The Bella Twins are back in a big way as Nikki Bella returned at the 2025 Royal Rumble, and Brie Bella recently returned at the 2026 Royal Rumble. Recently The Bella Twins appeared on Raw and they confirmed that they have their sights set on the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship.
Following the Royal Rumble, Nikki & Brie appeared on Logan Paul’s Impaulsive podcast and Nikki Bella apparently ruffled some feathers on social media when she said that the current WWE women’s division is better than the men’s division.
During a recent episode of SiriusXM’s The Nikki and Brie Show at Radio Row in San Francisco, Nikki Bella talked about the backlash to her comments and also clarified what she meant.
Brie Garcia: “You are very misunderstood and you’re constantly, I don’t even want to say you put your foot in your mouth because you’re a smart ass and you’re a little bit like you’re sassy, but I know you were bummed out because on the Logan Paul show, some of the stuff you were saying kind of went everywhere and you’re like, ‘I was misunderstood.'”
Nikki Garcia: “Well, not even misunderstood. I don’t ever want, I hate when I would like, sometimes I just hate when I see headlines and when it was about like no stars. That is not what, I don’t mean that. We build. We have incredible talent, men and women and people that eventually will carry this place. Hey, there was a time when people didn’t think people who are stars now, they just grow and bloom and all the things, and I guess I just have to get used to this new era of media and headlines and how people take things and interpret, and people look more for the negative in people’s answers, and you know, especially when you’re the one being interviewed, like you say your thing, but it’s not like you have your own show to sit and explain or talk about. You say something and you’re like, ‘Oh shoot, what I meant was like this.'”
Brie Garcia: Tons of people will watch a social clip and feel like they watched the whole entire interview. A lot of people read a headline and not read the article. It’s a very conditioned way people look at their facts and thoughts and all that and then make an opinion, so it’s actually really bad, but I know it was bothering you, so there’s nothing like The Nikki and Brie Show to clear shit up because it’s frustrating.
Nikki Garcia: “Men and women, I mean, I’ll still stand by women are better than men right now, but there’s not even a competition. Our men are incredible at WWE and we see it and you hear the crowds with it and what’s been more fun than ever is to really see the lucha men in the WWE now. I mean, they are some of the favorite men that I love to watch.”
