Nikki Bella
Is this a one off or she here to stay? Well, keep tuning in. This is the Nicki and Bri show. All right, everyone, welcome back to another episode of the Nicki and Brie Show. And you all saw me as number 30 at the Royal Rumble on Netflix this past weekend. So you know what? We are going to make this a fearless Nicki episode. So since the last episode was a Bree solo, I know you all are craving a Nicki solo. So here we go. Go. All of your social interaction and interaction in Indianapolis, at the airports, in the live crowd has been so incredible. So I thought I would take over the Nikki and Bree show today solely to, of course, talk about my return to the WWE ring this past Saturday at the Royal Rumble. Oh, my goodness. Where do we begin? Of course, we do have a ton of voicemails. Thank you all for calling in. They all have been so incredible. So we picked around 9 to 10 to see what we could get to today. So we're definitely going to get to those voicemails in a bit. I always love hearing your voice. Let's just, let's talk about being Nikki Bella again. I mean, you know what's so funny about the rumbles because this is my third one. And I have to say, what's crazy is sometimes these rumbles, it. They. They go so fast and you only have a moment to get back into character. And for a lot of us that come back on returning, it's like sometimes you haven't been who you are in that WWE ring for years and years and, you know, you get faced with, do I come out as a heel? A baby face? Do. Do I just smile? Who. Who am I? And it's crazy because every time, and I felt it this time around, it's like you don't have those reps and it almost feels hard to get into that character, like the character that you want. And so it's always like, go out and be yourself, but you really want to deliver to the fans something special. And then also, what were the moments that we just saw in the ring before my number got hit. But it's just been so amazing. You know, I could finally talk about my three weeks leading up to it. I. The days that I didn't have Mateo, I would like drop them off and go straight to the airport and catch a flight to Orlando. And I would train for two to three nights at the PC. I did that two weeks straight. And then I was able to get to Tampa to train with Nadi and in her Heart Dungeon 2.0 twice with just incredible people from the Indies. Independent wrestling, for the ones who don't know that term, we use that a lot in wrestling. And it was just amazing. Being in there the past three weeks. I couldn't believe, like, how much my body remembered, but how much I was loving it, how I didn't need to take Tylenol every day. I was like, wow, I'm really just adapting to this Quick. And it was just really making me excited for this return because I do know there's a lot of rumors on the Internet, is this a one off or she here to stay? Well, keep tuning in because you will see another fearless Nikki appearance sooner than later, that is for sure. But I'm definitely doing more than what I just did Saturday, so I'm continuing to train. And it's just I have felt so empowered and alive in certain ways. And honestly, the, like, the most important thing that I've been getting back that I realize I've lost for so many years, which is unlike me and I never would have thought I lost it, but is definitely my confidence. And what's incredible is to train with someone like Natty, who all my total diva fans, you know that I've been close with Natty since even before the birth of total divas. It's literally been since I joined wrestling in 2007. So it's been a really long time that we've been super close. Nadi and I am Bri, we've all been through so much together. So this time around, preparing for this run, Nadia has been just already such a key piece for me because she knows me best when it comes to wrestling. She knows my personality, she knows how I move. And the one thing she picked up on quick was like, we need to work on getting your confidence back. And I told her like that. The past few years, I've really have lost that. I've lost confidence in myself, feeling great about myself. And that was a big part of being Nikki Bella was. She was. She oozed confidence. I went out there and I felt sexy and strong and confident and you couldn't break me. Even if I was going to lose, I was going to make it look damn good. And I felt so good about it. And that is definitely a piece of me that is lost. And as I've been training these past three weeks, I've slowly been getting it back. And it's made me even more excited for this run because I've realized more than ever, I need it. For me personally, as I've said before on this show, we're these characters, but we're these characters for decades, and they're a part of us. We bring them to life, of who we are, and then these characters stay, you know, as a piece of our heart. They stay in us. And so that is one thing that I know that I need and I'm getting back is that confidence. And I need that in her. And I felt that it was so cute because before my music hit at 30 and I walked out, Natty came running into Gorilla. And one thing she was teaching me when I was training, to help build my confidence, because she saw where