With Becky Lynch having managed to eek out a win over Lyra Valkyria and walk out of SummerSlam still your WWE Women's Intercontinental Champion, the Man has already found her next challenger - and it's already gotten extremely personal.

This week's Raw saw Becky say how she'll be doing an open challenge for her title, but just that it wouldn't be in Brooklyn last night. That prompted Nikki Bella to come out and confront Lynch, with Bella initially praising Becky and noting how seeing talent like the Irish Lass Kicker was part of the reason that the WWE Hall of Famer felt comfortable stepping away from the company, with Nikki happy to leave the women's division in the hands of stars like Becky Lynch.

The pleasantries didn't last long, of course, as Nikki Bella called Becky a disappointment, and that all she's done is stab people in the back. Bella also questioned whether Becky Lynch's own WWE return was because Hollywood wasn't all it had cracked up to be for Becky. Taking the low-hanging fruit, Lynch hit back by plugging Happy Gilmore 2 - currently streaming on Netflix - and pointing out how not just was Nikki Bella's role cut from the movie, but that Becky had used her sway to influence this decision.

That's when things got a smidge more heated, starting with Bella calling Becky a liar, just like her husband, Seth Rollins. Lynch called herself and Seth the greatest wrestling couple of all time, and then nicely made a John Cena reference, saying, "At one point, that would've been you and your... oh wait, you can't see him anymore" - all as Becky did the classic Cena hand taunt.

Eating it up, the Brooklyn crowd erupted into a "Holy S**t!" chant, which Nikki Bella actually joined in with at one point. To round the segment out, Becky Lynch said how she moved up to the WWE main roster to "combat" Nikki's era, to which Bella challenged Lynch to a match. The response? Becky Lynch started to respond, but punched Nikki in the face mid-sentence and left the ring.

As of this writing, no date has been set for Becky Lynch vs. Nikki Bella, but that is certainly happening at some point in the near future. With WWE Clash in Paris on the horizon on 31 August, it could well be these two go at it in France later this month.
