey Stark and Ilja Dragunov. Though Grayson Waller mentioned Theory's injury during a recent episode of Raw, WWE has yet to share specific details regarding his condition or a timeline for return. Speculation suggests Theory could undergo a character refresh before making his next on-screen appearance. Read More: John Cena opens up on hair transplant, admits it 'completely changed' his life A-Town Down's future? Theory and Waller formed the duo A-Town Down Under after Waller was drafted to SmackDown in April 2023. The team's biggest moment came at WrestleMania XL, where they won the WWE Tag Team Championships in a Six-Pack Ladder Match. However, their reign ended 90 days later when they lost the titles to #DIY. The duo's momentum faded further after they were quietly moved to Raw in January. The team never found its footing on the red brand and disbanded following Theory's injury. Waller has since transitioned into a new storyline with The New Day, signaling the official end of their partnership. Reacting to the reports, one fan tweeted: 'Seriously, where is bro? I hope I'm wrong, but I wouldn't be surprised if they released Austin Theory by the end of the year 😭' 'I seriously doubt Austin Theory will be released. He is the future face of WWE. Probably just injury related. At least, we can hope,' another one added on X, platform formerly known as Twitter.
