Welcome back everyone to another episode of the Nikki and Bri Show. And yes, this is part two of our WrestleMania. I guess.

[Bri]

What series? Wrestlemania. Like not ketchup. What's the called? Recap.

[Nikki]

Recap.

[Bri]

You guys. Let's remind each other again. Day 5 in Vegas Brain cells.

[Nikki]

I actually haven't even really drank. This is my third drink since I've been in Vegas.

[Bri]

Me too. I. You and I though matched well. Actually no, I lie. I had two margaritas last night with everyone in Celebrations. You weren't there.

[Nikki]

Get the Costa Playa ones here at the Wii.

[Bri]

No, but I have to before I leave. Where did we all go? Eat me Mazumi. Mizumi. Which is the Japanese restaurant at.

[Nikki]

Hey everyone.

[Bri]

We are here in Las Vegas. There's a. I call it the Strip. It's like the wind strip. Hey everyone. So they could hear us, which is so fun. That's always why we love being at the SiriusXM Studios in Las Vegas and why we love being at the win. I have to give a massive shout out to the Win because they've taken care a Brie and I like always. But also our family. They've been so good to all of us. You know we get a dine at all the restaurants that are amazing. Like last night we did the Japanese restaurant which you and Brian need to do. So it's Mizumi. They just kept bringing like dishes and you share with everyone. So we all got like a crispy spicy tuna or like a yellow tail or salmon or they did this like fried rice. Like there was all these dishes that were just unreal. This Amazing skewer. Like, just so many options. Do you know what I got last night? Margaritas.

[Goto Bank Advertiser]

So.

[Nikki]

Because I stayed at Airbnb last night, but mom, they had flower child by the Airbnb, so I got my Mother Earth bowl. And then they, you know, make those

[Bri]

so boring to get after Wrestlemania, I needed nutrients.

[Nikki]

And then do you know how they do the gluten free beet brownies? It was. And it was all like, wow, that

[Bri]

sounds like such a fun celebration. A beet brownie.

[Nikki]

I will say this. I. You know, my husband doesn't drink, so, like, I was craving, like a really good glass of red wine.

[Bri]

Mine.

[Nikki]

But unfortunately.

[Bri]

Have you not seen. I mean, do you guys know and mom know I doordashed Opus 1.

[Nikki]

Wait, what?

[Bri]

You were there too?

[Nikki]

Oh, I do.

[Bri]

Met last night, Texas, with Nana.

[Nikki]

Oh, yeah.

[Bri]

Opus One.

[Nikki]

I know. I was kind of nervous for you because if I was a doordasher, I'd be like, bye. I dropped it.

[Bri]

You gotta know, on the app it is if they don't. If they don't drop it, then I get refunded. So. So that'd be on them.

[Nikki]

Yeah, I guess that's true.

[Bri]

So shame on you.

[Nikki]

She had a door dash. You want to know what?

[Bri]

You literally won a championship at Wrestlemania. I would have had door dashed if I was in an Airbnb. I would have door dashed in a heartbeat. Dom P. Can I tell you what I did? An orange chicken.

[Nikki]

I played uno and sorry. And I cuddled the kids.

[Bri]

And now that's the hard thing. You had your kids in town, so I get it. You get a pass.

[Nikki]

Okay, I played uno and I'll say. The kids tried to cheat a little bit, and I was like, the champs in town, guys. And then they asked me, they go, oh, can we look and find some Bailey action?

[Bri]

I was gonna say, can you like, tell me you walked in and they put everyone else over but you?

[Nikki]

Yeah, I walked in. I was expecting, like, the biggest hip hip hooray.

[Bri]

I mean, did you have balloons? Did you have flowers?

[Nikki]

No, I had my Mother Earth bowl and I had a game of Uno ready for me. I was like, let me eat my bowl.

[Bri]

Uno. Just kidding.

