The Bella Twins are headed to WWE WrestleMania 42. This week’s WWE Raw announced that Nikki and Brie Bella’s previously confirmed Women’s Tag Team Championship match has been expanded into a Fatal 4-Way, with Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss, Bayley, and Lyra Valkyria added to the match alongside current champions Nia Jax and Lash Legend. The match takes place at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on April 18 and 19.
Nikki Bella reacted to the announcement on Instagram, addressing each team in the match and framing the opportunity as something larger than a title shot.
“The Bella Twins aren’t just returning — they’re reclaiming their throne,” Nikki wrote. “Trailblazers of this division, built for the spotlight, and ready to prove that legends don’t fade — they rise.”
Bella Twins’ Return To WWE
She described champions Nia Jax and Lash Legend as an unstoppable presence ready to dominate anything standing in their way, called Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss fearless and relentless competitors who thrive in chaos, and referred to Bayley and Lyra Valkyria as the X-factor in the match, citing their heart and hunger to shock the world.
The Bella Twins played a significant role in establishing the women’s tag team division during their earlier run with the company. However, they’ve yet to hold tag team gold.
Nikki and Brie signed two-year contracts with WWE beginning at the 2026 Royal Rumble and have stated publicly that this will be their final run before retirement.
Winning the Women’s Tag Team Championship has been one of their stated goals for this run, and a WrestleMania setting gives that pursuit its highest-profile stage yet.
Fatal 4-Way Championship Match
The Fatal 4-Way format adds unpredictability to what was already a noteworthy match. With four teams in the mix — including two Hall of Famers, two former champions in Flair and Bliss, and an established team in Bayley and Valkyria — the Bellas will need to navigate a field as competitive as any they have faced during this return run.
