Overview
- Bella publicly challenged the Indiana Fever guards in a Sports Illustrated interview published Friday, proposing a tag match with her twin Brie against Sophie Cunningham and Caitlin Clark.
- In the interview Bella joked she would use her signature finishing move, saying she would “Rack Attack the s--t out of” Clark, a line that helped the clip go viral.
- Cunningham first expressed interest in wrestling late last year and has said WWE previously reached out to her, which prompted Bella’s on-air response.
- Practical obstacles make a confirmed match uncertain because Nikki Bella is recovering from an ankle issue, Brie is currently active as a tag champion, and the WNBA season runs into September.
- The exchange fits a recent WWE strategy of staging celebrity and athlete crossovers to drive attention and could boost exposure for the WNBA and WWE if it moves beyond promotional banter.
