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

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.
Could a WWE match jeopardize the careers of basketball superstars Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham?
Is the Bella Twins' challenge a marketing stunt or the dawn of a new sports crossover era?
