They're incredibly enter incredibly talented, of course, and they're carrying a lot of the segments and I just think this is going to be massive, this women's premium live event. It's so weird to say because I want to say pay per view, but it's not pay per view anymore. But this ple is going to be massive and, and not only just going to be massive, but it's going to be incredible matches. And I just cannot wait to. To see it maybe be a part of it, you know, so well.

[Nikki Bella]

It's going to be great that you'll get to see a blend and I'm sure you'll see some of the NXT women wrestling on there. Too. So I feel like for fans and for someone like myself, because I'm a fan, it's so much fun to sit and start to think who's going to wrestle each other.

[Brie Bella]

You know, the unique matchups.

[Nikki Bella]

You're the unique matchups. You start to put your dream matches. I want to see this one, wrestle this one. And so.

[Brie Bella]

Oh my gosh, I've already been doing that. I'm like, oh, my gosh, I wonder if this person's going to do it or. I would do it this way. I guess.

[Nikki Bella]

Who's coming back? That's always a big question.

[Brie Bella]

I. Hey, past, present, future, that's what evolution's all about. Okay, well, I mean, I say we stop teasing our audience. We let everyone know who's going to be joining the Nikki and Bri show today.

Okay, Brie, you have to let me know if I say this right and she will too. Stephanie Vacair, can I just say something to you? Yeah.

[Nikki Bella]

Before I ask her something, how did you mess up her last name on live television? You're half Mexican.

[Brie Bella]

No, I always try to add a little spice. And one, we have her here right now.

[Nikki Bella]

Oh, I know we do. And I'm gonna ask her her feelings on you not saying her last name correctly. Can you just say it one more time so we all know you know, right?

[Brie Bella]

Hi, Stephanie.

[Stephanie Vacair]

Hello.

[Brie Bella]

Hello. Good. Okay, so can I need to say your last name because this went viral and I, we had, I had stopped you in the, the hallway just because I wanted to say it with a Latin presence. I wanted to give it that spice. And then with nerves and then hearing, I kept asking like the writers, commentators, wait, how do I say it again? Because I don't want to get this wrong. And then I go out there and I try to say with a little spice and I should, I guess just said vacher. But can you say it how you say it?

[Stephanie Vacair]

Yeah.

[Brie Bella]

Do you say that's. Wait, yeah.

[Stephanie Vacair]

Really good.

[Brie Bella]

Okay, so I know, but I had that in my head and then I'm listening to then how like the commentators say it and the writers and I just, it's kind of crazy how viral it went, right?

[Stephanie Vacair]

Yeah, yeah, it's. I. I know it's difficult to say the R. Yeah. No, you say it good.

[Brie Bella]

Yeah. So it was just nerves that hit.

[Nikki Bella]

Nerves will do that sometimes. We never know what will happen when we're under some nerves.

[Brie Bella]

I'm never gonna say wrong again, that is for sure.

[Nikki Bella]

We know out of all the things you can go viral for Stephanie. So you don't do many interviews in English?

[Stephanie Vacair]

No. English for me is a little difficult yet.

[Brie Bella]

Yeah.

[Stephanie Vacair]

So if. But if you speak slow, I. I can understand a lot. Maybe I can speak a lot, but I understand.

[Brie Bella]

I love it. You know, you actually. You sound so much like our stepmom when she speaks English, Anna, now, she's. I know you're from Chile and she's from Mexico, but you. You both have that same accent when you speak English, right?

[Nikki Bella]

It's sexy. It's like, so sexy. Salma Hayek accent.

[Brie Bella]

I agree.

[Nikki Bella]

But we will speak slow because sometimes I will tell you, the Bellas can speak very fast, so we will make sure to speak slow. And when my dad speaks Spanish to me, I always have to tell him, can you please slow down? Like, I know it's easier when it's slow, but. Stephanie, thank you so much for coming onto the Nikki and Bri Show. We're so excited to have you. And, you know, Nikki and I, we feel like we know so much about you, but we want our listeners to know more about you because, you know, you guys are on the road to evolution. You have Night of Champions. Yes. Coming up, but evolution. And if there's one thing that people know on the Nikki and Bri show is we love supporting women. And so what was it that inspired you to wrestle?