I lacked and the earmuffs for. For I'm about to cuss. But she's like, you need to find your you. And I was like, you're right. And she goes, when you're. When you're hitting your moves, when you're hitting your forearms, because, oh, when I was working these independent wrestlers, we do, like, mini matches and whatnot, and she's like, you really need to find that inner you, like, so you can deliver, so you can be who you were. So she comes running into Gorilla, like, as it's on, like, counting down to 10, and she literally grabs me and she goes, go give them your fuck. You go find it. And, oh, my God, it's gonna make me cry. It was, like, such a moment with Nadia. Nadia is the most incredible person you'll ever meet. She's just such a key part of WWE and the women's division. But so right when my music hit, then I feel like I gave too much of a serious face because I was like, yeah, I'm gonna go find my fuck you. And I did. I found my inner fuck you. And I'm excited to find that more as I do more in the ring at WWE and as I train to find more of getting my confidence back, because I really want. I didn't fully have it back even, you know, I don't have it fully back. It's definitely a work in progress. And that's what I'm really excited for, is that by the time I walk away or during the. During the middle of this journey or even. It's at the beginning that I feel so confident about myself and who I am and my character and everything I'm doing just like before. And it's really neat to find those pieces of this. And this is exactly what I've been yearning for and what I've been wanting. I think now I've realized why, for so long, I was craving to get back in the ring. And it's because big pieces of me have just been missing and now it's time to put them back together. So I want to give a big shout out to Natty. Natty, I love you. Thank you so much. I couldn't have walked out super fierce on that entrance without you. And I'm definitely on my way to finding my you, Natty. But she's incredible. I'm going to be dropping more and more wrestling videos on my socials from practicing. It's crazy because, you know, I've already seen the first week of being a little rusty and where I got to the third week. And it'll be really, really interesting to do all this and hopefully Brie mode will be by my side soon. More on that to come. So the gear. When I did the last Royal Rumble two years ago, I think I talked about on this show. But I had an issue with gear that was made and I literally had to overnight five dollar Amazon shorts George to the hotel and wear an old jersey. The sizing got all wrong and I even had stuff where we measured. Anyways, it was a big mess. And that is why my year, the second time I did the Rumble, my gear was just not it. I was just freaking out. And especially I was. I mean, Mateo was one and a half or two, but like, really not feeling it. And then having your gear be too small, you're just like, no. It was like worst nightmare. So I just knew I had to make this one right. Like, make a statement, you know, make it me. But elevated me. Like, what's the modern day Nikki Bella? So I worked with the designer. He's incredible. He's worked with a lot of the girls in the locker room, so we had a lot of fun piecing things together. I felt really beautiful. But I will say, last minute, I got a little insecure about my stomach. Crazy. And so that's what made me. I was like, I'm going to get my Gwen Stefani on her. Paige has actually done this too. And so I pulled up my fishnets and I was like, you know what? This looks fashionable. Everyone said it looked really hot. So that's what gave me that look. But it actually was a very fun, modern day Nikki Bella look. And then of course, I had a rock old mosh Nike kicks. The shoes that I wore were actually the shoes that I wore for the Evolution pay per View against Rhonda. It was when I did the mock Louis Vuitton pattern. But of course, instead of LVs, they were BN. So I love that. I always I'm a type of person that I trained in those. And if I don't get training time in shoes, I can't rock them. I just won't be able to deliver. Oh, and then we need to just talk about that entrance. That was the longest, some of you will know as a catwalk run to the ring or just. It was just a really long walk. That is why I don't know if they even told you guys. Probably Michael Cole said it, but usually it's 90 seconds in between each number. But because it was so long to get to the ring, they had to make it two minutes. It was crazy. I. Everyone was like, are we running? Do we walk some? Then we run. Because it's like if you were to, like, we were practicing, like, if you were to run that, like, you can get out of breath by the time you get to the ring. So it was really crazy how long that was. But how incredible is Netflix's production? It's unreal. Like, just seeing the difference on Monday Night Raw. Now, the pay per views, the production quality, like, you didn't think it could get any better. It is insane. And so I see that shot they did with. It looks like you're almost running almost on top of everyone's heads. But I was like, okay, that was a cool camera shot. I get why they have it so long. It looked so good.

