Nikki Bella breaks silence after AJ Lee returns to WWE; discusses emotional backstage moment

Nikki Bella revealed that she and AJ Lee shared an emotional backstage moment last Monday on WWE RAW. Bella and Lee were bitter rivals during their first stint with the company, and now they're back again at the same time.

After making sporadic appearances since 2018, Nikki made her full-time return to WWE this year. AJ, on the other hand, came back after more than a decade to help her husband CM Punk even the odds against Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch.

Speaking on the latest episode of The Nikki and Brie Show, Nikki Bella shared details about talking to AJ Lee backstage last Monday on RAW. They caught up with each other's lives while also expressing the need to work together again during their second stint with WWE.

"AJ's back, and so she and I were chatting for a bit backstage, and we both were just saying, you know, how crazy it is, but she was like, 'I just love that you're here, why I'm back,' and I'm like, 'No, I'm so happy you're back,' and I'm like, 'We both look so good. Us Latinas.' It was great talking to her," Nikki said.

The Hall of Famer added:

"I actually hope we get a moment because when you think about it, everyone's talking about it on the internet and it is true. I mean, we were so much of each other’s most important stories at that time with the Divas Championship before she had left and even with you and Paige, it was so much about us, and so the fact that we both are there. We have to have a moment." [H/T WrestlingNews.co]

Nikki Bella also suggested having a backstage segment with AJ Lee next Monday on RAW. She wants the interaction for their diehard fans who have supported them throughout their journey.