[Stephanie Vacair]

Wow. I don't know. Wrestling, for me, is my life. And I can say one person experienced me for this. I have a lot wrestler and female wrestler. I say, okay, she's awesome. She's amazing. So. But I can say just one person, experience me. Maybe no wrestler, my dad experience me for follow my dream all the time. So maybe no wrestling. Wrestling. But for me, wrestling is my life. But the person experience me for follow my dream. And wrestling is my dad.

[Brie Bella]

I love that. And I did see. I saw your video on Instagram about your dad and for Father's Day, and that was so beautiful. And you can tell how much he's inspired you and motivated you. And it's so true that in some of the things we do, whether it's professional sports or whatever, we get into it necessarily doesn't have to be someone in the industry that motivates us or inspires us to get into it. It's just the people around us that lead us in that way of being that. So I love that it's your dad who has inspired you most and your passion for wrestling. He must be so proud.

[Stephanie Vacair]

Yeah. And he maybe he don't understand nothing about wrestling and but he really believe in me and push me for good things. So it's my hero. He doesn't know nothing about wrestling. Maybe no professional wrestling, but wrestler. But yeah, it's my hero.

[Brie Bella]

And how old were you when you started wrestling?

[Stephanie Vacair]

21.

[Nikki Bella]

Okay, amazing. And how is it going? You know, being born and raised in Chile and then moving to Orlando, Florida. Was that a hard move?

[Stephanie Vacair]

Maybe. No, it's hard because you need to change everything in your life. The apartment, friends, family, everything. But no first time I, I changed everything because I born in Chile, but When I was 19 I went to Japan, I went to Mexico and moved here. So it's for me it's not my first time move and change everything in my life. And I love Orlando, I, I, I really love usa. So it's good. But yeah, it's hard because you need. I miss my family, I miss my friends, I everything. But I really feel good here. So it's big change but good, really good.

[Nikki Bella]

I love it. So what's one Chilean dish you wished you could bring from home to the States?

[Stephanie Vacair]

We, I don't know, maybe. No, I can, I can because I, I, I love my grandma food and I can breathe here. But when I, I go to Chile, I eat a lot.

[Nikki Bella]

I bet good food.

[Brie Bella]

Yes. And you know when you talk about how you've moved around a lot because I didn't know how you were in Mexico and Japan and that's what I'm so in awe about you because you have conquered so many different federations of wrestling and different territories and being a champion of all of those, which has been so incredible to see. And I just love the impact that you've already had coming into wwe.

[Stephanie Vacair]

Yeah. And as I have a long career, long career. Ten years, but long, long time ago, seven years ago I, I did a tryout for WWWE and yeah, eight or seven years years ago I think seven and I did, but no good. I'm green. I need learn more. So in the beginning for me I feel a lot frustration like say okay, WWE is my dream and I'm not ready but I really want. So I think I start to train in different discipline and say okay, I go to Mexico, I go to learn more and I need to go for all the world, all the planet and learn different style and really conquers continent and conquers styles and learn. So the last seven years I work really, really hard. And in Japan, in Mexico I learned Mexican style. Go to Japan, I learned Japanese style and the Japanese language a little bit. Maybe my, my Japanese. Yeah, maybe my Japanese is better than my English.

[Brie Bella]

Oh wow. I love it.

[Stephanie Vacair]

Yes. It's weird. I speak more Japanese than English, but and the style I love Japanese style. So after everything, finally my dream WWE called me. And really it's my dream. It's my dream. I really work hard every day. And when I say every day, it's every day for I want to be the best. And WWE for me is my dream and work hard. Everything before is just one. Will he come here and now I'm here, so I'm so happy. And I continue. Work hard.

[Brie Bella]

Yeah. And you. And you see it because you have, you've already had such incredible impact in the women's division, and it hasn't been that long. But what I love about you when I watch you is you have incredible confidence, not only when you walk to the ring, but your presence in the ring. Like, you give a feeling as a wrestler of being in such control, and you could see that in how either the men or the women work. But you're always just so confident in your movement. Like, I'm not going to lie, but I was rooting hard for you the other night, and I was so, I was so happy Oscar was back. But then I was so mad when she won, and I was like, no, Stephanie should have won. You were so great in that match. And I, like, got so lost in it. But I've realized that with you, you and your character and your presence, you really get lost in it. Remember, when I tell you, I'm like, bri, you have to watch her wrestle. She's just, she takes her time. She tells a story. She just has a certain confidence about her. And then your moves are unreal. You could tell you've learned from all these different countries and style of wrestling, and you bring it all together, which makes you so unique and have such an impact.