Brie Bella
You know what season's coming up?
- [11:40]
Nikki Bella
Is that festival season? Brie. Yes, it is.
- [11:44]
Brie Bella
And Nikki and I, every year during festival season, always plan a girls trip.
- [11:50]
Nikki Bella
That is right. And so how I feel we plan the most perfect festival triple is to get on Airbnb and first find the perfect house, then we could decide which festival to go to.
- [12:00]
Brie Bella
I mean, honestly. And I think the cool thing is, is that if we find some incredible house where all of us girls can stay, do a little cooking, a little swimming, then maybe I could put up my house and make a little money while I'm spending some money at these festivals.
- [12:20]
Nikki Bella
You know what that. See, now think about it. If you host while you're traveling, it's a great way to offset some of the cost of your own trip.
- [12:28]
Brie Bella
Ding, ding, ding. And if you've got a big year of travel ahead of you, hosting is a pretty cool and unique way to make some money back, which I love.
- [12:36]
Nikki Bella
Because 2025 is the year to be financially savvy. So don't leave money on the table when you travel.
- [12:43]
Brie Bella
Your home might be worth more than you think.

Nikki Bella
Learn more@xfinity.com that's xfinity.com as you all know, my total Diva fans, which we got to get into that because I feel like my total Diva fans have really come in strong since the Royal Rumble. But how cool was it to have the face off with Nia Jax? One, I just love the work she's been doing. She's one of my favorite people. But I loved the fact that we got to have that moment. And so that was another reason for the fierce walk, because I was like, well, when it's just Nia Jax staying in that ring, you better be prepared, right, for a major battle. So that was like, a lot of fun. I love that. And I love that we had that moment. Her and Natty were the two people that I mainly hung out with backstage. And when I got there Friday night, I was with Naya, like, the whole time and then hung out a lot with Trinh. All my Total Divas. And it is so cute to see how many of the youth that are in, like, grew up on Total Divas. It's like we're so in that era and they were just loving seeing Natty, Trin and I talk or Naya. It just. Yeah, it felt like an old school total diva scene. And I must say we all kind of still looked the same. I'm just kidding. But, like, how cool. It gives me so many ideas moving forward because I think a Total Divas reunion and what the girls are doing now and bringing back that Divas feel is just really cool. It's nostalgia. It's like when you're now walking into antique shops and they have like the 90s section, I feel like we're almost there. That's like kind of what total divas feels like for me at least, being backstage because everyone's just so young and youthful. I love it. It. So there was a moment in the rumble where everyone was like, you have to do your push ups. The push ups did become pretty iconic and we thought it would be such a great place after Naya gets hit with all those different moves and everyone's down to have this push up moment. And I thought it would be amazing to do that with Roxanne because the history with Roxanne, and it's so cute because her mom was sending videos. But when Roxanne was really young, she was standing, waiting where a lot of us would be coming in and out of the arena. And she was sitting there and, you know, she called out to Bri and I and then was asking about advice and she was showing me this video and she made actually total divas as a little girl, I think it was when her and Bri were talking, was actually on the show. She was showing when showing me the video the night before when we were talking. And it's so cute because I go to her and I go, you know, I'm probably going to need a tag partner in five years. And as a little girl, she responds to me, she goes, well, I'd rather have a match against you in five years. And I was like, oh, okay. And 10 years later, she and I are in the ring. Like, it's. It's so crazy when you see the video and then I'm sitting there looking at her and I'm like, this is wild. So I really. We both really wanted to have that moment. And so that is the moment I had with Roxanne. Hopefully there'll be more to do with her in the future. She is one such an incredible wrestler. Like, incredible wrestler, incredible person, obsessed with her character. It was giving me very much vibes of me and AJ Lee back in like 2000, 15, 16 era. 17, 17, my goodness. Over in that era, the longest reigning Divas champion era. And Charlotte and I so badly wanted a moment. There just wasn't enough time. But yeah, I loved having that moment with Roxanne. It was so awesome. Oh, and it's so funny because after the match, everyone was talking about Bailey and I. You know what it is? It's just when we're still ringside in front of fans, we just all like to mess with each other and have fun. So I'm like, kay Fabe. Like, am I? It's like, it's so the lines are so blurred nowadays from what I've realized, but it's just a lot of people just staying in character, having fun. I eliminated Bailey, but then I got eliminated right after Bailey, which the cameras missed. I was really bummed. But it's on Social. You guys have to see, Like, I'm pretty much, like, doing a cartwheel in air. I remember at one point thinking in my head, like, oh, wow. I don't think anything's touching a mat or rope. That was quite a fall. I definitely felt that for a few days. But, yeah, we were just having fun, obviously. I love me some Bailey. She is such an