During the debut episode of their new podcast, The Bellas Podcast, Nikki Bella talked about the coming to the decision that was best to retire from pro wrestling.
She wasn’t allowed to talk about the real reason due to corporate decision making whether this was a WWE or E! decision. It comes down to her neck and the injury history that she has with it.
“Something we really couldn’t air on Total Bellas is that people didn’t realize how hard my comeback was for me to go back to a place that I called home and met the love of my life.”
She continued, “[…] when they showed you that I made the decision [to retire] because I couldn’t hang with the girls in the ring anymore, what they also don’t air—because they never want me to talk about my neck—is … it’s because of my neck.”
“You saw what happened to Paige,” Nikki said. “Paige and I have the same hardware. So if I was to get kicked in the back of the head, I would get paralyzed too or even worse.”
