Brie Bella & Paige Were Supposed To Have Segment In Front Of Fans On 6/5 WWE SmackDown: “Last Minute, It Got Switched”

Brie Bella and Paige’s segment got switched around at the last minute.

After Jacy Jayne was not victorious in her Queen of the Ring tournament match on the 6/5 WWE SmackDown, she and her groupmates in Fatal Influence (Fallon Henley & Lainey Reid) ran into the Women’s Tag Team Champions Brie Bella and Paige.

Fatal Influence ended up attacking the champions, and then Reid and Henley picked up the title belts.

On the newest episode of The Nikki & Brie Show, Brie revealed that she and Paige were supposed to appear in front of the audience in Italy.

The following quotes were sent to Fightful:

Brie: “So, okay, so first I’m gonna start off with the wrestling part, and then I’ll get into what I did in between the shows. But you know, I obviously started off my trip in Barcelona for Friday Night SmackDown. I will tell you all, Paige and I were very sad not to wrestle in front of you in Spain, or actually be out there. You know, we had a backstage, which was still really good. Fatal Influence, those are some naughty girls, but you know. We’re gonna have our, you know, we get them now, so we got a little taste of their medicine, they’re gonna get it right back. But I will say, Paige and I were so sad not to be out in Italy. 

Nikki: “Well, those crowds are so amazing.”

Brie: “So amazing, I mean, they’re not quiet for one second. They’re loud and just like, they play into the stories. They’re just so great. And you know, I know we’ve talked about this before on the podcast, but it does something to the wrestlers. It adds to their energy. Do you know what I mean? And so thank you, Spain. Thank you, Italy, for being outstanding crowds. And then the Friday, the SmackDown after, Paige and I thought we had a match, and then we didn’t, and we were so sad. We were like, “Can we please walk out to the crowd and cut a promo and do all that,” which actually we originally were supposed to be out in the crowd and do this thing out in the arena. And last minute it got switched. We were so bummed. I was like, “How is it that I’m in Europe and I did not once walk out to any of those fabulous, high-energy crowds?”

Paige returned to WWE at WrestleMania 42 to fill in for the injured Nikki Bella in the Women’s Tag Team Title four-way match. She and Brie have been champions since winning the titles at the event.