incredible human. I was with her a lot, too. She's just such a great locker room leader and so talented. Those are my girls. And it's like, it's crazy now to see them be the veterans, because they came in in my era, and even when I left, they were still like, the new girls, pretty much. I never even got a chance to work Bailey. Actually, I don't even think Bailey debuted yet when I left, or it would have been right when I was leaving. I gotta. I gotta think that. But it was so. It's so weird now to look at her that she's the veteran and she was the new girl at the end of my era. It's wild. It's just wild how fast time goes by. But that's what makes me so obsessed with the Royal Rumble is you get those moments of the past, the current, and the future, and that's what makes me, like, just. It's just amazing. So I have to say, today is probably the day that I don't feel soreness. I really focused on recovery when I got home because even right after the match, I was like, oh, wow, I'm very sore. This is different than training. But I was sore for a good few days. But what was so cute is when I got home, Mateo was like, I want to be your doctor. And so he really took care of me that first day home. It was so cute, and it was just so cute to see his reactions. He is not. Not as upset as Buddy. Buddy cannot let it go that I didn't win the Royal Rumble one. He was very. I think Mateo's just more worried. He doesn't want to see me in that yet, or he just doesn't know what to think about it. Even though he wants to wrestle me, but he always wants to make sure mommy's okay. Like, but are you okay? But let's fight. But, like, are you okay, buddy? Like, wants to take on Nia Jax because she's one who eliminated me. And he was so upset that Dodo didn't win. Like, he couldn't believe it that the next morning when he woke up, he needed to watch it again because I think maybe he thought the finish would change. And again, was so upset I didn't win when he rewatched it. And every time I've been on the phone with Bree since, he's like, but Dodo, why didn't you win the Royal Rumble? Like, he just can't believe it. Which I love it because he did tell Brie a few weeks ago if he can marry me. He's like, mommy, I really want to marry Dodo. She loves me, and I love her. And I was like, oh, my gosh, that's just the cutest thing. I just love my little butt so much. So I feel like he might be my number one cheerleader, which I love. Like, I can't wait during this run to have Mateo and Buddy ringside. It's just gonna be the best thing ever. Our little Bella boys. It's gonna be the best. And I just better. I mean, I should say this now. I better win, because I think Buddy might do a run in. I think he. He definitely has a personality, too. That's for sure. But I can't wait to see him again today and him to ask me about the Rumble and why I didn't win. It's cute. I even had a text, Naya, and I'm like, buddy is not happy with you right now. Like, he does not understand why you eliminated me. So it's just so cute when the kids get involved and to see it through their eyes. Also, I just. I've been loving the Total Divas love. And this is what's so fun. And I truly hope we do something with it, because all of the girls that are there now, the newer ones, and even some. I mean, you have some that were total Diva fans throughout that have talked a lot about it, but so many of the girls now are total diva fans. And when I see some of my total divas there, I'm like, okay, there's something we need to do here. Because then even seeing all the fans online, getting really excited about Total Divas Reunion and just talking about total divas, I just. It's funny because Natty True. And I kept singing the song, and I'm like, we might have to have a Divas takeover at some point, just, you know, for a little bit. But I think we need to do something because There's a lot of noise around it, and it's always just so fun. It's just when I look at us too, when we are all geared up, I'm like, we just all totally have our own distinct personalities. And that's why the show works so well, is like, you couldn't have put a better group of girls that were just so uniquely them, but also connected, like, on such a great level. So stay tuned for that, because I am. I'm hoping to see more of that. I think that would be great. Real quick, my shirt. I just have to tell you guys about my shirt. So we dropped a Fearless Nikki shirt. It's vintage, but it's a little different because I came in a little different. So my swoosh ends in an M for Mateo. By the way, this was WWE Shop's idea, and I'm obsessed. And then they know how I call Matteo my monkey. Monkey baby. It's what we've always called him, and we still call him. He's our little monkey. So they put a little monkey on my eye. So this whole bottom part, this is like the fearless Nicky mom era. And so we have Mateo. And of course, I wanted to keep the Bella Twins logo. And then also what we've made differently that is always, like, my jerseys is we put, of course, the Bella 02 on the back. So I don't know if you all saw, but at first it was number one selling Royal Rumble shirts and then became two and three. But we have stayed in the ranks of the top three. So again, Bell Army. Thank you. And it's now worldwide. You all kept asking. I was like, yeah, we got to make this worldwide. And so day two, they put it worldwide. So thank you, everyone, for buying the shirt. The love, it's still up on WWE Shop in the Nikki Bella section. So definitely go get you one. It's amazing. I love it. You'll love it. More to come.

