Nikki and Brie Bella were backstage for last night's AEW Revolution.

One such friend of Nikki and Brie's is Saraya, who took to Twitter to share some photos of the two WWE Hall of Famers with herself, Renee Paquette, and Dustin Rhodes.

Where Saraya is concerned, she came up short at Revolution in her quest to dethrone Jamie Hayter as the AEW Women's Champion. In a triple threat bout also featuring Ruby Soho, Hayter retained the gold after securing the 1-2-3 on Soho with a crucifix pin.

Following several weeks of Ruby Soho having to pick sides between AEW Originals Jamie Hayter and Britt Baker, and 'Outsiders' Saraya and Toni Storm, Revolution saw Ruby turn heel post-match, laying out Hayter and joining forces with Saraya and Storm, before then spray-painting both Jamie and DMD.

As for the Bellas, they were inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame back in 2021 as part of the 2020 HOF class. With there being no 2020 Hall of Fame ceremony due to the global pandemic, the 2021 Hall of Fame saw both the 2020 and 2021 classes inducted.
