10 WWE Royal Rumble Betrayals You Didn't See Coming
5. Nikki Bella Eliminates Brie Bella (2018)
Royal Rumble 2018 featured the first ever Women’s Royal Rumble match, which brought out not only the best in the active locker room but also legends. The Bella Twins were blessed with late entrance numbers and lots immediately after one another.
Nikki came in at #27 to a mixture of cheers and “Cena Sucks” chants. She immediately made her mark on the match, attacking Sasha Banks and Natalya, and eliminating Carmella. The women soon targeted Nikki and beat her to the ground. Brie arrived at #28 to make the save, leading the arena in “Yes!” chants. The twins teamed up, before Bayley entered at #29 and bested them. They also failed to double team #30 Trish Stratus, being taken out with a double Stratusfaction. Nevertheless, the twins eliminated Banks and made it to the final three with Asuka.
Asuka sent Brie over the top rope but she held on. Rather than offer her sister a helping hand, Nikki sent her from the apron to the floor with a right hook. Many would argue that Nikki’s “I wish you’d died in the womb” comment beats this spot as the sisters’ real rock bottom. They'd be right.
