Nikki Bella Drops a Bold Take: WWE Women’s Division Has Officially Overtaken the Men in 2026
Nikki Bella isn’t mincing words when it comes to the state of WWE in 2026 — and her latest comments are already turning heads across the wrestling world.
Appearing alongside her sister Brie Bella on Impaulsive with Logan Paul, the WWE Hall of Famer delivered a strong vote of confidence in today’s women’s roster, claiming it has not only evolved, but surpassed the men’s division overall.
According to Nikki, the current era represents the peak of women’s wrestling in WWE.
“The women’s division right now is unbelievable,” Nikki said. “No disrespect, but I honestly think the women’s division is better than the men’s division as a whole. For women, this is the best it has ever been.”
Nikki pointed to the level of athleticism, consistency, and opportunities now being given to female talent as the biggest reasons behind the shift. In her view, the division is no longer catching up — it’s setting the standard.
Brie Bella didn’t just agree — she admitted the current landscape has reignited something she thought was long gone.
Brie revealed that watching today’s women compete is what sparked her recent desire to return to the ring.
“What gave me the itch to come back was seeing the opportunities the women have now and how insanely talented they are,” Brie said. “Even just watching as a fan, it’s been so much fun.”
The Bella Twins played a major role in WWE’s Women’s Evolution, but their latest comments suggest the division has entered an entirely new phase. From Rhea Ripley’s dominance on Raw to Tiffany Stratton’s rapid rise and the deep talent pool developing in NXT, the women’s roster continues to command attention on every brand.
If Nikki Bella is right, the debate may already be over—WWE’s women aren’t just keeping pace anymore. They’re leading the company forward.
