Bella Twins Set Sights On Women’s Tag Team Titles – Brie Bella’s surprise return at the 2026 Royal Rumble was not a one-night appearance, as she and Nikki Bella followed it up with an in-ring segment on the February 2 episode of WWE RAW from Philadelphia.
The Bella Twins received a strong reaction from the crowd, though the response was mixed with both cheers and scattered boos. Nikki Bella quickly addressed the negative reaction, firing back at the Philadelphia crowd by taking a shot at the Eagles and their absence from this year’s Super Bowl. The comment drew an immediate reaction inside the arena and set the tone for the rest of the segment.
Brie Bella then added a lighthearted moment of her own, joking that the crowd was chanting “coop,” a reference to Cooper DeJean. The Eagles player has been linked to Nikki in recent dating rumors, and Brie leaned into the moment by playfully praising her sister’s taste in men.
After the back-and-forth with the crowd, the tone shifted as Nikki and Brie delivered a clear message. Both women praised the current state of the WWE Women’s Division, stating that it is operating at an all-time high level. They acknowledged the depth of talent on the roster and the level of competition across all brands.
Despite that, the Bella Twins made it clear they are not returning simply for nostalgia appearances. Nikki and Brie stated that they want to be active competitors and announced their intention to challenge for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles. The declaration signals that their return is tied directly to championship ambitions rather than a short-term storyline.
No timeline has been announced for when the Bella Twins could receive a title opportunity, but their statement places them firmly in the tag team title picture moving forward. With several established teams currently in the division, their pursuit of the titles opens the door to multiple potential matchups.
With appearances at both the Royal Rumble and RAW now complete, Nikki and Brie Bella appear poised for a more extended run. Their return adds veteran star power to an already deep women’s roster and sets the stage for new rivalries in the weeks ahead.
