On the July 14 episode of WWE RAW, Nikki Bella tried a hit move that once broke her neck, and now she has explained why she attempted that move in the first place.
While speaking on the Raw Recap show, Nikki Bella talked about her match against Chelsea Green on Raw, explaining how exhausted she was but still gave it everything she had.
Backstage, people kept telling her it would be like riding an old bike. She admitted it was, except it felt like riding such an old bike that she ended up putting Chelsea in her original Rack Attack, which was the very move that once broke her neck.
Bella said she hadnt done that move since 2016, so it was strange how naturally she turned Chelsea and set it up. In that split second, she thought about how this was exactly what had caused her career-threatening injury and wondered what she was doing.
Even after coming back from her neck surgery, Bella never attempted that move again, so she found it wild and frustrating how instinctively it came back. Chelsea even checked on her, asking if she was okay.
Nikki Bella also mentioned how it was crazy because at the Evolution Battle Royal, she used the safer Rack Attack 2.0 on Chelsea Green, but on Raw she was in singles form. That rush of Im going to win this took her right back to the mindset she had before her injury. For a brief moment, she considered that maybe shed be fine if she did it slightly differently, but shes glad she didnt take that risk.
Fans are just glad Nikki Bella won her match against Chelsea Green and didnt get injured in the process. Now well have to wait and see what WWE has planned for her as we approach SummerSlam in August.
