Nikki Bella’s appearance for Monday Night Raw at the Barclays Centre in Brooklyn, New York, on August 4 resulted in embarrassment for the WWE wrestler as she was subjected to a reference to the legendary John Cena. The incident saw women’s Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch humiliate Cena’s ex-girlfriend by mentioning his famous “You can’t see him” line inside the ring, amidst loud cheers from a packed crowd in New York.
As the feud unfolded at Raw, Lynch came out to address her triumph at the SummerSlam 2025, where she defeated Lyra Valkyria and defended her Intercontinental Championship belt. The result meant that Lyra could no longer challenge Lynch for the prized silverware as long as she remained champion. For Becky Lynch, however, Raw was an opportunity to express her desire to take on new competitors for the belt she proudly adorned. Just as the champion opened up about eyeing a fresh challenge for the title, Nikki Bella’s music hit the arena.
Bella entered the ring and confronted Lynch, telling her she was proud of all her accomplishments and equally fine handing over the women’s division to her after stepping away. But The Man turned out to be a disappointment and has handcuffed the women’s division. Things took a personal turn when Nikki Bella called Becky Lynch a liar, just like her husband, stating that the only difference is that Seth Rollins’ lies are a little more believable.
In response, Lynch claimed she and Seth are the greatest WWE couple of all time and tried to get under Bella’s skin by sarcastically saying Bella and Cena could’ve held the tag. But the WWE Hall of Famer and her legendary ex-partner are no longer together. “Oh wait, you can’t see him anymore,” Becky Lynch said, while doing the famous Cena move in front of her. As is known, Bella and Cena were in a relationship for several years, parts of which also played out fondly in WWE episodes, before the couple got separated in April 2018, just weeks before their wedding.
Fuming inside, Nikki Bella eventually challenged Becky Lynch for the Intercontinental Championship match. The segment then ended with Lynch punching Nikki in the face, providing a snapshot to fans of what to expect from their fight.