[Nikki]

But I was like. And the Uno cards were like this big. Um, and they go, oh, my gosh, Auntie Breezy Mom. And I was like, hey. And they're like, hey, we would love some Bailey action figures. And I was like, oh, yeah, Bailey

[Bri]

is always the favorite. Always Bailey. It's insane. Yeah, she's always the kid's favorite. Yeah. Besides us no, I'm joking, actually, because our kids like her, but.

[Nikki]

Right.

[Bri]

Bailey or iOS guy.

[Nikki]

Well, and then Buddy was like, paige, man, love her. And. And Brian, like, looks at him, and he's like. And Buddy's like, what? Like, with this big old Uno card. Yeah. And I was like, no, I don't. I don't need them to rejoice me. Brian's like, you guys, how good did Mommy do? And everyone was, like, clapping then, okay,

[Bri]

but you know what? It kind of reminded me of when we were at dinner last night, and then I had to, like, say something to mom on the side, because then I felt. My heart felt so bad. But I was saying, like, the people that were there with me from the divorce. But I didn't say Mom's name, but I go. And then you tell me how no one says your name. And then I think of when Mateo never puts me over, and I'm like, I do so much for you. And I'm like, I just did that to my mom. Like, it's so weird what kids will actually do to their moms.

[Nikki]

And then I take granted.

[Bri]

But I did catch it in, like, two minutes. And then I said something to mom, like, mom. No, no, no. Like, I bugged you, like, so many times a day. I'm like, yeah, well, I. And then it made me feel guilty. But then when you told me your story this morning, I was like, we. Why do we do this to our moms? No wonder they just want to have meltdowns at times, because it's like, I. I did everything for you.

[Nikki]

But I will say it was cute, because V. My niece, I could tell she was, like, very excited. I walked in, and actually, Alice wanted to. My other niece wanted to come out with Brian and help me with my luggage.

[Bri]

And, you know Alice with the biggest fans.

[Nikki]

Alice is like, when my Uber pulled up, Alice is like.

[Bri]

She has a permanent smile when she sees this now. And she kind of had.

[Nikki]

It must have had, like, a Kool Aid mustache or something. Like, she had, like, something. And then. Oh, my gosh.

[Bri]

I love, by the way, that you

[Nikki]

said, actually, all of you guys are gonna love this. So, Brian, they all wanted Boba.

[Bri]

So Brian, you know, this is Mateo's obsession. But for a while.

[Nikki]

But the doordash took a little bit. Brian goes, it was melted, Boba. I was dying because it's so bright. Time it got there, and everyone goes, yay, Boba. And Brian goes, you guys, it's actually too late, so I'm gonna stick them in the fridge and we'll have them after breakfast tomorrow.

[Bri]

Brie.

[Nikki]

No. And he's.

[Bri]

Brie.

[Nikki]

No, he stuck to it. No, he. So when I was.

[Bri]

First of all, they're like slushies.

[Nikki]

No, Nicole.

[Bri]

I know.

[Nikki]

So when I walked in, Birdie goes,

[Bri]

so Dan won't let us have boba.

[Nikki]

But he said we could order it. But then when he came, he said it was too late and we can't have sugar this late because he says,

[Bri]

there's sugar in the boba.

[Nikki]

And I go, brian, can the kids have boba? And he goes, yeah. He goes, no, it's too late. I was like, you ordered them boba after Wrestlemania? And then it. And they all were in the fridge and the kids all drank them this morning. Melted. It was disgusting. It was so disgusting. I know. And Brian couldn't believe I ordered them donuts. I go, this is my thing.

[Bri]

Even when you're a strict parent, when you're on vacay and it's Wrestlemania weekend, we just gotta let some rules, like, slip away.

[Nikki]

I mean, there was a lot of anxiety for him. He goes, birdie had a sip of one of the kids Cokes and now she knows what Coca Cola tastes like.

[Bri]

Oh, well.

[Nikki]

And I go, brian, we'll talk to her about it. He was like freaked out.

[Bri]

Oh, it's. You know.

[Nikki]

But anyways, I got to buy like four Bailey action figures. Someone threw out Ria. Then Buddy was like, paige? And I'm like, okay, give me the list.

