Nikki Bella Turned Down Special Perk Upon WWE Return


WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella significantly returned to the company on the July 7 episode of Monday Night Raw. Her appearance created a major buzz, leading to an in-ring confrontation with Women’s Tag Team Champion Liv Morgan.

While the on-screen moment was a highlight of the show, new details have come out about Bella’s humble attitude behind the scenes. Her fellow superstar Natalya revealed that the returning legend turned down a special perk WWE offered her.

A Humble Return Behind The Scenes

As a returning Hall of Famer, Nikki Bella was offered her private locker room for the show. This is a common courtesy extended to legends and top-tier talent.

However, in a recent interview with the Toronto Sun, Natalya revealed that Bella declined the offer and chose to be with the rest of the women on the roster.

Natalya Praises Nikki Bella’s Locker Room Decision

Natalya explained the situation and praised her friend’s decision. She detailed how WWE was prepared to give Bella the full VIP treatment.

“They wanted to get Nikki her own locker room, they were like ‘We’re going to get Nikki Bella her own room, she’s going to have her own space, we’ll put a fruit tray in there.’

She goes, ‘No. I don’t want to change in my own locker room,’ this is what I love about Nikki, she goes ‘I want to change with the rest of the girls.’ She’s like ‘I want to be in the locker room with the rest of the girls because that’s the most special place to be, it’s about being with the girls,’ so she was in the locker room with us.”

The Importance Of Sisterhood In WWE

Natalya continued, speaking on how much the gesture meant to the locker room. She said the other women loved seeing her back in that environment.

“It was so fun because she was in the locker room. The girls just loved seeing her, it was just like she was right back in the groove, she hadn’t missed a beat. That’s the thing that people don’t see behind the scenes of what we do, it’s a sisterhood. We don’t all have to love each other, we don’t all have to get along 24/7, but at the end of the day, we’re a group of women that really love and respect each other and Nikki understood that. She didn’t want her own room, she wanted to be with us, and I loved that and I made sure that she looked perfect before she went out.”
