WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella was not in motion at Clash in Italy because of her ankle injury. She has been on the sidelines since WrestleMania 42, where a returning Paige replaced her to win the Women\u2019s Tag Team Championship with Brie Bella.<\/p>\n

In a recent episode of \u201cThe Nikki & Brie Show<\/a>,\u201d Nikki noted that she had pitched an idea of \u201cCiao Bella\u201d segments for the Clash in Italy. The previous WWE Divas Champion said,<\/p>\n

\u201cI at first thought I used to be going to be at Clash in Italy, not obviously performing, but Reno\u2019s \u2014 I pitched this incredible idea called Ciao Bella. I used to be like, hey guys, I might love to do that. Whether it\u2019s pre-show, like once we used to do those fun promo business things for PLE, or simply make it social.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI had where I titled it Ciao Bella \u2019cause obviously Bella and being in Italy and Brie and I even have Italian, but where I\u2019d have these different moments with WWE superstars. So like there can be a moment where I\u2019m on just like the Italian scooter with Danhausen and his skirt and his scarf is like flying in my face.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThen it cuts to love having a moment with Brie and Paige and having Aperol Spritz with the tag team champions. After which I\u2019d be on a gondola ride with Gunther and like he\u2019s just staring straight being GUNTHER. And I\u2019m like looking around like totally Emily in Paris. Like what\u2019s happening. This one gave me the concept of like Emily in Rome, like me totally being like an Emily with WWE superstars.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Did WWE Creative Like Nikki Bella\u2019s Idea?<\/h3>\n

Moreover, Nikki Bella revealed that the WWE management liked her idea. Nevertheless, the plan ultimately never materialized. She continued,<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter which the gondolier is like, one other WWE superstar that\u2019s either giving me the looks or he\u2019s someone that hates GUNTHER. After which I even have this other moment where Oba (Femi) and I are getting gelato and trying to try a selfie with him, and clearly the peak difference. But then Judgement Day comes and slaps our gelato out of our hands. How dare they, how dare they?\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I had all these fun little segment ideas with all these WWE superstars that were very Italian and fun and gave you the Emily in Paris vibes because obviously you\u2019ll watch Clash in Italy. It\u2019s Netflix international. So I believed, oh my gosh, this could be all so fun.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd so they showed interest, like I used to be going back with the team and so they really liked the concept. Then I\u2019m walking down the road, and so they keep going, Ciao Bella, Ciao Bella, \u2019cause they do this in Italy. After which I take a pause, and I’m going, \u2018Oh my God, I\u2019m like so famous here.\u2019 But obviously it\u2019s because they call everyone Bella, but I believe it\u2019s oh because I\u2019m Nikki Bella. So it was cute, and so they all loved it but then fell through, so which is simply too bad.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