[Bri]

Oh yeah, we just need to like, like pay Bailey to like do like a birthday party or something.

[Nikki]

Like, please. Actually, we're going to do that.

[Bri]

We're going to.

[Nikki]

Come on, come on. Give us a price.

[Nikki]

Okay, so I told all of you in the last episode, we got to talk about the outfits at WrestleMania because.

[Bri]

Okay, I'm not gonna tell you who stole the show.

[Nikki]

Was crying at this.

[Bri]

Oh, well, can you give a text? Let us see it.

[Nikki]

Watch it, Save it. Dang it. Nope.

[Bri]

Okay, so you're literally gonna talk about a reel that. No, Everyone will know.

[Nikki]

So this husband's filming. He goes watching WrestleMania. And when I see the irresistible forces come out, I instantly looked at my wife and he went like this. And she was wearing the red light mask, the big white mask. And he goes. And then she stares at him like this, and you hear him burst out laughing. And then he goes back to the screen, and they're walking down.

[Bri]

That is actually amaz, because, you know,

[Nikki]

I wear it all the time. Yeah, I burst it out laughing because I didn't know what he was going to show. And you see his wife like this, by the way. And then. So she probably didn't know what he was filming, but the way she turned and, like, looked at him, I go,

[Bri]

how did you not save that?

[Nikki]

I feel like I DM'd you maybe.

[Bri]

Okay.

[Nikki]

I don't know. I was like, buddy was asleep and I was in the dark. Just trying to get a little last couple looks.

[Bri]

Yeah, but it's so easy to hit the book mark save. I know. You know?

[Nikki]

I know. But anyways, so then I, like, had to, like, go and start looking at, like, other stuff, and I was dying. But I have to say, Charlotte and Alexa's gear, they stole.

[Bri]

Not only did they steal the show, they stole, like, anyone who's ever gonna do a WrestleMania entrance ever. It looked so iconic, and it was

[Nikki]

so perfect for their personalities, them being, like, these best friends. But, like, do we like each other doing that? But you can tell they do. And having Alexa Bliss as the moth and really paying, you know, homage to Bray Wyatt and, like, what she wrote on back of those moth wings, I was just like, oh, my gosh. Gives me goosebumps. And then seeing Charlotte as a butterfly, I'm like. I was like, that's exactly what you guys are. The moth and the butterfly. I mean, it was iconic, and the outfits were so great.

[Bri]

They looked insane. Walking out, it made me be like, I thought I put effort, but I did not.

[Nikki]

I, like, looked at myself in the mirror, and I was like, okay. But it's like, should I.

[Bri]

Well, the best is Paige, Brie and I were like, we're gonna do it up for SummerSlam. We're going so full out, which I don't even know what we do because our. We don't.

[Nikki]

Or even if we make it to SummerSlam, we never know.

[Bri]

Well, I mean, actually, it's just wishful thinking. It's. After you see that, you're like, whenever I get another big, big entrance, which we had so many, but they looked so amazing. I mean, everyone looked amazing. The girls in our. It was, like, epic. Well, and I. Stephanie Vacquer's entrance was.

[Nikki]

Oh, my gosh. It reminded me of, like, Coco or, like, you know, one of those movies.

[Bri]

Beautiful.

[Nikki]

And how they shot it from the angle. So to see were they, like, rose petals that were coming down. I mean, I know it was confetti,

[Bri]

but it kind of like rose petals.

[Nikki]

Her, like, long jacket thing, that was.

[Bri]

That was incredible. I loved that one.

[Nikki]

Yeah. And Liv Morgan loved it. I give her a lot of credit because you have so much anxiety going into your match. At least I do. I get really nervous.

[Bri]

But for her to have to do

[Nikki]

a performance, a dancing performance, and then go into a match, I was like, I give you all the credit in the world.

[Bri]

All the credit.

[Nikki]

But I. You know, it's been really fun to see her really evolve her character.

[Bri]

Yeah. It's such a fun character to have in wwe. It's so awesome. I love it.

[Nikki]

I would like to know what Dirty Dom thought about the man swinging around.

