At the Money in the Bank Premium Live Event, it was announced that Nikki Bella would be making an appearance at the following edition of RAW. The fans already saw Bella arriving in the building and having some interactions with the stars of the current division, like Natalya, Maxxine Dupri, and the WWE Women's World Champion, IYO Sky.
In the second hour of the show, The Fearless One came out to the ring to loud pop from her hometown audience. Nikki Bella herself felt enthralled to be back in front of the WWE Universe on live television. She addressed and applauded the current crop of women's division that has been taking the revolution ahead, which Nikki and Brie had been a part of.
In doing so, she namedropped some top women like IYO Sky, Rhea Ripley, and even the new blood on RAW and SmackDown like Roxanne Perez and Giulia.
This led to an angry Liv Morgan storming down to the ring to get in Bella's face. She felt insulted that she was not mentioned in that conversation, as she had been on top for the better part of last year.
Following this, Morgan and Bella took highly personal shots at each other. Morgan even went on to say that she had everything, including a man, while Nikki Bella did not, referencing her divorce from Artem Chigvintsev last year, and called her nothing but a reality show Diva. Bella was leaving the ring, but these comments pushed her to the limit, and she turned back, only to be taken down by an Oblivion. With this altercation and WWE Evolution 2 on the horizon, a program might be developing between the veteran and current top star.
