Ahead of tonight’s Extreme Rules, we’re taking a look back at memorable moments from the history of the Pay-Per-View.
Today, we’re going back to 2012, when Nikki Bella defended her newly won Divas Championship against Layla.
Nikki had been originally scheduled to face the woman she won the belt from: Beth Phoenix. However, as Beth was not medically cleared, Eve Torres replaced her with a surprise challenger: Layla. Nikki’s six day title reign came to an end in this match, Layla winning the match after twin magic backfired and Brie fell victim to the Layout.
The Bellas would end this stretch of their WWE career the very next night, being fired by Eve.
Watch the match below:
What are your memories of this moment?