[Bri]

Like, they needed to teach him how to do that, because that is what would have been. So. It would have been a huge pop if she. If Dom was that guy.

[Nikki]

But you really do have to be a dancer, right?

[Bri]

I don't.

[Nikki]

That guy did it perfect.

[Bri]

Think of, like, Dancing with the Stars people, they have, like, six days to learn something. I guess they should have put him through that training. When you think about it, she's kind of doing the dancing part. The guy's just having to hold her and make sure she goes left and right and up and whatever. He just needs to be the base.

[Nikki]

Yeah.

[Bri]

I felt like he could have learned it. I just think they probably don't want Dom as a champion looking like he's doing, like, dance moves. I'm sure.

[Nikki]

Yeah.

[Bri]

But what I think would have been even cooler. This is just me, how I get into it. Because it's WrestleMania. Like, if it was like, Fandango, like, you know, when we get those little moments of WrestleMania of, like, people from the past, like, can you imagine if it was him doing that, too?

[Nikki]

That actually would have been really good.

[Bri]

That would have been epic. Yeah. And the crowd, because remember how popular it was with the overseas fans? The crowd would have lost it. If it was Fandango, that actually would have been. So I would have had, like, Fandango,

[Nikki]

especially the, like, little bit of his music in there.

[Bri]

Yeah, yeah.

[Nikki]

That actually would have been really great. And, you know, there was.

[Bri]

Hey, I'm, like, holding. I like.

[Nikki]

You always just, like. It's funny because you're waving, and I always have to turn and look and see, but I'm trying to think. There was a lot of entrance. I mean, AJ's was super cute.

[Bri]

Oh, I love that.

[Nikki]

And that she had her nieces, and

[Bri]

they were having so much fun backstage. Yeah.

[Nikki]

Little girls and Becky with, you know, her band.

[Bri]

Oh, I know.

[Nikki]

So that's the fun part about Go Eagles. I know.

[Bri]

Loved how they were.

[Nikki]

Huge Eagles fan.

[Bri]

Huge Eagle fans. Die hards.

[Nikki]

Yeah. I always, like, when you're somewhere, I'm like, the last place I thought it'd be would be backstage at WrestleMania. And I hear a Go Birds. Yeah, it's like when you hear Go

[Bri]

Birds over Go Eagles, you know, they're, like, from Philly fans. Like, they're like, Philly fans say, go, Birds. Like, and he was like, yeah, we're all from Philly. Like, us, I feel like, who are Philly fans that were, like, born and raised somewhere else? We say Go Eagles. They're always like, go, Birds.

[Nikki]

Yeah.

[Bri]

You know, for sure. And then that accent.

[Nikki]

But yeah. And I'm trying to think who else? What other entrances.

[Bri]

Well, what would you do for your

[Nikki]

entrance if you could?

[Bri]

I would do, like, a pep rally that, like, fits Me, I would have, like, almost like we did for evolution when we did the belt, the pep rally the night before. Like, we had Bella Bear out. Like, I would do, like, full on have, like, the guy flag people, like a football game come out with, like, bell army flags. And I would have cheerleaders, like, come out, and I would have that mascot, the Bella Bear. And so. And then before I'd go down and have, you know, all the cheerleaders just, like, before the football players come out. Oh, maybe that's what I would do. I come out and I come out through, like, a paper. But I would make it, like, super, like, pep rally vibes.

[Nikki]

See, I would have done bottle service and, you know, and like this.

[Bri]

Actually, when you said that, that was pretty. And like, Scott. Scott had that idea originally.

[Nikki]

And the big, like, you know when

[Bri]

they'll write, like, Las Vegas stuff? How they write, like, like, happy birthday to something or what, but, like, and then had a security guy with a

[Nikki]

red rope and he opens it, and then you head down.

[Bri]

Okay, Like, I would do that. So if it was a tag, like, if it was like, last night, I would do that for you. Especially be in Las Vegas. I would do that feel with.

[Nikki]

And I thought it'd be cool to see, like, divas at, like, little tables.

