With the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view event one week from Sunday, let’s go back to a sibling rivalry from 2014 for Free Match Friday. As a result of Nikki Bella’s betrayal of her sister Brie at SummerSlam, the two started a brief rivalry.
The stipulation of this match included the loser becoming the other personal assistant for 30-days. If the loser of the match refused to do this then they would be “fired” from WWE. Their feud could have arguably been much more, but this was the culmination of what we received.
Go ahead and re-watch this moment in the video shown above. You can also catch Total Bellas Season 6 that will air on Nov. 12.
Check in with Diva Dirt next Friday for another Free Match Friday.

DS Shin and Paloma Starr of Ring The Belle discuss on their show this week the possibility of Evolution 2 still being talked about.
As the year continues to fly by there is less and less chance that a second annual all women’s pay-per-view is going to happen. For at least this year. It was announced last year in July and took place in October. July has come and gone, but there is still a slight chance it could still happen in October.
WWE has their Hell in the Cell event scheduled for Oct. 6 and then Survivor Series on Nov. 24. In the middle is Crown Jewel on Oct. 31. As we all know, women are not permitted during the Saudi Arabia event so there will be a large seven-week gap between events that the women will not be featured.
From an anonymous source to Tom Colohue via Sportskeeda the following was said about a potential Evolution 2.
“Talks never really ended but they were always brief. Some people were fiercely for it but the logistics didn’t iron out. Things are looking very different now. People higher up are starting to listen.”
DS and Paloma speak on rumors why originally Evolution wouldn’t happen again this year. Many people were saying that big names such as Ronda Rousey and The Bella Twins being out hindered the chance. Charlotte Flair vs. Becky Lynch was a fan favorite over Rousey vs. Nikki Bella so that opinion could be argued. Now with Sasha Banks back in the fold and Trish Stratus vs. Charlotte Flair being a hit from SummerSlam, it is turning some heads.

Possibilities for Evolution 2 could be Brie Bella and Lita receiving retirement matches just as Trish just did. The thing with Lita is that the retirement match she had didn’t pan out so well for her. She came out on the losing end against Mickie James. That match took place at Survivor Series and Lita lost her title.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, Trish won her original retirement match against Lita where she became a seven-time champion. Of course, both Hall of Famers have had a few matches since those retirement matches but maybe Lita winning her “final” retirement match could make everything come full circle.

DS and Paloma discuss potential opponents for both Brie and Lita. For Brie such names as Ember Moon, Asuka, Liv Morgan, Alicia Fox or even Maryse. For Lita big names such as Becky Lynch and Asuka were discussed.
Would you be interested to see Brie Bella and Lita get retirement matches as Trish had? Do you think what Lita has already done is enough or does she need some retribution to go out on top? Discuss your thoughts in the comment section below.

On last night’s episode of Total Bellas, which was filmed back in October, Brie Bella announced she planned to officially retire from in-ring competition. Her and husband Daniel Bryan plan to move back to Phoenix to focus on expanding their family.
Transcription of quotes from the episode are provided by Fightful.
“So I decided after Evolution, I’m gonna be fully retired,” Brie states in the episode. “Fully done, and that Bryan and I are looking for a house in Phoenix, because we’re moving back.”
This comes as no big surprise, since Bella has been talking about retirement for some time. Brie had semi-retired a couple of years ago, so she could have a baby, and last year, she made a comeback to the ring. During her comeback, she was able to team back up with her sister Nikki, and also work a storyline with her husband against Miz and Maryse.
The comeback wasn’t as smooth as she had hoped for. Bella had a decent amount of ring rust and accidentally concussed Liv Morgan during a match on Raw. The backlash on social media took a huge toll on Brie, and she openly-admitted on another episode of Total Bellas that she later sunk into a depression. This probably had a hand in leading Bella to the ultimate decision: it was time to hang up the boots.
Nikki Bella gave her thoughts about her sister’s announcement during the episode.
“I’m a bit shocked right now hearing Brie say that she’s going to retire and move to Phoenix. Like, talk about dropping two huge bombs. I guess retirement, I always thought that’d be something Brie and I would talk about together. I just did not expect this big change after such an incredible comeback.”
