Nikki and Brie Bella took to social media tonight (scroll down for the video) to call out WWE for not showcasing “anything from the women’s evolution.”
Nikki said that it’s “because Sasha Banks is in it and we can’t. Mercedes is too over and we can’t say her name.” Mercedes Mone was featured in the opening video package that kicked off the show but there was not much female representation from former talent.
In fact, the only female WWE Legend on the show tonight was Madusa/Alundra Blayze, who was in the poker segments that aired from the backstage area. Nikki and Brie Bella were originally advertised for the show but for reasons that are not known yet, they were pulled from ads sometime within the last week or so.
At the end of the video, Nikki said, “When you do what they don’t wanna do…” apparently alluding to something they or others might have done or not done to get on the bad side of WWE management.
