Paige has already signaled on social media that she isn’t done with The Bella Twins after they turned on her at WWE SummerSlam Night 1.
SummerSlam 2026 delivered one of its most jarring moments in the aftermath of a six-woman tag. Nikki Bella made her return to the ring in Minneapolis after a three-month absence with an injury, teaming with sister Brie Bella and Paige to take on Fatal Influence — Jacy Jayne, Lainey Reid, and Fallon Henley.
The trio came up short, with Jayne pinning Paige via the Rolling Encore.
What happened next stunned the crowd. Rather than console their teammate, Nikki and Brie turned on Paige, with Nikki delivering a Rack Attack 2.0 and making her intentions clear: no one takes her spot.
Paige Reacts
Paige broke her silence on X and made it clear that she has no intention of letting the betrayal slide. The former Divas Champion-Diva issued a stern warning to The Bella Twins.
That line points directly at the root of the tension. Nikki was originally slated to team with Brie at WrestleMania 42, but her ankle injury forced her out, opening the door for Paige to step in as a replacement. That partnership turned out to be a successful one, with Paige and Brie going on to win the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships together — a title reign now seemingly the trigger for Nikki’s jealousy and the twins’ heel turn.
Adding another layer to the night, Brie appeared to suffer a legitimate right shoulder injury during the match, taking a hard hit from Jayne’s cannonball that drove her into the steel ring steps. She was visibly limited during the post-match attack, and her status going forward remains unclear.
