Becky Lynch and Nikki Bella are presently having a feud over the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship, and this feud has had some really controversial moments during the build up process. During one of the earliest promo segments between the two, Becky mentioned John Cena, who is Nikki's ex-boyfriend.

Nikki Bella also became personal on a number of times during this buildup. The fans discussed whether all of these moments were scripted or maybe they actually had some unscripted moments. The feud ultimately resulted in a championship match between the two at Clash in Paris.

Former champion thinks the rivalry between Becky Lynch and Nikki Bella is personal

Former World Champion Natalya Neidhart recently talked about this feud and shared praise for it. The build up of this rivalry became so intense that even Natalya was confused whether Becky Lynch and Nikki Bella had real life beef. Recently, she spoke on the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, where she explained the following;

The rivalry between Becky Lynch and Nikki Bella started after SummerSlam

“Their segment, from what I understand, was one of the most viewed segments on the show and that’s because I do believe there’s real tension between the two of them. I think with Nikki, she’s in a place in her life where she’s been scrutinized, she’s been criticized, she’s been through the wringer up and down and back again. That’s the thing, part of being famous is, oh, leave us alone, don’t critique us because we’re famous.

"That’s the thing — when you’re in the spotlight, especially when you start to become more famous, you get more critique. My thing is — there’s people I like, there’s people I don’t like. I think with Nikki, she’s using all of it, every hardship that she’s been through, every breakup that she’s been through, everything that’s been challenging for her in her life, she’s channeling it in this feud and I love it.

Becky defended the Championship against Nikki Bella at Clash in Paris

"She has never — since I’ve known Nikki from day one, she has never ever been a victim, she’s always been a survivor. That’s the thing that Becky doesn’t realize is that Nikki has been a survivor of so many things that she doesn’t even talk about. Things that I know that, because I’m close friend of hers, she’s channeling all of that into this feud.”

Becky Lynch won the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship at the Money in the Bank event by defeating the previous champion Lyra Valkyria. Her present feud with Nikki Bella started after she defeated Valkyria multiple times to retain the Championship. No doubt it is one of the most exciting feuds for the mentioned Championship as of now.
