Nikki Bella was recently interviewed by PWInsider at a Make-A-Wish Foundation event. During the interview she had some interesting comments about ‘Total Divas’ and the WWE Women’s Revolution. Comments that will certainly cause a bit of debate in the wrestling world.
Nikki said during the interview that: “I think [Total Divas] helped start the women’s revolution. Total Divas [led to] more women started coming to our show, like, ‘I gotta check this out”.
She says that the show doesn’t get the credit it deserves for helping to build the Women’s fanbase in WWE over the past few years.
She explained why she doesn’t think ‘Total Divas’ gets the proper credit:
“What is unfortunate is that when Total Divas was succeeding and we became a hit reality show, they let people with a mic in the ring just bash it and us Total Divas never got a response. So, with the fans, it began to give Total Divas a bad name, ‘Oh, they are just reality stars.’ Actually, while the girls who aren’t on the reality show are just wrestling, us girls on the reality show are wrestling, are filming, are never sleeping, going to appearances, making sure that the world knows how amazing women wrestlers are. So, I don’t feel Total Divas gets enough credit because the words ‘reality show’ has ruined it for people. I think certain people also, characters for the company, have ruined it as well out of pure jealousy. I’ll admit that.”
Some interesting comments for sure. Could she in-fact be referencing the infamous ‘Total Divas pipebomb’ by AJ Lee? Certainly seems that way.
