Brie Bella and Paige express sadness over missed matches in Europe

"

Paige and Brie Bella won the WWE women’s tag team championship in April at WrestleMania 42. They have since defended the belts on TV against the the Irresistible Forces (twice) and the Judgment Day. However, the babyface champs didn’t step in the ring one time on Raw or SmackDown programming during WWE’s European tour that ended earlier this week. On the latest episode of The Nikki & Brie Show, Bella said she and Paige were “so sad” after WWE changed their creative plans at the last minute on last week’s (June 5) SmackDown in Italy. “I obviously started off my trip in Barcelona for Friday Night SmackDown. I will tell you all, Paige and I were very sad not to wrestle in front of you in Spain, or actually be out there. You know, we had a backstage [segment], which was still really good. Fatal Influence, those are some naughty girls…we got a little taste of their medicine. They’re gonna get right back. But I will say, Paige and I were so sad not to be [out in the ring]…Thank you, Spain. Thank you Italy, for being outstanding crows. And then the Friday, the SmackDown after, Paige and I thought we had a match, and then we didn’t. And we were so sad. We were like, can we please walk out to the crowd and cut a promo, and do all that? Which actually, we originally were supposed to be out in the crowd, and do this thing out in the arena. And last minute it got switched. We were so bummed. I was like, how is it that I’m in Europe and I did not once walk out to any of those fabulous high energy crowds?” Do you think it’s strange that WWE couldn’t find any time to put the women’s tag team champions in front of these hot live crowds during six combined hours of SmackDown in Spain and Italy? Let me know in the comments below if you noticed that Paige and Brie Bella wrestled zero matches on WWE’s European tour, Cagesiders.