Hi, Nikki, this is Emma. I'm calling from Nebraska, and I just wanted to say how happy we are that you are finally back. And what was it like? Being backstage was like, all the girls and even in the ring, like, what did you feel? Like, all the emotions. I love you so much.
- [28:23]
Nikki Bella
Oh, love you, Emma. Thank you for the question. It was incredible. Honestly. Like, I can't say it enough, but we at WWE have such family vibes, especially so many of us have been there for a long time. The crew's the same production, so I see so many familiar faces, and it's just like home for me. And I have to say that at this part of my life, I've really needed to go back home and be with my family. I realized they give me a lot of strength, but it was so much fun. I. I was telling Brie, I go, Brie. I never stopped having conversations with people. I literally, from the moment I walked in till I went to the ring, I was talking with everyone. It was just. It was a big family reunion. And even better because, you know, I was in the locker room, we all were getting ready together, and it was just a lot of fun. A lot of fun, A lot of love. Oh. And being back in the ring, it felt great. Like, I can't wait to get back in. Even when I got eliminated, I was like, oh, I just want to be in there and do more. It was a lot of fun. It felt super good.
- [29:27]

Like, he's really getting into it. And I could just see his little twinkle in his eye with me, and it's cute. And what's the best is he wants to wrestle me. So I love it. And just being back, it's been the best. I can't say it enough. It's been so amazing.

Hi, Nikki and Bri. My name is Myleh. I'm from Mississippi. I was calling to ask Nikki, how did it feel sharing the ring with some of the women who grew up idolizing you and watching you on Total Divas?
- [30:23]
Nikki Bella
So it was amazing. The one thing that us girls said after it was like, we never miss a beat. You know when you have, like, those best friends and you're like, you won't see them for a really long time, and then all of a sudden you see them and you're like, we just don't miss a beat. That is exactly how it is with my total divas. And I love being in the ring with them because I know they take care of me and I take care of them, but it's like, we really help each other out, and there's nothing better than that. Oh, I just want to do more, and I want to do more with my divas.

Hi, this is Jasmine from New Mexico, and I was asking Nikki, you're gonna do WWE full time, and congratulations on your return. So excited. You're gonna do amazing. You don't understand how hyped I am. Tell Bri I said hi, and I said, bri, Emote. Keep thriving, the both of y'all. And I love you guys so much. Have an amazing day.

Nikki Bella
Thank you, Jasmine. I love you. Stay tuned. Yes, I know. In that brie mode, I miss her. Thank you.

Hey, Nikki. My name is Michaela Zenik. I live in Minnesota. I was wondering how you deal with anxiety.
- [31:34]
Nikki Bella
Hi, Michaela. That is such a great question. So, honestly, meditation music. So especially, let's just say if I'm in something, like before the Royal Rumble, like putting on a set, a pair of headphones, and putting on meditation music. And especially in. In anxiety form, look at something like Headspace. And there's a few other apps. I really like Headspace, but they have actual people talking to you meditation form on that platform that are geared towards anxiety. Because what I've realized is when someone's leading me through a meditation and they have a soothing voice, it just really helps. And I. I always feel like that is the best because that just gets that anxiety energy out. I think whatever environment you're in and you're feeling it, just separate yourself from loud noise, from a lot of people. Get in your own quiet space and put on anxiety meditation to help you take that out. That would definitely be the best. And if it doesn't go away, I would definitely see a doctor for sure. I'm not a doctor, so I can't say anything else, but that would be definitely what I would do.

