Nikki Bellas signature booty shake during her entrance has always drawn eyeballs and now she has revealed why she came up with it in the first place.
While speaking on the Nikki and Brie Show, Nikki Bella explained how her famous booty shake entrance started. During the days when wrestling was only on network television and women were treated poorly, she needed something that would get attention the moment she walked out.
Being twins helped, but she and Brie talked with Dr. Tom about finding other ways to stand out. That led to the pose, the backflip and eventually the booty shake; all meant to grab attention, connect with the audience, and make viewers stop changing the channel. She said the move stuck with her over time and has become a timeless part of her identity.
Nikki also admitted that it hasnt gotten easier. She joked that her hips dont move the way they used to, so she has to stretch more to pull it off. She explained that she times the booty shake to a specific beat in her entrance music, but the walk to the ring is now longer than it used to be.
Because of that, shes considering starting a few steps ahead of the curtain so she can hit the move at the right moment.
Whether she first used it to grab attention or stop fans from switching channels, Nikki Bellas signature booty shake has become a memorable part of WWE history and shes clearly not planning to give it up anytime soon.
