“Let’s Run It!” Nikki Bella Calls Out NXT Standout After Wild Video Game Brawl
A viral video game simulation might have just planted the seeds for a real-life showdown inside the squared circle. WWE legend Nikki Bella is officially looking to trade pixels for punches, setting her sights on one of NXT’s fastest-rising competitors. The challenge comes after the Hall of Famer caught wind of a hilarious simulation featuring her and the young star, and now she wants to make it official.
The buzz began when content creator Lugeyps3 posted a clip from WWE 2K26. The video showed NXT’s Blake Monroe, a former NXT Women’s North American Champion, watching her digital counterpart get tossed around by Nikki in a chaotic Dumpster Match. Monroe took the simulated loss in stride, laughing at the absurdity of the in-game antics.
But things got real when Nikki herself chimed in.
Reposting the clip to her followers, the former Divas Champion didn’t just get a chuckle out of it—she saw an opportunity. In a caption that cut straight to the point, Nikki tagged Monroe and made it clear she’s interested in stepping between the ropes for a genuine clash. She’s ready to lock up, no controllers required.
For Monroe, this kind of attention is pure gold. While she’s been quietly building a name for herself on the black-and-gold brand, a match with a established veteran like Nikki Bella would be a massive leap forward. It’s the kind of spotlight that can define a career. Nikki, meanwhile, hasn’t been in active competition since her appearance in the 2026 Women’s Royal Rumble, a night that also marked the surprise return of her sister, Brie.
Right now, this matchup is just a fantasy booked inside a video game console. But with Nikki publicly pushing for the fight, the idea suddenly feels a lot more tangible. Fans will now be watching closely to see if this digital dream becomes a must-see reality.
