The recent back-and-forth between Wade Barrett and Nikki Bella has officially come to an end.

During the WWE Clash in Paris Kickoff show, Barrett referred to Nikki as โ€œdesperate,โ€ a comment that Nikki later addressed on her Nikki & Brie Show podcast. She said she wanted to have a conversation with Barrett after feeling that his remarks crossed a line.

Barrett responded on Twitter/X, initially saying he was happy to talk, and has now provided an update confirming that the two have resolved the issue. โ€œGreat news, fight fans.. @NikkiAndBrie and I have spoken, weโ€™ve smoothed things over, and Iโ€™ve graciously been allowed back into the Bella Army. Fully paid-up member since FCW 2008 ๐Ÿค๐Ÿป๐Ÿท.

A difference of perspective โ€“ to which we are all entitled โ€“ but to be clear, some of the personal abuse that gets sent to Nikki on here is reprehensible and completely out of line, so letโ€™s cut that out immediately.โ€

The exchange appears to be water under the bridge now, with Barrett emphasizing respect and discouraging fans from sending personal abuse toward Nikki.