[Bri]

Oh, I said that idea.

[Nikki]

I don't think you did.

[Bri]

Yes, I did. I told you that when we were all talking about it. I said we should. We would have to have past divas. I did say that.

[Nikki]

I don't know.

[Bri]

We all had I did Ideas. Yeah, I said that. I did. Yeah.

[Nikki]

I don't know, the whole, like. I guess I'm not the really game day style person.

[Bri]

No. If it was solo for me, I would have done pep rally game day feels. Yeah, that would have been very you. It actually wouldn't, like, iconic to have, like, actual, like, announcers to the left side, like, have, like, Gronk and Strahan and like, other people. Terry Crews, like. And there she is. She's about to make her way down the ramp.

[Nikki]

You know who I noticed on the screen a lot was George Kittle.

[Bri]

Oh, I didn't, I didn't notice him

[Nikki]

once behind the commentators. And I will say, oh really? He was so into it the whole time. I think he stole someone's beer and like he's obsessed.

[Bri]

I know.

[Nikki]

But he, I was like, I kept, he kept standing out. I'm like, George Kittle is getting crazy. It was actually. I almost wish I knew where he was sitting when I walked out.

[Bri]

Yeah.

[Nikki]

Because I would have like yelled something at him but like he was very into the match the whole time.

[Bri]

Oh, chugging beers. I didn't, I, I totally missed him. But this is the thing is if I wasn't in a certain section watching, I was watching everyone. You know how they had their phones and backstage.

[Nikki]

But you, oh, you're watching on a phone.

[Bri]

Unless I was in the locker room. But, but you have to think I had to go get my stitches out and they didn't have it in the training room. So the whole time I was in the training room, I couldn't, I couldn't watch the show. So I feel I could hear the show.

[Nikki]

Yeah.

[Bri]

And getting those stitches out was not fun. But that's okay.

[Nikki]

No, I was so I was kind of in there. I felt like a lot. Yeah. And it was like I kept just noticing he was, he was chugging beers.

[Narrator/Advertiser]

A lot of beers.

[Bri]

Three beers. That's amazing. I would do this thing.

[Nikki]

Like he stands out because he's a big guy. You forget how like mass he is. But yeah, I was like, oh, there's George Kittle chugging a beer. I Would have been right there.

[Bri]

I should get rehab tips from him. Actually, you know, I. I will say our. The person who. The therapist we have in Napa Valley. He is so incredible. And I just, you know, I. This journey, it's actually not going to be too long. You know what I mean? But I'm gonna, I'm gonna come back even better.

[Nikki]

Well, what do you want for the future? Like, what is it you want when you come back?

[Bri]

To kick your ass?

[Nikki]

Mine.

[Bri]

I'm joking. Geez. So what I want is I wanna, I'm gonna take this time to really one, like, mentally mindset wise, regroup and know, like, here's the game plan, here's your end date. And these are the things that I want to achieve before that end date. So how do I get there? That's mindset. And as far as like my body, I'm gonna work with Katie, our trainer, on keeping my arms and shoulders strong, my core strong. What can I do for my quads and my glutes to keep that strong? Why I'm rehabbing my ankle to be with my therapist all the time on rehabbing my ankle and knowing like my bones growing the strongest. What I've already done is already have talked to a doctor and I've already gotten the peptides that are at my house. The peptides. He told me all the vitamins to take that will help my ligaments and my bones grow as strong as possible. So I'm just gonna focus on that especially for the next six to eight weeks. And I'm gonna get an X ray in eight weeks. If it's not ready yet, I'm just gonna keep doing all those things and you know, but it might be ready yet and then I might be back. But I'm gonna take these the next six to eight weeks to focus on that. And I, I still want to achieve, you know, with you. I really, like, have that dream with like our kids and we have those moments and the moments that you and I want, like, I really want the full circle moment with you, of course. And I really would love to do maybe one more solo run. And I, I'm kind of excited for you because you've been crushing it in the ring. I think this is gonna be a great time for you, Bri, to really showcase what you have. So I think people get focused on Nikki and Bri. Nikki and Bri. And so I think right now will be Bri and then I think people will be really excited for the comeback. But I want this comeback to be epic because it's going to be my last one in the ring. Yeah.

