Nikki Bella was recently interviewed by the New York Post. This was in order to promote the upcoming WWE Evolution PPV, where she will challenge Ronda Rousey for the RAW Women’s Championship.
During the interview, Nikki spoke about the perception that her relationship with John Cena helped her success in WWE. Below are some of the highlights of the interview.
Nikki on her relationship with John Cena getting credit for her success:
“I’ve grown thick-skinned to it. I just can’t wait for the day it can stop and not every promo towards me brings up my ex and I think it will [stop]. I think there will come a day for that, but maybe there won’t, but I do hope so.”
Nikki on the perception that she got ahead by dating Cena:
“I guess where it doesn’t make me angry or feel bad about myself is I know the hard work that I’ve done to get where I’m at. I know the stuff that … John didn’t do what everyone said. He was my biggest supporter. He gave me amazing advice. I’d pick his brain all the time, and that’s what he did for my career, [like] everyone who has that special person in their life…I think for me, this is the part where not only do men need to evolve, but [also] women that just because a woman is successful doesn’t mean it’s because of her man. I think it’s unfair.”
