Unfortunately despite all of the wrestling and reality television fans that have been complaining about Nikki Bella’s unabashed materialism and alleged backstage politicking, her public persona appears to be evolving and transcending the confines of WWE. Most recently, Bella stepped out with boyfriend John Cena for an appearance before a women’s group in Tampa Bay, Florida. 24Wrestling and several other sports entertainment news outlets report that Nikki spoke before an audience at The Helen Gordon Davis Centre For Women on October 15, discussing women’s empowerment and the difficulties faced by female performers in the male-dominated wrestling industry.

On their official Facebook page, The Helen Gordon Davis Centre For Women posted an account of Nikki Bella’s appearance, noting that the audience was comprised mostly of ladies involved in a program that helps women gain experience in “non-traditional” fields like the construction industry.
“In a rare speaking appearance, Nikki Bella “Professional Wrestler with the WWE”, talked about the concept of empowering women at The Helen Gordon Davis Centre for Women. She spoke about her experience in becoming established in her field of work that is male dominated and how she earned her respect in a dream-come-true job for her. Nikki’s goal is to “give back and help other women find success in their respective fields”. She spoke to about 50 people, participants in the Centre’s Women Building Futures (WBF) program which helps women to learn the construction trades, another non-traditional field for women, along with supporters and sponsors of WBF.”

In one of her posts on her Instagram account, Nikki said she hopes to do similar speaking engagements in the future for fellow women.
“Today I took one step forward in conquering my dream. It was scary, I was nervous, but I was so happy I did it. I learned so much. You will definitely see more of my motivational speaking in the future!”

Although Nikki Bella has her sights set on making a difference in the lives of women outside the ring, many female grapplers have accused her of engaging in career-damaging politics backstage. Back in early 2013, former WWE Diva Maria Kanellis publicly accused Bella of sabotaging her return to WWE. In an interview with WrestlingINC, Kanellis said that Nikki Bella was jealous of her because they were both friends with Dolph Ziggler and subsequently dissuaded WWE’s top brass from offering her a contract.
“There’s no real reason to talk to her.” Kanellis said of Nikki Bella. “She’s not worth my time. She took something from me and it wasn’t a man, or it wasn’t a piece of candy, it was a contract. It’s my career and I think for me, that’s probably the worst thing you can do, is mess with my money.”

Over the summer, rumors also surfaced alleging that John Cena was actively involved in an effort to discourage WWE from taking the company’s women’s title from Nikki Bella and giving the strap to Charlotte. Charlotte ultimately won the WWE Divas title at Night of Champions in September.

It is currently being planned by WWE to groom Nikki Bella to take on a “feminist role model” character and will lead the female division, along with plans of putting her over in a feud against Sasha Banks, reasoning that she is “far more marketable than Sasha Banks and a better role model for younger women”.
