Brie gave birth to her second child, a son, Buddy, the day after Nikki gave birth to her first child, also a son, Matteo, in 2020. Nikki agreed with her sister about the title match meaning more now that she’s a mom. She also described looking back on her career alongside Brie, remembering their journey to Tampa, Florida before they signed their WWE contracts.

“We started it together. Our first wrestling match, were weren’t in singles. We were together. We were a tag team,” she said. “Nattie and Alicia Fox, that was our first match ever. I remember all those things and one thing that we never accomplished for being, like you said, a tag team from the womb, but even beyond that in this profession, we never won what actually makes a tag team a champion.”

Nikki said she feels fortunate that her body is in such great shape that she can go back and fight for the gold alongside her sister. She said that when they’re older, they can look back on the match, and hopefully the titles and say, “We did that.”

“Dang. To do it as moms, nothing is better,” Nikki said. “You and I talked about it when the boys were born. I didn’t know if we’d make it. I always said, ‘When the boys are five.’ Remember, I would always say five? When you think about that, I have been manifesting since when the boys were babies… Now, they’re five-and-a-half.”
