Season 25 of ABC’s Dancing with the Stars is underway and WWE Superstar Nikki Bella performed her first dance number on Monday night from Los Angeles.
Along with her professional pareter Artem Chigvintsev, the duo danced a tango to the Pink song “So What.” At the end of the routine, Nikki showed off her pro wrestling side by picking up her partner and slamming him to the ground.
That was for you @WWE & #BellaArmy ????? Love you all SO much! Fearless Forever! N #TeamSmackdown #DWTS

Nikki and Artem received a score of 20 out of 30 from the judges. They will perform a ballroom dance number next week, the first week of eliminations.
Backstage after the performance, Nikki told DWTS correspondent Erin Andrews, “It’s definitely difficult. I’m used to body slamming girls for a living, so coming out here and being graceful and putting on a dress and heels is tough.”
