Roxanne Perez has publicly responded to Nikki Bella via social media following a name-drop during the WWE Hall of Famer’s turbulent return on the June 9 episode of WWE RAW.
The interaction stemmed from a heated in-ring confrontation between Bella and Liv Morgan. Bella, making her first appearance on the red brand since the 2025 Royal Rumble, was in her hometown of Phoenix to discuss the upcoming all-women’s premium live event, Evolution 2. After she omitted Morgan from a list of top female talent, Morgan interrupted, leading to a tense exchange.
Morgan taunted Bella about her recent divorce, stating, “I have everything you don’t. I have respect, I have a championship and I have a man.” In response, Bella questioned the loyalty of Morgan’s on-screen partner, Dominik Mysterio, by referencing his involvement with Perez.

As the confrontation escalated, Bella instructed Morgan to congratulate Perez on her behalf for winning her Queen of the Ring qualifying match earlier in the night. The war of words concluded when Morgan attacked Bella, laying her out with the Ob-LIV-ion.
Following the broadcast, Perez took to her X/Twitter account to address the congratulatory message she never directly received.
“Thanks for the congrats, didn’t need it though @NikkiAndBrie 👑🥰 #QueenRox,” Perez wrote.

The on-screen altercation is reportedly the foundation for a significant storyline heading into the Evolution 2 premium live event on July 13, where a singles match between Bella and Morgan is anticipated. There is also speculation that the feud could expand to include Brie Bella for a potential Bella Twins challenge against Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship.
Confirming her readiness for a return to action, it was revealed by Natalya that Nikki has been privately training with her and Tyson Kidd for the past two months. Bella has since announced on social media that she will appear on the next episode of WWE RAW in Green Bay to continue the storyline with Morgan.
