Nikki Bella Says She Has To Be Prepared For If More Segments Get Cut From WWE TV
Nikki Bella has discussed needing to be prepared for segments to be cut.
On August 6, The Bella Twins revealed on the Nikki And Brie Show that a video package for their SummerSlam match alongside Paige had been cut from SmackDown. The duo said they were told what they filmed would instead be uploaded to social media, although neither saw it online, leading to frustration among their fans. As a result, Nikki has now discussed her mindset going forward.
Speaking on the latest Nikki And Brie Show, the former Divas Champion opened up on the possibility of segments being cut, saying she and Paige have enough star power to ruffle feathers if it continues.
“At this point, if it turns into an online story, why not? I was just brainstorming yesterday, preparing. It kind of brought me back to a decade ago. I need to be prepared for these things now that might get cut. I was like, ‘Hey, we always made the most of things. It’s how we fought and made us want to break barriers more.’ I was getting very creative. It would almost be great to keep getting cut and making this an online thing with Paige because we do have so much equity and star power. Then I started thinking we come from the reality era, too. We’ve done so much that goes beyond the ring. It’ll work. I have a lot of ideas, and I’m just prepared for whatever happens and to really just ruffle feathers. I’m gonna watch all these movies of these gaslighting men and be taking notes.”

The Bellas and Paige lost their six-woman tag team match against Fatal Influence at SummerSlam, with Nikki and Brie attacking their partner after the match to set up the best feud. However, with the Brit set to respond to the betrayal on last week’s SmackDown, the Brit also fell victim to her segment being moved to social media instead of being broadcast on the show.
Plus, the feud between The Bellas and Paige suffered an immediate setback when Brie unfortunately suffered an injury during their SummerSlam match. Recently, the star gave an update on her status and how long she thinks she’ll be out of action, you can read more about that here.
As always, we’ll aim to provide any further updates on Nikki Bella and Paige as soon as we hear more.
