Big E discusses the idea of Nikki Bella and AJ Lee facing off once again.
Prior to AJ Lee’s exit from WWE in the wake of WrestleMania 31, AJ had spent the six months or so prior feuding with The Bella Twins alongside Paige, including losing her Divas title to Nikki Bella. Nikki would return to WWE programming on the October 20th edition of WWE Monday Night RAW and now, Big E would like to see Nikki face off with an old rival.
While speaking to the RAW Recap in a new interview, Big E spoke about Nikki’s return and her run so far.
“I really love Nikki’s (Bella) approach, she’s not someone who is just resting on her laurels and what she accomplished and the world championships from years ago, she’s someone who is saying, ‘hey, I know I have not been in the mix for a bit, I’m just now coming back this past year or so, and I wanna see how I match up in these new fresh match-ups. I wanna see how I am in the ring against some of the best women today.’ I think a lot of people would be really excited to see potentially a face-off between her and AJ Lee, but that’s something that we’ve seen before. I love that Nikki is now throwing her name in the ring against the best women of today. We’re gonna get so many fresh match-ups, so many new match-ups. This version of Nikki is hungry, I see someone who is not just saying, ‘hey I was the woman who ran things a decade ago and y’all should bow down to me. No, I want to see how I stack up against this current lineup.’”
Elsewhere in the same appearance, Big E spoke about AJ Styles and Dragon Lee winning the WWE World Tag Team Championships on Monday’s WWE RAW. You can read more about that here.