What's up, Bellas? Longtime Bella army supporter here at Dakota Colony from Ohio. Just a quick question, Nikki. Do you have any dream matches now to get back on the main roster? And would you like to have another title match in the near future? And would you like to have a WrestleMania moment? Look forward to seeing what you got in the ring, Nikki. It's been way too long since we saw you, and we all know you still got it.
- [33:08]
Nikki Bella
Aw, thank you, Dakota. I love that we know you still got it. That's right. Great questions. There's so many people I'd love to face. I mean, there's just such incredible women. It's so hard to choose. I remember when they asked, the WWE's YouTube asked me this right after, and I was just so, like, overwhelmed with emotions, so I was throwing names out. But if I immediately look at something like just what Chelsea Green has been bringing to social media about the divas, stuff she's has said in interviews, like, I immediately get turned on by that because I'm like, huh? She has been talking about the divas lately. So I think something like that would be really fun to work. Chelsea, of course, another a dream match would be, you know, against Ria, and I would love to do that with Bri. When I think of my Rhonda run for Evolution and just those feels, I think something like that would be so fun to bring in, especially with Bri and the Bella army, because I felt like in. In my run against Rhonda, it wasn't just about Rhonda and I, it was also about Bria, my side, but about the Bella Lucian, about Bella army being behind us. And I think that would be something really fun to bring Daria, because she's become the face of the women's division and has gone through so many women. So it'd be fun to bring in that. Obviously, tag titles just dangle in my mind. I would really love to face a lot of the different tag teams in the women's division with Bri. There's so many amazing women, and we'll see different pairings at different times, and I think there could be really, you know, something really fun there. And then I liked my little moment with Roxanne. I think we can make magic happen too. And I immediately think of something about meeting your heroes. Sometimes you always shouldn't, or you should, who knows? So, of course, I've left there thinking a ton of things. If you can only see my journal entries, it's writing galore but thank you, Dakota. Great questions.

Hi, Nikki. My name is Kyle. I'm calling from New Jersey, and I have a fun question for you. So combining your two current worlds of WWE and the Traders, if you were in trouble in the ring and Bri couldn't be there for you, which traitor cast me, would you call in for backup to be your tag partner? Also, I just bought your new shirt. I love it. I want to see another shirt that says still fearless, because even after all this time, you're still fearless, and you still got it in the ring. Love you. Bye.
- [35:43]
Nikki Bella
I love you, Kyle. Yes. You know what? Hey, still fearless. I love that. We've been trying to think of a new slogan, and that's, like, really good. Okay, so Us Weekly just asked me this, and they actually printed it. And she. We were sharing DMS about this, but immediately from the cast of Traders, I'm like Robin Dixon. So Robin, out of anyone, I'm just like, that would be my girl. I think she would be amazing as a tag partner. And then, of course, when one housewife shows up, well, we're going to get them all. So then I think it'd be amazing to, you know, to have the other ones manage. I mean, from Dolores to Ian to Dorinda. I mean, no one will have a chance against us, especially with words or against us. They would probably kick my ass. So, yeah, Robin Dixon for sure would be the one. And speaking of Us Weekly, I don't know if you guys saw, but I was their cover last week. Obviously, two hour interview that gets put into two pages, but it was really incredible and super grateful and just want to continue to share my platform with love and light. And just remember, if you guys ever have any questions to call, here 833GARCIA too.

Nikki, life can get really busy.

Nikki Bella
Really busy. I mean, I would say it's been busy for all of us. I know.
- [37:03]
Brie Bella
And sometimes we just need to take a breather, sit down, and ask ourselves one very important question.
- [37:10]
Nikki Bella
What's that, Bri?
- [37:11]
Brie Bella
Have you had your Hershey's?
- [37:14]
Nikki Bella
I sure have had my Hershey's Brie. And you know what? When you need to brighten up your day or even put a smile on your face, grab the classic creamy texture and pure milk chocolate flavor of Hershey's milk chocolate.
- [37:27]
Brie Bella
Whether you're eating it on the go, breaking off a few pieces for s'mores night, or treating yourself to something sweet, Hershey's milk chocolate checks all the boxes.
- [37:37]
Nikki Bella
It sure does. You want to know what one of my favorite moments With Hershey's chocolate is Teo. And I like. I love it because you know me, I'm chocolate lover. But now I have a son who's a chocolate lover. So we slip bars all the time. It's just such a moment for us, a very happy moment. We look at each other, he always ends up getting chocolate all over his face. But it's just such a sweet moment that I find myself always reaching for a Hershey bar.
- [38:03]
Brie Bella
Always. I mean, we love making s'mores in my family. So every time I bust out a Hershey bar, my kids start screaming with excitement. They know it's about to be s'more time. So for all of you, shop for Hershey's milk chocolate now at a store.