[Nikki Bella]

Well, and I just admire Stephanie, your work ethic, how hard you work, and the fact, you know, a lot of people, like, if they get rejected, they might think something else is meant to be. You didn't. You instead went and just, like, like you said, conquered the different countries and territories, and you made something really beautiful and special out of that. And I, I'll be honest, when I first started wrestling, I almost wish someone told me, like, hey, why don't you go wrestle in Mexico first, go wrestle in Japan, then come back. I honestly. And I'll tell my kids, like, because, you know, having two pro wrestler parents, the one thing I'll tell Birdie and Buddy, if they want to get in the business, I will say, go wrestle in Mexico, go wrestle over in England, Japan, even head to Australia, because I, I, I think there's something about that.

[Brie Bella]

Yeah.

[Nikki Bella]

And it makes you a better talent. I mean, it makes you all around better. That is for sure. I missed out on all that. I'm kind of like, if I could rewind, I would definitely go. You know, actually, it's never too late.

[Brie Bella]

Yeah.

[Nikki Bella]

One thing I love about traveling is that you get to immerse yourself in A new place or culture.

[Brie Bella]

Oh, yes. And you want to feel like an insider and less like a tourist, which is why we are so excited. Airbnb just launched experiences in cities all around the world where you can see the city from a new angle, connect with other travelers, and have the those true once in a lifetime experiences.

[Brie Bella]

[Nikki Bella]

I know. And sometimes we just need to take a breather, sit down, and ask ourselves one very important question.

[Brie Bella]

What's that? Brie.

[Nikki Bella]

Have you had your Hershey's?

[Brie 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.

[Nikki 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.

[Brie Bella]

It sure does. You want to know what one of my favorite moments with Hershey's chocolate is? Tao 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.

[Nikki Bella]

Always. I mean, we love making s' mores in my family. So every time I bust out a Hershey bar, my kids start smelling 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.

[Brie Bella]

Near you found wherever candy is sold. So I have a question. So if you could have any match at Evolution, who would you want to go up against?

[Stephanie Vacair]

Wow, difficult question.

[Brie Bella]

I know that's a hard one.

[Stephanie Vacair]

Because many wrestlers, female wrestlers, is amazing, amazing wrestlers. But I don't know. I. I can. I can't say just one person. And yeah, I. I try. I try to be ready for more experience or like different kind of matches. But for wrestler, I think everyone. Amazing wrestler. So.

[Brie Bella]

Yeah, and I guess no, and I agree it's so hard. I mean, even coming back and you know, maybe potentially having a match, it's. I will get asked that too. And I'm like, I. Everyone's great. You can do something with everyone. You can tell a great story. You can have a great match. But I have a question. What? What do you prefer being baby face or heel?

[Stephanie Vacair]

Wow. All my career. Heal. All my career. That's what I thought, Baby face. But I feel good. I feel good. I really enjoy the my heel career. But now I feel different because people hit the crown here, really love me and really love the crown here. So I think now for me, Baby face, it's perfect. Yeah, I really enjoy the baby face now.

[Brie Bella]

I agree. And I have to say that move, the Devil's kiss, I mean, that is just. Everyone loves it. And when you and Rhea had that spot at money in the bank, I was like, that's.

[Nikki Bella]

Well, that's what I was gonna say. I feel like you and Rhea should have a match at Evolution. I'd want to see that.

[Stephanie Vacair]

Yeah.

[Brie Bella]

Yeah.

[Nikki Bella]

Also I want to see you give my sister the devil's kiss. So you know I would pay for that too.

[Brie Bella]

Hey, I would love to be a heel in the division. Believe me, you know me. See, I thrive. I feel. I love. I love being a baby face. It's such a great connection. But I. I'm love being a heel. I think being a heel is so fun, character wise. And that was majority of my career it was being a heel, so. But it is fun when. When you naturally are baby Face because of the crowd. That's. That's always such a good feeling. Because I feel like with you as a baby face and even how I've been, we still get to be ourselves in a way. We're still sassy and fiery and you know, get to come out for sure. You know, so. Which I love.

