Bella declares herself the next challenger
Summary
– Nikki Bella told Chelsea Green that she is coming for her championship
– Bella said she does not need a qualifying match because she is a legend
– Green was also informed that she will compete in a Money in the Bank qualifier
Nikki Bella made her intentions clear on the September 18 episode of SmackDown by confronting Chelsea Green and declaring that she wants her championship.
Green was initially celebrating after telling her partner that she had spoken with Nick Aldis and would compete in a Money in the Bank qualifying match.
Bella then interrupted the conversation and referenced Green’s recent appearance on Andy Cohen’s show.
Green reminded Bella to keep her name out of her mouth, but Bella quickly shifted the conversation toward their championship situation.
Bella pointed out that Green had just barely survived her match against Nia Jax. She then said she had seen what happened between Nikki and Paige the previous week.
Bella claimed that she did not need to compete in qualifying matches to earn a championship opportunity. She argued that her status as a legend and icon had already earned her the right to challenge Green.
“I am Nikki Bella and I’m coming after that title,” Bella told Green.
Green acknowledged the threat before calling Bella’s delivery rude. Bella then tried to explain herself, but the confrontation had already made her intentions clear.
Nikki Bella is now targeting Chelsea Green’s championship, while Green is also preparing for her own Money in the Bank qualifying match.
