  • Nikki Bella Avoiding Surgery For Career-Threatening Neck Injury

    Nikki Bella is dealing with a career-threatening neck injury and doing whatever it takes to avoid surgery, according to an exclusive report at Pro Wrestling Sheet.

    WWE’s longest reigning Divas champion has bulging discs in her neck that are pushing on on her spinal cord. The bulging discs have produced excess fluid in her central nervous system. Had she continued wrestling with the injury, a bad bump could have left her paralyzed.

    Nikki is undergoing vigorous physical rehabilitation up to 8 time a day to alleviate the bulging discs.

    We wish her a speedy recovery.

    Rehabilitation on my neck. 8 times a day. I can do it. #stayfearless

  • Dolph Ziggler Says Current Era Beats Attitude Era, Bothering Cena With His Storyline

    Dolph Ziggler recently spoke with Sam Roberts for the Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast. Here are some of the highlights of what DZ said about:

    Why he thinks the current WWE roster is better than the Attitude Era roster: “I get a lot of crap for saying that my generation and behind us, [who] are on the way up [to the main roster], are so good that it’s not even close and you can complain and argue about everything ever, but, cool, the Attitude Era, wrestling was really in for 18 to 34 year olds who, like, love it and now we have all these guys who are so awesome at their job and it’s a totally different era, but I’m very excited for how good everyone is.”

    Finally getting some character development in WWE: “For the longest time I was in random cold matches for 30 minutes and tore the house down for no reason and everyone complained, ‘why isn’t he in some kind of a story?’ Now I’m in a very different type of story on [WWE Monday Night RAW, WWE Smackdown, and Total Divas] and everyone’s like, ‘can’t he just get two [segment] matches?’” Ziggler continued, “I’m finally getting some character development! It’s on Total Divas, but we’re getting down to some real life stuff and it’s pretty good!”

    His thoughts on John Cena not liking his storyline on Total Divas: “After a while, you reach a certain point to where you know what your talent is, you know what you’re capable of, and you have to not care. And 10 years ago, Attitude Era guys told me to step on some toes. How am I not doing that right now? You have to not give a damn to stand up for what you want to do and that’s what I’m doing.”

  • The Bella Twins Talk About What They Love Most About Working For WWE

    WWE Divas The Bella Twins recently took part in a Q&A with the “Move, Nourish, Believe” website. Below are some of the highlights from the interview.

    On if they have always been into health & fitness or if there was an “aha” moment:

    Nikki: “I grew up as an athlete and in an athletic family. I was always familiar with workouts, hard work and eating right, but honestly the major ‘aha’ moment of truly eating right was when I started dating my boyfriend, John Cena. He just showed me a whole new way of life, a way to truly enjoy eating right and working out. I feel I can finally see the results physically that I have always wanted.”

    Brie: “Like Nikki said, we were athletes growing up so we were always fit, but I wasn’t really educated in health. We grew up in a farming family so I always ate non-processed food and fresh produce. It wasn’t until I lived on my own that I realized how hard it was to eat healthy at a low cost with a busy schedule. At around 20 years old I started to educate myself on nutrition. I’m so grateful that I taught myself the importance of health and fitness in my early twenties. I created a lifestyle that I love and because of that I’ve never had to diet.”

    On what they love most about their jobs:

    Nikki: “Kicking butt! Haha! I love the competition in the ring and always doing what I can to improve as a WWE Diva (a female wrestler). I also absolutely love the fans and live crowds. The energy is so amazing – unlike anything I have ever experienced before! Oh and we travel the world which I love to do! Not very many jobs take you worldwide.”

    Brie: “Empowering Women. I love dominating in what’s been considered man’s world and showing them that women are equal talent. When I stand in that ring after a match I feel like the strongest ME! It’s truly the greatest feeling.”

  • ROH Star Backstage At RAW, Becky Lynch Talks Divas Storylines, WWE Legends Jackets

    – Ring Of Honor performer Cheeseburger was backstage at the WWE live event in Trenton, New Jersey on Friday evening. According to PWInsider.com, Cheeseburger was at the show to hang out, particularly with Chris Jericho, who has been praising him on social media as of late.

    – WWE has signed a new licensing agreement with Chalk Link to produce new WWE Legends “Fanimation” jackets for “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, Ultimate Warrior, “Macho Man” Randy Savage, Andre the Giant, Ric Flair and “The Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase.

