Nikki Bella is already calling her shot ahead of next week’s WWE SmackDown. The former Divas Champion is getting a shot at Chelsea Green’s WWE Women’s Championship on October 30, and she doesn’t seem too concerned about losing. In fact, Bella is already telling Green to get ready to hear the words “AND NEW” when their match is over.
Bella sent the message on Twitter after the October 23, 2026 episode of WWE SmackDown, making it clear that she’s expecting to leave next week’s show with Green’s championship.
“So ready for next week! Oh @ImChelseaGreen AND NEW is whatcha gonna be hearing next week 💋 You got that 💅”
Bella’s message came shortly after WWE announced that she would challenge Green for the WWE Women’s Championship on the October 30 edition of SmackDown.
Green is coming off a successful title defense against Roxanne Perez on October 23. That match wasn’t exactly easy, with Raquel Rodriguez interfering and IYO SKY getting involved to even the odds. Green eventually managed to hit UnprettiHER on Perez to retain her championship.
Things got even crazier after the match when Liv Morgan attacked Green, leading to a confrontation involving Rodriguez, Perez, SKY, and Tiffany Stratton. Stratton even attempted to cash in her Money in the Bank contract on Morgan before the Judgment Day managed to get Morgan out of the ring.
Now Green has another problem to deal with, and Bella isn’t being shy about what she wants. The timing is especially important because Green is already scheduled to face Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan at Crown Jewel on November 7. If Bella manages to take the WWE Women’s Championship next Friday, WWE’s plans for that champion-versus-champion match could change. Bella, however, doesn’t appear interested in any of that. She’s focused on becoming champion, and she’s already told Green exactly how she expects their match to end.
Do you think Nikki Bella will back up her words and defeat Chelsea Green for the WWE Women’s Championship next week? Let us know in the comments.