[Nikki Bella]

It's fun. It's fun, fun, fun.

[Brie Bella]

It is.

[Nikki Bella]

You know something before we play, we do have a fun.

[Brie Bella]

We have a fun game.

[Nikki Bella]

But before we get into the game, my last question I have for you is you're really building in a strong, incredible legacy. At the end of the day, what do you want people to walk away and think of you? Wow.

[Brie Bella]

A lot of hard questions.

[Nikki Bella]

Yeah, I know. The nosy deep Bellas.

[Brie Bella]

Yeah.

[Stephanie Vacair]

I think you know La Primera means La Primera like first. The first. Yeah. La Primera means the first one. It's because I am the first South American woman and WWE and Japan and Mexico and title and a lot of things and I. Why can't explain that. It's like for me before I. I really want to come here and I really want to be a pro wrestler, but I. I know how people for say ah. Okay. I can follow these people. Latino or these people. Because nobody. Nobody.

[Brie Bella]

Yeah.

[Stephanie Vacair]

So I'm sorry, I don't know if you understand my broken English.

[Brie Bella]

No, I know. I totally get what you mean.

[Stephanie Vacair]

But for me I think what you say in English, I think pioneer piano like the first.

[Brie Bella]

Oh. Pioneer.

[Stephanie Vacair]

Pioneer, pioneer, pioneer. So for me it's. It's. This is important because I. I know it's hard and when you a woman more her. So I really appreciation before me long time ago like, like you, you too. Yeah you, you. Yeah. You did a lot thing for the women's division. So for me it's important. Yeah. And I, I appreciate you because now. Thank you. Now we can stay here and for me it's important now do something for the next generation. And the women's division grew up, grew up more. More and more.

[Nikki Bella]

For sure.

[Brie Bella]

I so agree and. And I love. Sorry Bri. You. You are. You're right. You are totally paving your own way. You are someone who is in like when you say the first one. You are self made. You came from a country that I can only imagine especially the women and young girls that you are giving hope. But you never took no for an answer. Right. And you to take that jump of going here. I'm in Chile now I'm going to go to Japan and Mexico. That's massive. People don't just move to countries, don't know the language and are like I am going to Learn this. You are rare. You are a first one. And not to have like you had your dad as inspiration and it wasn't like it was a wrestling family or a wrestling background. It was just my baby girl has these dreams and I'm going to support her. And I think that's so beautiful. And this is what I'm loving about the women's division is. And it makes you proud then of our Blood, Sweat and tears is like you all take it to such the way next level but it's also your stories. It's. It's your grit and your grace and, and your own blood, sweat and tears and it's paving a whole new way for women but also the younger generation that are looking up to you and, and I do. And it's true the titles that you've won, no one else has. Like you are in your own world there and will be your own legacy.

[Nikki Bella]

And what I think is so great is to our listeners listening, even if you're not trying to make it as a wrestler, make it in life. Stephanie's story is very inspiring. She was told no seven years ago and it didn't stop her. Instead she went out there and she conquered many countries, came back being trilingual. I mean that I can't even be bilingual and I'm half Mexican. I'm like, it's awful. And like, you know, but what you did and for anyone in life who, you know is scared when they get told no and they think it's game over, you inspire people to keep going and so I really admire that. I'm going to be rooting for you because you're just starting here in WWE on that main roster and I cannot wait to see what you're capable of doing because we already see all the greatness. And I know with these women up there, you're going to make magic happen. So I'm excited.

[Brie Bella]

You will. And when we started this idea of, okay, let's, you know, leading up to evolution, let's bring women on and you were my first.

[Nikki Bella]

Like, I was like Nick, you.

[Brie Bella]

Yeah. I said no. Stephanie is my first choice. Like I really wanted, like, I fallen in love with this girl. She is amazing and watching her, I'm just in awe. Like I'm obsessed with your wrestling style and your confidence. Like I said in the ring, I'm just, I love all of it so much. And so, yes.

[Nikki Bella]

[Nikki Bella]

It was something about sacrificing, working hard, making prices.

It's so true. And even our moms who tune in can relate to that.