Nikki Bella
Near you found wherever candy is sold. So, as you all know, I truly feel like spring cleaning for me is the beginning of the year. Start a new year, right with decluttering.

Hey, beer. Nikki, My name is April. I am 18 years old and I'm from Florida. I just had to call and say how much you both mean to me. You have both been a huge inspiration in my life. Not just in wrestling, but in so many ways. Nikki, I totally blame you for getting me into Louis bags. I used to just admire them from afar, but when I finally hit the right age, I just had to get them. And now my closet is filled. Bri. I know. I know, Bre. I just want to send my love and appreciation thank you for everything. You both are so beautiful. And Nikki, I'm so happy you're back and I cannot wait to see what's up next. I love you both. Bye.
- [40:17]
Nikki Bella
Oh, April, I love that. That was. You know what? Because of time. That's a great one to finish on. And April, thank you so much for those kind words. Your words are actually going to lead me into some inspiration affirmation from the heart. But I just appreciate your love and support so much and thank you for that. And you go kick some butts, stay fearless in whatever it is you do, and stay tuned. But thank you so much for all those kind words. And as April is going to lead me into some inspiration affirmation, I'm not going to leave you all with an exact quote or an affirmation or thing. I'm just going to speak real quick from the heart. But thank you all so much for all of your love and support, not only for this past year, but all the years since the moment I stepped in as a. A young woman into that ring at 22 years old and now sitting here being 41, but I just look back at my journey and now sitting here as a mom and doing things on my own, it just felt really incredible just for that moment, to be in that ring, but to also receive all the love and support from you all. This run for me is going to be so different because I am a mom and all my moms know, you know, we come in there different, mind, body and soul. We just. Our thoughts are different, we feel different, we look at ourselves different. But in this, I know that I'm going to be the best version of myself. And it honestly goes out to all of you, like, without all of your affirmations to me and your inspiring words and your words of encouragement and love, I couldn't be this brave and do this. And so just thank you all for that. I hope that as I continue on this journey, that I bring a lot of impact back to you all, because I think that's what's just so amazing about this platform. Whether it's podcasting or social media or actually standing in that ring, I love to bring motivation, inspiration, and you guys bring it back to me. And that's just what makes the Bella army and all of us just go around in such a beautiful way. So I hope to truly continue to just share the light and love. But I just can't say enough that, like, you have had this girl on cloud nine since Saturday, and it's just your words and encouragement and you all really have helped me cancel out the noise. And it's also something to say and I started to even see the haters turn a bit is when you show up and do the work so much, we will talk about who we want there or what we want this job to be like or, or just whatever. But then when you start to recognize the people that show up and do the work, that give it their all every day, and these are people in your life that just show up, give you love, give you support, they're there for you. It's time to recognize that. Right? And I, I feel there's a shift in social media with that and I started to recognize that. And this is whether people on screen, off screen, relationships, work life, family life, start to recognize the people that show up and do the work. And that's either do the work for you in business or do the work in your personal life for love and support. And we gotta honor that because sometimes people work really hard, whether they're giving and not receiving or they're just showing up to be the best employee ever. And we need to start recognizing all of that. So thank you all for the recognition. It is meant more to me than you can ever imagine. And it's going to make me work even harder on this comeback to deliver so much to all of you. And hey, let's all have a lot of fun together because this is going to be now the new day. Bella Lution, I feel it. And keep sending me your ideas. I already love all your slogans, but let's do all this together. Let's have some fun. So I love you all so much. Thank you so much for all of your support at the Royal Rumble. And stay tuned because fearless Nikki is here to stay. Okay, love you guys. And make sure to look for videos on the Nick and Brie Show, IG Page, TikTok, Facebook, and the Nikki and Bri show is also on Sirius XM Stars 109. And hey, even though I am sadly still gone from Traders because there's no return when you've been banished, still tune in every Thursday on Peacock. Rooting for you, Gabby. Chrishell, I know people are saying whatever about the Bambies, but Bambies make it to the end, please. All right, I love you guys. And until next time. Well, actually, and next time we are going to be coming live from Radio Row Super Bowl. So hey, if you haven't subscribed, you better subscribe and like. But Bri and I are headed to New Orleans. All right, can't wait to share our guests with you guys, so stay tuned. Bye.
