Summary
– The Bella Twins named AJ Lee and Paige as their favorite tag team opponents
– Nikki Bella praised the natural chemistry and emotional investment surrounding their rivalry
– Brie Bella said years of connected stories gave their WrestleMania program greater depth
The Bella Twins have named AJ Lee and Paige as their favorite tag team opponents from their years competing together.
Nikki and Brie Bella discussed the rivalry during a new Variety video. Nikki said the four women shared exceptional chemistry, whether they were working singles matches or competing in tag team action.
Their most memorable encounter came at WrestleMania 31, where AJ and Paige defeated the Bellas. The match was also one of AJ’s final appearances during her original WWE run.
Nikki believes the storyline leading into WrestleMania does not receive enough recognition. She recalled strong fan interest in the match and said the rivalry created emotion, investment, and a genuine connection with viewers.
She also emphasized that wrestlers do not automatically develop that level of chemistry with every opponent. The natural flow between the four performers helped their matches and stories feel more compelling.
Brie agreed and said the program benefited from several smaller stories that had developed over the years of working together. Those previous encounters added more depth when the four women eventually met in a major WrestleMania match.
Both sisters credited their opponents for helping create a rivalry that remained memorable long after the match ended.
