Nikki Bella Responds to Sophie Cunningham’s WWE Callout

WNBA star Sophie Cunningham may have just stepped into a whole new kind of spotlight—and Nikki Bella is here for it.

After the Indiana Fever guard name-dropped the Bella Twins during a recent interview with bryanna.sports, saying she’d love to either team with or face Nikki and Brie in WWE, Nikki Bella wasted no time stepping up to the plate. The WWE Hall of Famer issued a direct response—and she wants the fight.

Nikki’s exact words? “I’ll take her on one on one… 💋🙌🏼”

That’s not a challenge—it’s a statement. Cunningham, known for her fierce play and fire on the court, joked during the interview that if she ever entered a WWE ring, she’d want a persona that matches her attitude. She described it as “spicy and feisty,” and floated the idea of either joining forces with or going toe-to-toe with the Bella Twins. Her goal? To take some shine for herself.

Now, it looks like she got what she wanted—because Nikki Bella is ready to square up. This back-and-forth has opened the door to a potential WNBA–WWE crossover moment no one saw coming. Sophie’s got the charisma, Nikki’s got the legacy, and fans might be one step closer to seeing these two throw down.
