Nikki Bella challenged for the WWE Women’s World Championship at Survivor Series: WarGames against the champion Stephanie Vaquer. The match did not go her way and seemed a bit clunky for many fans. However, the WWE Hall of Famer discussed her thoughts about the match, so let’s take a closer look at what she said.
Nikki Bella Explains Match vs. Stephanie Vaquer
While discussing the match on ‘The Nikki & Brie Show“, WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella discussed the issues in her match for the Women’s World Championship against Stephanie Vaquer.
“I knew where we were at on the card. We were in the difficult spot. I knew we weren’t going to have a lot of time, and we had to tell a specific story. For me, the one thing that I was told was, ‘We need super heelish.’ What they realized going into it was, if you didn’t watch the past few weeks, you would have no idea that I was a heel. They were afraid that I might go out and be a babyface. The nice thing is that we had a package before that showed my heel turn.
“They were like, ‘We need heel Nikki.’ I haven’t been heel Nikki since before I broke my neck and I’m like, ‘Damn, I’m doing all these things in the moment live.’ It’s one thing when you’re doing all the live events and you can change things. This is what I told myself, ‘We’re doing bad bitch energy. At the end of the day, it’s all about confidence and when your music hits, you’re going to go out there and have all that confidence. You’re going to be this person and that’ll get you into that moment. Go as slow as you want doing your walk. You own it.”
The match between Nikki Bella and Stephanie Vaquer did not go as well as people were hoping for, but Vaquer would emerge victorious to retain her championship. It will be interesting to see if and when Bella returns to WWE television next and what she will do going forward.
