Nikki Bella returns to the ring after injury and joins Brie Bella and Paige against Jacy Jayne’s faction at SummerSlam, WWE said.
- On Friday, WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella returned to SmackDown to save Brie Bella and Paige from an attack by Fatal Influence, issuing a challenge for a six-woman tag team match at SummerSlam.
- Nikki fractured, tore and sprained her ankle ahead of WrestleMania 42, forcing her to miss an opportunity to win the women's tag titles with her sister Brie and Paige.
- Brie and Paige held the women's tag titles until earlier this month at Saturday Night's Main Event, where Lainey Reid and Fallon Henley won following interference from Jacy Jayne at Madison Square Garden.
- The six-woman tag team match is officially set for SummerSlam next weekend in Minneapolis, Minnesota, after Nikki solidified the bout by dropping Jacy Jayne with a Rack Attack 2.0.
- Fatal Influence held the women's tag titles for 91 days before losing them, and the matchup adds another layer to a stacked SummerSlam card in Minneapolis.
