Chelsea Green to Defend WWE Title Against Nikki Bella on SmackDown in Two Weeks

October 18, 2026

Could Nikki Bella derail the Crown Jewel plans?

Even though the veteran is already embroiled in a feud with the Englishwoman Paige, Nikki Bella also aims for WWE’s undisputed title, held by Chelsea Green. Each week backstage on SmackDown, the former Divas Champion comes to harass the Canadian. On the day after her defeat to Paige in Sacramento this Friday on the blue show, Brie Bella’s sister spoke out on Instagram, announcing that she would face Chelsea in two weeks, eight days before Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia.

She states :

“Being champion is in my DNA. Paige cheated. I will go to bed as the winner, because I have a WWE Women’s Championship match in two weeks! See you in Charleston, West Virginia, Bella Army! I can’t wait to see those Fearleas Nikki outfits!”

Nikki Bella hasn’t challenged a world champion since December 2025. Do you think the 42-year-old wrestler can beat Chelsea Green in 12 days ?
