Following her heel turn on Stephanie Vaquer at the November 10 Monday Night RAW in Boston, Nikki Garcia aka Nikki Bella is embracing a new attitude and pushing back against fan criticism. Speaking on SiriusXM’s The Nikki and Brie Show, Nikki addressed the “hateful chants” she received from the Boston crowd.
‘The Hate Is So Gross’
“The hate is so gross. Even some of the chants that I got last night, like it’s the same-” Nikki said. Brie added, “Okay, I thought I heard some chants I didn’t like when I was watching.” Nikki admitted she was so focused, she “didn’t even hear it” until her family mentioned it to her later. While the exact chants were not specified, reports from the Boston event noted fans chanting “You f—ed up!” during other segments of the show.
‘I Know What My Worth Is’
Nikki also spoke about her dedication to the business, revealing the sacrifices she makes that fans do not see. “You know, it’s not like I come on here and always say like, “Oh, when I had two days free where I didn’t have my son, I flew to Orlando just to get in the ring for five hours to fly straight back.” You know, I don’t talk about all that stuff all the time, but the people that know that know, and I truly love this business and I want to give it my all.”
She referenced recent comments from WWE star Big E, who praised her heel turn on the Raw Recap show, saying he wanted to see a “ruthless” Nikki Bella who was “going after world titles.” Nikki’s new attitude seems to align with that.
“I really loved what Big E said because yeah. I don’t need to just sit around and always put people over. I know what I can do now. I know what my worth is and you’re going to start to hear it a lot more, and so you’ll wait for Monday for that.”
