Nikki Bella Admits Online Hatred Almost Stopped Her From Using Signature Move

While speaking on the Nikki and Brie Show, Nikki Bella opened up about the online hate she received after botching her volley kick during her match against Becky Lynch at Clash in Paris, and how that moment almost stopped her from using the move again. Heading into her Raw match against Asuka, she told her producer and a coach that she didnt feel like attempting the volley kick because of the backlash.

One of WWEs veteran coaches, a wrestling legend, encouraged her to go for it anyway. He reminded Bella that the move had been built up over many years and that one bad night shouldnt end it.

The producer explained that during his era there was no social media, so when something failed in the ring, wrestlers simply tried again without fear of online criticism. For him, failure was just part of the process and never a reason to abandon a move.

With support from her producer, Nikki Bella decided to trust the advice and hit the volley kick on Raw this week, successfully landing it. She said the experience taught her a lesson that goes beyond wrestling.

Bella noted that social media can magnify failure and create insecurities that discourage people from trying again, but having someone push her to step out of her comfort zone reminded her of the importance of perseverance.

Nikki Bella actually ended up having a pretty solid match with the Empress of Tomorrow on the September 8th edition of Raw, even though she tapped out to Asuka. So now well have to see how Bella will continue to be booked in the coming weeks, as the skys the limit for her.