[Nikki]

Well, it was really funny because our life coach, Carrie, she came to WrestleMania and I was asking. I'm like, what is it? Like, why is it. You know, it was just Nikki solo, and I just feel like a lot of it's been like, I get pregnant, Nikki solo. And then whenever or before that, when it. Before I got pregnant, it was your neck surgery. And then all of a sudden, I get pregnant. I know it just kept going back and forth, back and forth of, like, these solo things. And I go. And here we are back at it again, where it was like, Nikki had her year. I come back, all of a sudden, she's injured, and I'm just like. Feels like a lot of solos.

[Bri]

And I gotta admit, I just wanna do my last run as a heel. I don't wanna be a baby face. I like being a baby face. What's hard for you? It's very hard. But I want character work. I want to be heal. I. And if you and I are together, I want to be Team Bella. I want to do what we were doing then. Yeah, that was fun. That was epic. I agree. And we have the stuff that you can do that with. Do you know what I mean? We have the resources and we have, like, it's very easy to come at us with things to be a big baby face.

[Nikki]

And we don't care.

[Bri]

And we don't care. So I really want that. But, Bri, if you were. Because, let's say, you know, you're. You're about to do a tag run and, you know, maybe solo, who knows? I mean, this is only gonna be six to eight weeks, and who knows? It might in three weeks be like, oh, you're fine, like, you're gonna come, whatever. But you have this last year and a half. What are like some WWE bucket list moments you would like to hit before it's all said and done?

[Nikki]

I mean, I really want to get in the ring with, you know, pretty much all the women. I mean, everyone's just so incredible. But, you know, people like Eosky, Rhea, Ripley, I, you know, I. I mean, just. I'm trying, you know, other tags. I mean, there's just so many people that, I mean, even I want to have a singles with Alexa Bliss. I have never had that. Like, we started to, you know, do some fun stuff. Bailey, like, begging to, you know, work. Bailey and Lyra, I'll tell you this, when I was the little taste I have gotten being in the ring with Bailey and Lyra they remind me of when I wrestle my husband. I literally feel like. It feels like the same.

[Bri]

Incredible.

[Nikki]

And it's the way, like, I even will lock up with them. It feels like a Brian lockup.

[Bri]

Yeah.

[Nikki]

Like, because my husband doesn't take it easy on me. But there's. It's. They move like him. You know, I. I, gosh. I mean, I just think of Kyrie, Oscar, the list goes on. Like, there's so much. Yeah. I mean, I even.

[Bri]

I look at Roxanne. It would be so fun to see

[Nikki]

you in Roxanne, Raquel and Roxanne. I just like Paige and I. You and I, we get to get into stories with all these different people. And so I'm really excited to see what happens.

[Bri]

Totally.

[Nikki]

But I've been dying to wrestle all of them because I haven't. Like, you've gotten some of them. Oh, I've had.

[Bri]

I mean, just think, I've wrestled Stephanie, and I wish Stephanie and I could have done even more. Like, when we all that triple threat. Like, I was getting in such a good pace. And I wish I could have kept going longer with Raquel and Stephanie because I really loved wrestling Raquel. I really loved wrestling with Stephanie. Raquel's strength is unlike anyone I've ever felt in the ring and incredible ideas. And Stephanie has such incredible ideas. And what's really cool about Stephanie is her ideas come from Japan and are, like, very worldly. And she's. It's just incredible. And I just wish she and I had more time. I felt like we were, like, we actually had. We're having great storytelling. I really loved having my matches with Roxanne as well as, like, Oscar. And I'm trying to think, who else before I left, but I got experience. So many of the girls, and it

[Nikki]

was, like, a lot of fun.

[Bri]

You know, I still would love to run it back with Liv. You know, we were. That's the whole reason I was coming back.

[Nikki]

And, you know, even, like, Chelsea Green and Maxine and.

