Last week, Nikki Bella made a surprise return to the WWE realm when she attended the Netflix premiere of “WWE Raw.” Naturally, this resurgence has come with plenty of first meets and reunions with current WWE members. In a recent edition of “The Nikki and Brie Show”, Nikki specifically recalled meeting fellow former Divas Champion Natalya, who Nikki also considers unofficial family.
“Nattie is just a sister for life,” Nikki said. “Everyone looked so amazing. Nattie looked amazing. Nattie and I, even though we still stay in touch, we FaceTime and call each other and stuff, but even though it’s been years of us see in person, even when we see each other, we always say that it’s like we saw each other yesterday.
“We never miss a beat of the conversations, the hugs, the laughs,” Nikki added. “So Nattie will always be my favorite person to see. She’s right at home. We started with Nattie (in WWE). Literally, we’ve been close to Nattie since 2007. She’s family. She’s a sister , so I was so happy to be with Nattie.
As Nikki mentioned, she and her sister Brie Bella signed with WWE the same year as Natalya, later coming together under the banner of Florida Championship Wrestling, one of WWE’s developmental territories. Over the next decade, Natalya and the Bella Twins became regular fixtures on the main roster throughout the company’s PG and Reality Eras. The three also starred in the reality show “Total Divas,” which launched in 2013.
