#4 Nikki Bella cannot lose to Natalya
It’s no secret that Nikki Bella is rumoured to be retiring soon. The last standing Bella Twin came back from an almost career-ending injury, and it seems like Wrestlemania might be the last time we look at what we cannot touch (I’m sorry.)
If the rumour is true, it would make sense to build her up a little bit before she says goodbye to the WWE Universe. And that starts with Elimination Chamber. Looking to take on Natalya, Nikki doesn’t have too much left to prove. Being the longest reigning Divas champion in history, she has definitely left her mark on the business.
Natalya believes that the mark is more of a stain, however, believing that all of Nikki’s success has come by way of her boyfriend, the current 16-time world champion John Cena. Natalya has begun to take her aggression out on Nikki and since Survivor Series, Nikki and Natalya have been butting heads.
Originally an unknown assailant, Nattie has been taking out her opponent every chance she’s had, verbally assaulting her in the process as well, claiming that she would be nothing without her man and that if she herself wasn’t married to Tyson Kidd, Cena might have ended up with her.
This feud has a real feel to it that is hard to come by nowadays.
Nikki hasn’t been shaken too much, however, as she had a comment for Natalya earlier on that seems to have stuck with the Queen of the Harts. stating that she was the “nothing of the Hart family” has really dug into Natalya’s skin.
This feud has been built about as well as it could have been. There haven’t been many matches between the two over the past few months, which is great. It helps to build that big confrontation when we haven’t seen two wrestlers fight multiple weeks in a row.
And with not much time left before Wrestlemania, this seems to be the blowoff match. Whoever wins this probably ends up with a match that night, while the loser will end up watching from the back.
If that’s the case, and the rumours of Nikki’s retirement are true, Nikki cannot lose this match. There’s really not much left to argue here.
Natalya will be around after the dust settles. Nikki is looking to go out on a high note, a stumble here will make it hard for us to care when she waves to the crowd for the last time.
