Nikki Bella Challenges Caitlin Clark, Sophie Cunningham to 2-on-2 WWE Match

7 articles · Updated · Fox News · May 23
  • Nikki Bella said she wants a tag-team match against WNBA players Sophie Cunningham and Caitlin Clark, proposing that twin sister Brie Bella join her in the ring.
  • The challenge followed Cunningham's comments late last year that she wanted to face Bella, with Bella telling Sports Illustrated, "She started it; we'll finish it."
  • Clark's star power has already drawn crossover interest beyond basketball — she is set to serve as grand marshal for this year's Indianapolis 500 — making a WWE appearance an obvious promotional target.
  • Bella's callout also comes after she missed a WrestleMania match last month; Paige replaced her, teamed with Brie Bella, and the pair won the WWE Women's Tag Team titles.