    – The following RAW Fallout video features Becky Lynch talking to Eden backstage at the show. Lynch comments on Paige losing to Natalya on RAW and Charlotte defending her WWE Divas Championship against Nikki Bella at WWE Hell In A Cell.

  • Charlotte To Defend The Divas Championship Against Nikki Bella At Hell In A Cell

    WWE has confirmed that Charlotte will defend the Divas Championship against Nikki Bella at Hell in a Cell.

    The match preview at WWE.com teases, “With her first title defense looming, could Team PCB’s recent turmoil distract Charlotte from holding on to her title? Or can she prevent Nikki Bella from reclaiming the title she held for 301 days?”

    As recently as this morning, there had been speculation that Charlotte would be defending her gold in a 3-way or 4-way match that would have also included Paige and Sasha Banks. We’ll see if anybody else gets added to this match as we get closer to the PPV, but Nikki Bella has secured her shot at redemption later this month.

    WWE Hell in a Cell takes place on Sunday, October 25th from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California.

  • WWE Changes Plans For Hell In A Cell Divas Title Match, Teaser For RAW

    Originally, WWE’s plan for the October 25th WWE Hell In A Cell pay-per-view was to have Charlotte defend the WWE Divas Championship against Paige and Nikki Bella in a triple-threat match.

    There has been speculation as of late, however, that Banks may be added in with Paige and Bella, making Charlotte’s defense a fatal four way.

    It looks like the angle may play out on tonight’s WWE RAW. WWE posted the following teaser for tonight’s show:

    Paige’s streak of stealing the spotlight ceased at Madison Square Garden on Saturday when Charlotte and Becky Lynch turned the tables on her by abandoning her during their match against Team Bella. However, while that situation continues to develop, the members of Team B.A.D. are stealthily positioning themselves as a serious threat to Charlotte’s Divas Championship reign. In SmackDown’s Six-Diva Tag Team Match, Team B.A.D. defeated Team Bella when Sasha Banks made Nikki Bella — the longest-reigning Divas Champion of all time — tap out to the Bank Statement.

    As the Divas division continues to implode, will Team B.A.D. continue to capitalize on the chaos this week?

  • Lana & Nikki Bella Exchanging Trash Talk On Twitter

    One of the main storylines teased for tonight’s Total Divas season finale is that Dolph Ziggler still has feelings for his ex-girlfriend Nikki Bella, who is currently dating John Cena. Lana, who had been romantically linked to Ziggler on WWE TV, had this exchange with Nikki:

  • Nikki Bella Says John Cena Has Nothing To Do With Her Success – “He Has Zero Pull”

    Former WWE Divas Champion Nikki Bella spoke with Channel Guide Magazine to promote Tuesday night’s Total Divas season finale on the E! Network.

    During the interview, Nikki addressed the rumor that the only reason she was the longest reigning Divas Champion in history is because her boyfriend John Cena used his influence to make it happen. Nikki said:

    “I ignore it. Even though I see the hate on social media, and it shocks me. It shocks me the rumors people start, that I have the title because of my boyfriend. If that was the case, I would have gotten the title when I came back years ago and still had the title. He has nothing to do with it. He has nothing to do with anyone’s story or anything like that. He has zero pull. We talk about it all the time because it’s funny how people say that.

    Nikki said that one of the main reasons AJ Lee has such a long title run was because Vince McMahon originally didn’t want any of the Total Divas cast members holding the Divas Championship. At the time, Vince didn’t like the idea of the Divas Champion going back and forth between the WWE Universe and “reality” TV. She raised the issue of a Divas Champion losing the title during an ongoing season of the show and the former champion appearing on pre-taped episodes as champion.

    She also talked about losing the Divas Championship to Charlotte earlier this month:

    “When you think about it we had maybe a week to two weeks to push this. So knowing the title change was going to happen, I thought, ‘We could give them a really good match, but are they going to be that behind her? Are they going to think maybe she shouldn’t have gotten the title yet?’ I felt what we did that Monday night really got the crowd behind her.

    “They really started to believe in her. As a bad guy that can’t get disqualified or if I do get disqualified I lose my title or counted out, I had to work smart [at Night of Champions]. So if I see a body part hurt, I’m going to take advantage of it. Then the good guy overcomes it in the end. That was the story we wanted to tell, and it worked out. We got them behind her. I was really happy with it. Don’t get me wrong. I miss my championship. It was a very lonely evening and in the morning.”

    Filming for Season 5 of Total Divas is already underway and will begin airing in early 2016.
