Nikki Bella wants her own John Cena moment.
The Bella Twins made their return to WWE programming this past Friday Night on SmackDown. They cost Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair their match against the current Tag Team Champions Nia Jax and Lash Legend. This comes after they hinted at going after the belts following Brie Bella's Royal Rumble return.
The sisters talked about their goals in this latest run on the newest episode of their podcast. During the talk, Nikki Bella expressed frustration with female stars never getting a send-off from the company:
For me, I don't think you and I will ever get that last retirement moment that John got and AJ Styles got, let's be honest, the men get, right? I don't think you and I will ever get that,
I Don't Think We Will: Nikki Bella
WWE has seen a number of retirements over the last year. Following Goldberg and John Cena, AJ Styles became the latest name to get a promoted final match at the company at Royal Rumble. Styles then made an appearance at the February 23 Raw for a farewell in his hometown of Atlanta, Georgia and he was announced as the latest inductee in Hall of Fame during the show.
Nikki Bella revealed that the Twins signed a two-year contract with WWE starting with the Saudi PPV and suggested that the period will mark the end of their wrestling careers. The wrestling veteran then said that she would love to be able to say goodbye to fans in a similar fashion to the male stars:
But I would love to have that because I do know that the contract that we signed, you know, we signed a two-year deal starting Royal Rumble and for you and I, the talks we've had and what I know just where I'm at, that's it.
That will be the end for me and for us and I would love, because I need the buttons on things, right? I would love to have them on. I would love to put my kicks, my snapback, my jersey right in the middle of that ring and just give that final bow, so I don't know if we'll ever get that. I don't think we will, but is that what you were?
Do you think WWE should provide an equal opportunity to female stars when it comes to a proper farewell? Let us know in the comments below.
