Nikki Bella Talks Not Defending the Divas Title Every Week on Raw, the Divas Revolution in WWE, Her Angle with Brie and More

August 23, 2015

WWE Divas Champion Nikki Bella was recently interviewed by Chicago Now to promote tonight’s WWE SummerSlam PPV, and below are some highlights:

On the Divas Revolution in WWE:

“I think it has gone amazing. I think I have done a lot of great stories. It all started with me turning on my sister and that whole story with Stephanie McMahon. It wasn’t only a great story for the WWE but for woman in our industry. The story started with Daniel Bryan and it was so real and felt so captured by it. To be a part of the big turn at SummerSlam last year and have amazing promos with them was just great. I wasn’t happy on how they ended the story-line with my sister, but I won the Divas Championship and it has opened doors for many more great stories.”

On not defending the Divas Title every week:

“Do I think my title should be defended every Monday Night like the U.S Championship is? Absolutely not. That’s not what this title is about. That’s what works for John’s championship but it’s not for me. Having my sister by my side and acting like two brats and telling others ‘You can’t touch us’ has started that NXT revolution. Look at what the reign has done and it keeps giving more and more to the WWE Universe. I am so proud to be a part of this experience and ultimately honored.”

Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.

Nick attended New York University and graduated in 2001 with a degree in Drama.

Nick first entered the internet wrestling community back in 2004 when he became the co-host of The Voice of Wrestling Radio Show. From there, Nick made the transition from radio personality to editor when he began working with WrestleZone in 2008.

Nick is a member of two Off-Broadway theatre companies, Another Urban Riff, and the Drama Desk Award winning Godlight Theatre Company.

Inspiration in his life has come from many people including his family, Woody Allen, Steven Spielberg, Jack Nicholson, The Beatles, and of course, Lassie.
