WWE sent out the following:
Maria Menounos & Natalya to face Brie Bella & a partner of her choosing at SummerSlam Axxess
Maria Menounos is returning to WWE for a match at SummerSlam Axxess! The “Extra” TV host, who already has a WWE victory at WrestleMania XXVIII, will team with Natalya to take on Brie Bella and a partner of her choosing this Sunday, just prior to WWE’s summer classic.
The match was announced by Raw General Manager Brad Maddox via Twitter, several days after Nikki & Brie began trash talking their “Total Divas” costar, Natalya, and Menounos on Twitter, which prompted the in-ring encounter at SummerSlam Axxess.
Natalya’s invite for Menounos to come to SummerSlam as her guest initiated more mockery on the part of The Bella Twins, which, of course, led to an official challenge of a tag team match. The Bellas’ acceptance didn’t exactly have Natalya shaking in her Louboutins, if the below tweet is to be believed.
The time for talking (and tweeting) is now over, and Brie must find a tag team partner to face Menounos and her friend, former Divas Champion Natalya, at Axxess. Who will step forward to compete alongside the twin Diva? How will the SummerSlam Axxess match affect Natalya and Brie before their one-on-one bout at SummerSlam this Sunday?
