Nikki Bella says she received a backstage ovation after her match at WWE Clash in Paris

While speaking on her podcast with sister Brie, Nikki Bella addressed her match against women’s Intercontinental champion Becky Lynch at WWE Clash in Paris…

“I’ll be honest, I am so proud of myself, because you know it’s been hard, as you know, living where I live, hands-on mom, full-time mom. When I’m mom, I’m single mom, and then running two companies and having all the things, but also making my comeback a priority too. But nothing will be more priority than Matteo.”

“And I was so proud of myself. And it was really cute because when I came back, they all were clapping for me, and it was really special. And obviously there are two spots [I’m] bummed about. Like I can say the volley kick, you know, and you know what, that stuff happens. It happens. No one’s perfect.”

“What was funny is I saw people writing about the crowd, but I was already warned before I went out that this might be a very pro-Becky crowd. I was warned also in Birmingham… I was actually shocked when they were cheering me in the beginning, because I wasn’t expecting that at all. I thought they were going to boo me out of the gates.”

“And it was cute because I got a lot of people pulled me aside and told me great things. Like I was so on cloud nine back there and I was really happy, and I’m excited to know where I’m going, like moving forward. And I’ve been getting—let me tell you—because we have to remember this hate is very small. Even though they right now feel very loud for me, but it’s so small.”
