WWE: Deepest Condolences to WWE Superstars Nikki and Brie Bella

Brie Bella is currently sidelined following a shoulder injury, while her sister is embroiled in a feud with Paige on WWE SmackDown.

Ahead of this week’s show, Nikki and Brie have reacted to the passing of one of their biggest fans, sharing that both are heartbroken by the news that Manuel Perez has passed away at just 20 years old.

The news was shared on a Bella fan page, which allowed the duo to share their own heartbreaking reactions online.

Brie Bella shared the following message on the post, noting that she was left heartbroken by the news.

“So heartbroken!! Love you Manny and your spirit will continue on with all of us in the Bella Army. We will never forget you 🫶🏽🙏🏼🤍.”

Nikki also commented, making it clear that this had broken her heart before paying tribute to Manny.

“This breaks my heart. What a beautiful soul. ✨ Paint us beautiful sunsets Manny. ❤️ You’ll never be forgotten. RIP my friend. Till we meet again. 🙏🏼 Sending his family so much love and prayers. 💔🙏🏼✨🫶🏼”

Manny was known to be a huge fan of The Bella Twins and had met the duo on several occasions.

Manuel was just 20 years old and was fighting cancer, but he didn’t let that define him, and he became so much more than his struggle. He left a huge impression on The Bella Twins and will be sadly missed as an integral member of The Bella Army.

Brie Bella remains sidelined ahead of tonight’s WWE SmackDown

This is heavy news for The Bella Twins to take into WWE SmackDown, but Nikki Bella is expected to be part of the show and could have her own unique tribute planned for her longtime fan.

Brie Bella remains on the sidelines; her broken scapula injury from SummerSlam appears to be keeping her at home for the next few months, as Nikki and Paige continue the rivalry solo.

Brie is expected to return to become part of the story, since she also turned on Paige last month, but at present she’s unable to be cleared to return.
