EXCLUSIVE: Paige sets the record straight for Nikki Bella: SmackDown highlights, Aug. 14, 2026. | Transcript:

Nikki, since you decided to try and rewrite history last week, let's set the record straight. You said that you single-handedly revitalized my career. Well, last time I checked, I don't remember you being there by my side when I was working tirelessly every single day for eight years just to get back to WWE. Then you said I was leeching off you and your sister. Well, let's go back to the last week of WrestleMania. Did I come begging to be an honorary Bella for my big return after being gone for nearly a decade?

No. You called me. You asked for my help and because I loved Bree and I agreed, I was willing to share that moment with Bree because she needed me. You weren't there though. You blame me for being cheated at the tag titles and losing at SummerSlam, even though I had to save you from getting pinned, not just once, but twice. You act like you're doing this to support your sister, but really, you're just jealous that someone else took your spot, oh, and did it.

You say that you're gonna make whatever career I have left pure misery. Well, good luck keeping up, baby girl, because this is my house and I plan on being here for a very long time. Are we good? Are we done? We're done. Okay.
