#5. We hope isn't true: Bellas being the reason why Sasha Banks & Bayley dropped the tag team titles at WrestleMania 35

A premature ending

Everyone was frustrated when Sasha Banks and Bayley dropped the WWE Women's Tag Team titles after holding them for less than two months as the inaugural champions. It was believed that they were the right ones to establish the titles and instead, the IIconics won the titles at WrestleMania 35, much to people's shock.

Nikki Bella revealed on The Bella Twins Podcast that the plan was initially for the twins to return to WWE programming and feud with The IIconics. She said:

“Brie and I, we were gonna come back and fight for the tag titles after WrestleMania and we were gonna go against The IIconics for a few months,” Nikki said. “Deep down inside, I kept having this weird feeling that I needed to get an x-ray on my neck because for a while I wasn’t feeling okay. Brie knows that in December after Evolution, I just kept telling her that I feel off and my head doesn’t feel right…”

Nikki Bella earlier confirmed that she won't be returning to the ring ever again and that she can't physically compete in the ring anymore. While we do feel sad for her, it's perhaps for the best. We hope that Banks & Bayley's title reign wasn't wasted for a feud that WWE knew had a slim chance of happening.
