The clash between Stephanie Vaquer and Nikki Bella at WWE Survivor Series 2025 had fans glued to their screens — and not just for the outcome, but for the sheer drama inside the ring. This wasn’t just another title defense; it was a showcase of power, strategy, and sheer determination. But here's where it gets controversial — some fans are already debating whether Nikki truly lost to skill, or if a few crucial moments tipped the balance unfairly.
The highly anticipated match for the Women’s World Championship saw reigning champion Stephanie Vaquer step into the ring to defend her title against the relentless Nikki Bella. The tension was clear from the opening bell. Nikki wasted no time making a statement, landing a sneaky cheap shot on Stephanie right at the start. The crowd roared, half in shock and half in excitement. But Stephanie wasn’t one to back down. She countered aggressively, regaining control in seconds.
A few minutes into the match, momentum swung again when Stephanie attempted a daring double knee strike on the ring apron — only to miss. That costly error gave Nikki the upper hand. With her trademark intensity, Nikki pressed the advantage, showing why she remains one of the most dangerous competitors in the division.
As the action heated up, Stephanie hit the SVB in a dramatic comeback, but Nikki stunned everyone by kicking out at two. Determined to finish things off, Stephanie climbed to the top rope for a high-flying corkscrew splash — but Nikki was ready. She struck back, knocking Stephanie off balance and taking control once again. At that point, Nikki executed her signature Rack Attack 2.0, seemingly sealing the victory, but Stephanie managed to get her foot on the bottom rope at the last second. The arena erupted, realizing the match wasn’t over yet.
And then came the turning point. Outside the ring, Stephanie delivered her devastating Devil’s Kiss right on the announce table, leaving Nikki gasping for breath. Dragging her opponent back into the ring, Stephanie hit another Devil’s Kiss, followed by a flawless corkscrew splash from the top rope — this time, it was enough to secure the win and successfully retain her championship.
Stephanie Vaquer proved once again why she’s at the top of the women’s division, combining creativity with precision to outmaneuver one of WWE’s most seasoned veterans. Yet many fans online are debating: Did Nikki Bella deserve a rematch after such a close and heated contest? Or did Stephanie’s mastery simply cement her reign beyond question?
What do you think — was the ending a fair reflection of the fight, or should there be another round between these two powerhouses? Drop your thoughts in the comments and let’s see where the WWE universe stands.