[Bri]

Right.

[Nikki]

I really actually would love to go up against Natty and not Natalia, but Natty. Yeah.

[Narrator/Advertiser]

And that's someone too.

[Nikki]

Like, I'll say, you know, if Paige can do it, Natty could have stepped in, and that would have felt very true. And that would have felt really great as well.

[Bri]

And.

[Nikki]

But, you know, watching Natty and Shayna's match, I was like, oh, it might be fun to have, like, a little go with Natty.

[Bri]

I mean, Natty is incredible. Like, they should have. And maybe we'll see it tonight. On, you know, part, you know, WrestleMania night too. But they should have Natty do some run in on someone. Like I would even have the Natty character do a run in on like one of the guys. Oh yeah. I mean those are like the down WrestleMania moments. Yeah. Danhausen actually. That'd be so epic.

[Nikki]

They would actually have a great match.

[Bri]

I'm loving his gimmick.

[Nikki]

So good.

[Bri]

But by the way, this week how many people have been dressed up as him? Because that character like people are craving those like. And he's funny characters that like you're like I. It's just. Just what you wouldn't look like every day. And he's so great. He's so fun. And he's such a sweet guy too.

[Nikki]

I know.

[Bri]

It's so funny because the first time I remember seeing him backstage, a double like did a double take cuz I was like wait, is. Is that the Dan guy? Like cuz he's so different from like when he looks like. I was like wait, that's. Yeah.

[Nikki]

No, I agree with you.

[Narrator/Advertiser]

When I can do something that is environmentally smart, I am all about it.

[Nikki]

One thing I believe is that fashion

[Narrator/Advertiser]

has been hurting our planet. So I'm always trying to be mindful when I go shopping. But I have come across one of the greatest companies. They're called Nuuly. And you could literally rent clothes.

[Nikki]

Well, Nicole, WrestleMania is always that time of year that it comes and goes, even though it feels like so long, but then it's like, all sudden just done, and you're like, how is it done already?

[Bri]

I mean, the build up. You think of the whole buildup. The whole buildup up.

[Nikki]

And now, yeah, it's done. And so on to the next. Oh, gosh. You know, it's always a great time, and I feel like WrestleMania 42 is going to be a big highlight for us. I think this was a huge topper. It was.

[Bri]

Anytime you get a chance to be on that ramp and walk down it and be a part of what it is, like our super bowl, it's a memorable.

[Narrator/Advertiser]

It just.

[Bri]

It almost, like, still didn't feel real, right? Yeah, because, you know, we, you know,

[Nikki]

even Paige and I, we were talking, like, it just. Just didn't feel real.

[Bri]

I think for me. I. And I was like, why was I sold in the crutch? I wanted to let it go. And I was like, what am I? It just.

[Nikki]

When I watched the match pack, there's a couple things I wish I did differently. We always.

[Bri]

That's it. But nitpick. It was just still, like, surreal. I was like, this is just so weird.

[Nikki]

Yeah. And. Oh, I will say something really quick. When you were cutting your promo and starting to say, like, you can't compete, did you.

[Bri]

Okay, yeah.

[Nikki]

What?

[Bri]

No, wait. Say what?

[Nikki]

This.

[Bri]

Did you see the girl burst into tears?

[Nikki]

I. She was to my left.

[Bri]

I. I. That broke my heart.

[Nikki]

It was so sad. No, not say it's not true. Yeah, I was like, a bunch of them right there. Like, you.

[Bri]

And I was like, it literally broke my heart.

[Nikki]

Yeah. I. That was, like, devastating.

[Bri]

The feedback.

[Nikki]

I can, like, remember her face.

[Bri]

Yeah, the feedback on the mic.

[Nikki]

So you, you.

[Bri]

Okay, so. Because I'm talking on it. So anytime I'd say a word, it was like as if the word was already back at me. So it was me talking over myself, and I was like, why did no one tell me it was like this? It was so hard to even say those three sentences because the whole time, the sound's coming back at me. So it was. It Sound in my ears. It sounded like I was interrupting myself. Yeah.

