“End Me, ”Mami”—Nikki Bella Names Rhea Ripley as the One She Wants to Retire Her in WWE’s Ultimate Farewell
WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella just dropped a bombshell that has fans buzzing about her eventual goodbye — and she didn’t sugarcoat it. When asked who she wants across the ring for her final match, Nikki didn’t pause for a heartbeat before naming Rhea Ripley.
It’s a daring choice, and that’s exactly the point.
Ripley isn’t just another opponent. She’s dominance personified — a modern-day wrecking force whose presence changes the energy of any arena she walks into. For Nikki, that’s what makes the matchup perfect. It’s not about comfort. It’s about going out in the most unforgettable way possible.
A villain’s exit… and one last reckoning
Nikki painted a vivid picture of how she sees her final chapter playing out. In her vision, she’s not the hero. She’s the villain — surrounded by a faction, embracing the boos, wreaking havoc and daring the WWE Universe to hate her one last time.
And then comes the reckoning.
That’s where Rhea Ripley enters the story. The unstoppable powerhouse. The woman who doesn’t flinch. The one capable of ending the chaos and forcing Nikki to face the consequences of everything she’s done. Nikki believes Ripley is the only superstar who can make that moment feel earned, brutal, and emotionally real.
Passing the torch — the hard way
Choosing Ripley says everything about how Nikki views her legacy. This isn’t a nostalgia act or a soft send-off. Ripley represents the present and future of WWE’s women’s division — a star who has raised the bar with intensity, attitude, and raw power.
Nikki doesn’t want the torch gently handed over. She wants it ripped from her grasp in a defining moment that cements Ripley even further as the face of a new era. Story comes first. Impact comes second. And when WWE gets that balance right, magic happens.
No date, no event… but endless speculation
There’s still no official word on when — or where — Nikki Bella’s final match will happen. She remains active, keeps the door open, and continues to fuel speculation with comments like these.
But that hasn’t stopped fans from dreaming big. WrestleMania. Evolution. A historic milestone event waiting to be announced.
One thing is clear: whenever Nikki Bella’s last match does arrive, she wants it to be loud, meaningful, and unforgettable — and she wants Rhea Ripley to be the one who ends it all.
