Nikki Bella Attacks Women’s World Champion, Stephanie Vaquer Again, Chaos Errupts in Women’s Division on Monday Night Raw

Stephanie Vaquer has had a target on her back ever since she became the Women’s World Champion. She defeated Iyo Sky to become the new Women’s World Champion, but with that glory comes the challenges, betrayal, and backstabbing. The same thing has happened to La Primera twice in consecutive weeks on Monday Night Raw.

Stephanie Vaquer’s former ally, Nikki Bella, has turned heel on the champion and attacked her in back-to-back weeks on Raw. Her first attack came after Stephanie Vaquer defeated Raquel Rodriguez to retain her Women’s World Champion. Ironically, she rescued the champions from a post-match attack by Judgment Day initially, and then turned on her after Judgment Day exited the ring.

"Thank you for reminding me who the hell I am."

Nikki Bella blindsided Stephanie Vaquer again tonight when she was entering the arena for an interview with Jackie Redmond. Nikki Bella confronted Stephanie Vaquer and informed her that she came back to WWE to reclaim the women’s division she had built, and definitely not to be her sidekick. She has now challenged the Women’s World Champion for her title.

It is simple to confront an obvious opponent; what is difficult is to confront an opponent who presents themselves as a friend. Stephanie Vaquer found it the hard way when Nikki Bella backstabbed her. Nikki Bella returned to WWE to save Stephanie Vaquer from Judgment Day’s assault. She then faced Roxanne Perez and lost to her.

Stephanie Vaquer and Nikki Bella teamed up against Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez, and Roxanne Perez was again able to pin Nikki Bella. Stephanie Vaquer then faced Raquel Rodriguez and retained her title, only to find herself outnumbered after the match when Judgment Day started an assault on her. Nikki Bella first saved her and then assaulted her to start a rivalry with her.

“Thank you for reminding me who the hell I am.” Nikki Bella’s Message to the Champ

Nikki Bella attacked the champion tonight, and she had a lot to say to Stephanie Vaquer. She told her champ, she is not here to be her sidekick; instead, she is here to reclaim the women’s division she created. She then told her that she will stop at nothing until she gets a Women’s World Championship match. She then sarcastically thanked her for reminding her of her capabilities.