[Nikki]

But I will say, Bella army has always had our back.

[Narrator/Advertiser]

We saw all of you when walking

[Nikki]

down the ramp, and Nikki and I were just like, wow, Bella army showed up at WrestleMania 42. We love all of you guys. Just seeing you at WWE World and, you know, all the different appearances, we saw a lot of you popping that bonita. Bonita.

[Bri]

I know. So all the feedback.

[Nikki]

Yeah. You know what I loved is someone goes, how do they not have Bremo doing a club appearance? I'm like, honestly, like, there's anyone you book in Vegas.

[Bri]

Yeah.

[Nikki]

You know, but. All right, you guys, it's been so much fun. More to come, you know, just on this journey with Nikki Healing, we're gonna get Paige on the show and just,

[Bri]

you know, hey, we're excited for. We're excited for your future, Bri.

[Nikki]

I know.

[Bri]

And mine. Both ours. It's gonna be a fun journey, but I'm excited to see what you guys are gonna be doing on tv. Yeah.

[Nikki]

Nikki, you take us out. A little inspiration and affirmation.

[Bri]

Well, you know what? You know what? I know.

[Narrator/Advertiser]

Tell us three words.

[Bri]

Never give up. Right. Sorry. That was the first thing that came to my head. We all go through ups and downs, right? We all have struggles. Things can happen in our path that we don't see. It's like, oh, I work so hard for this promotion. I work so hard for this WrestleMania moment. I work so hard to buy this home. And sometimes things fall through and we don't see it. But like you said in the last episode, it's about the bigger picture. It's stepping back and going, what's the. Why is this happening? And not making it a negative, but knowing, like, okay, there could be a reason. Maybe this home wasn't meant for me. Maybe I'm no longer meant to be at this career, you know, And I didn't get this promotion because I'm supposed to be somewhere else. Or maybe I wasn't just supposed to be in that ring at WrestleMania. It doesn't mean life's over. You did something wrong. The company did something wrong, your boss, the real estate agent, whatever it might be. It's like, just don't give up, because what is meant for you will come to you. But if you get closed off and you get negative, that thing isn't going to come to you anymore. Doors are always going to open. When a door shut doesn't mean all the doors are shut. So just never give up on the dream. It's going to be for you. And sometimes the dreams that you want aren't meant for you, and that's okay. You know, I've had very. I have had a lot of dreams. You know, I remember sitting. I thought I was Gonna be a supermodel. And I realized that five, six and thick thighs. I was meant to be a soccer player. You know, this is just. It was great to know I wanted that at one point. And, you know, then I saw me and I got inspired in a completely different way as a little girl, and that made me an incredible athlete. So, like, you just. You can't give up. And.

[Nikki]

And, you know, it reminds me, like, you just talking about not giving up on your dreams. You remember when Brian said, fight for your dreams and your dreams will fight for you?

[Bri]

Yeah.

[Nikki]

And it's true.

[Bri]

It's really true.

[Nikki]

It's like, you got. You got to keep fighting.

[Bri]

Got to keep fighting. Yeah. And it will come and. And in the way that's not going to stress you out, make you cry, or put you in a victim mode. Like, oh, why me? You know, just keep fighting. Trust me, it's going to be there.

[Nikki]

Even though I said, why me? When the kids Woke up at 6am this morning.

[Bri]

Why me? That's how I felt when again, I woke up at like 2 or 3am why me?

[Nikki]

I have no kids here. Can't I sleep eight hours? And then they're like swimming and I'm like, at 6:30, they did. And Buddy's, like, shivering. He's like. And I'm like, you're cold. He's like, no, I'm not. I'm like, you're cold?

[Bri]

Yeah. You know the one bummer about getting my stitches out? I still can't get in a Jacuzzi for like 10 days or a sauna.

[Nikki]

Yeah, 10 days goes so fast.

[Bri]

But I was like, why me?

[Nikki]

Just kidding. You're so stupid.

[Bri]

I know.

[Nikki]
