Caitlin Clark is a multi-sport athlete. She was reportedly a high-profile soccer prospect entering college, but she chose basketball instead. Now, she is one of the biggest names in women’s basketball. She is currently showcasing her skills with the Indiana Fever in the Women's National Basketball Association.
She is also into volleyball and golf. Maybe she can add wrestling to her résumé and grant the wish of a WWE superstar.
Nikki Bella has named Clark as part of her wishlist for a possible in-ring matchup, along with Sophie Cunningham, who previously name-dropped Nikki and her twin sister Brie Bella as potential opponents or teammates.
Cunningham made the remark during a guest appearance on the Bryanna Sports podcast. The host said the Bella Twins were among the best, but the 6-foot-1 Fever guard did not back down.
“Well, I'm hopefully gonna take away their shine one day," she said.
Nikki Bella responded through an Instagram comment, saying she was ready to take on Cunningham one-on-one.

That was in December last year. Five months later, she has raised the stakes and now wants a tag-team match involving the Fever players.
Nikki, who stands at 5-foot-6, wants Clark to join the fray. She is confident she can beat the pair.
The comments were part of a 10-minute interview Bella had with Sports Illustrated on YouTube.
This is not the first time Bella has talked about Clark joining her in the ring. Back in February, she named the two-time All-Star as her dream matchup and proposed a tag-team bout: Nikki and Brie versus Clark and Cunningham.
"So, Sophie and Caitlin versus the Bellas. Book it, Wrestlemania!" she said.
WWE Women's Triple Crown Champion Bianca Belair also teased back in 2024 that Clark might appear in the WWE while talking about the media coverage of women's wrestling. She was impressed by what the Fever superstar brought to women's hoops.
"You might see Caitlin Clark in the 2025 Royal Rumble right here in Indianapolis," Belair said.
