Nikki Bella vs. Paige: Winner and Reaction from 2015 WWE Money in the Bank

Nikki Bella entered Money in the Bank as one of the longest-reigning Divas champions in WWE history, and her 200-plus-day run with the title is still intact after she defeated Paige Sunday night.

WWE Universe provided one of the highlights of the match, a Paige cannonball:

At one point the Bella twins attempted Twin Magic: 

ProWrestlingMag believed WWE should have given Paige the win:  

After beating Paige and Naomi in a Triple Threat match at Elimination Chamber, Nikki gave the Anti-Diva another shot at the strap on Raw. The British-born star came out on the losing end, though, when Brie Bella dressed like her sister and executed some of the Bella Twins' signature Twin Magic.

Following that defeat, Paige was understandably frustrated and vowed to spearhead change within the Divas division:

The 22-year-old Diva took shots at Nikki and her in-ring credentials. While there is no question the Bellas are crossover stars due to their presence on Total Divas, Nikki took exception to Paige's comments.

She made it clear that dominating the Divas division was her No. 1 priority, and she vowed to defeat Paige once again at Money in the Bank:

Nikki and Paige have done battle plenty of times over the past year, especially as of late in the wake of longtime Divas champion and contender AJ Lee deciding to walk away from the company.

That left the main roster somewhat short on depth, and it is clear WWE views Nikki and Paige as its top two commodities as far as Divas are concerned.

While there is no question that WWE needs to beef up the Divas division in the near future—perhaps in the form of some call-ups from NXT—Nikki and Paige proved their worth once again Sunday night as they worked hard to put on a solid bout.

Nikki is an underrated performer and Paige is among the best all-around women's wrestlers in the world, but there comes a certain time when fans are ready to move on and see some new angles develop.

On the heels of Nikki's win, one can only assume she will move on to a fresh opponent, although it remains to be seen who that could possibly be.

There aren't a ton of options at WWE's disposal aside from the treasure trove of talent in NXT, so perhaps Paige's call for change is truly on the horizon.

It didn't happen in the form of a new champion at Money in the Bank, but the future of the Divas division is still extremely promising due to what has been built in WWE's developmental system.
