Nikki Bella Vs. Natalya Signed For WWE Elimination Chamber 2017
Total Divas... totally at war!
More than a month of bad blood will finally be settled at the Elimination Chamber show, as Smackdown general manager Daniel Bryan announced on Tuesday that Nikki Bella and Natalya would face off in a one-on-one match at the event.
The feud between Bella and Natalya was born out of an earlier feud between the longest-reigning Divas' Champion in history and Carmella. After Bella scored a decisive victory over Carmella at TLC, ending a months-long program between the women, Carmella told Bella that it was her longtime friend Natalya who had attacked her backstage at the Survivor Series, preventing her from captaining the Smackdown women's team as planned. Though Natalya initially denied the accusations, she eventually admitted that she was behind the assault, and that she had always hated Bella.
Since then, the two women have repeatedly come to blows, with Natalya dishing out some very personal insults toward Bella, and the fearless star trying to get her hands on Natalya each week. That led to some backstage brawls between the women, but nothing will be officially settled until Elimination Chamber.
Elimination Chambers airs on the WWE Network on February 12 at 8:00 PM ET.
