You see that even after we went at one another on social media last week, because once I was watching, I used to be like, \u2018Excuse me.\u2019 You naturally saw the engagement immediately, so you possibly can tell there\u2019s unfinished business there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd truthfully, I&#8217;d love my last story to be with Rhea Ripley. I&#8217;d like to have that together with her, and I hope I get to be mixed in with a number of the recent girls, too, on my way out. Like Blake Monroe could be one other one. Between Blake and Rhea on my way out. With Blake, I really like once I have a look at people to get in good stories with. I have a look at what can I take advantage of personally to bring up, and with all those girls, there\u2019s past stuff that we get to bring into it. Even with Blake Monroe. And that\u2019s when stuff is gold. After I saw the women\u2019 promo last week, Judgment Day, and Brie and Paige, I\u2019m like, \u2018Yes, that is what I\u2019m talking about.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlthough I used to be like, \u201cOw, you guys are so mean,\u2019 that\u2019s the stuff I really like. Get personal. We\u2019re not here to not hurt feelings. That is wrestling. Go hurt feelings. I\u2019m sorry, but that is what sells. To get the emotion, it\u2019s what gets people invested and connected. Because I believe of real life for people. People cope with bosses, employees, neighbors that they get issues with, and friends they&#8217;ve falling-outs with. So we are able to\u2019t be nice. We&#8217;ve got to make people feel like, \u2018Oh, that\u2019s like my neighbor. I hate him, and now I\u2019m gonna boo him.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>On potentially staying past the top of her current deal: <\/strong>\u201cNever say never. Truthfully, it\u2019s all going to rely on my body, how I feel I look within the ring in comparison with others. I\u2019m essentially the most aware person ever, and I don\u2019t ever wish to take spots from people. I&#8217;m there to raise, bring equity, and if I feel like I can\u2019t hang, guess what? I\u2019m not going to go hang. I\u2019m not going to go pretend I can. We\u2019ll see how I&#8217;m at that time in life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>On a possible General Manager role: <\/strong>\u201cWWE will all the time be my home, so I all the time hope to be an element of it in a roundabout way. Perhaps transition to GM, because I feel like we want some Stephanie McMahon vibes back in there. There\u2019s nothing like a bitchy woman who\u2019s on top of things, so that you never know.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf I feel just like the body is like, \u2018Okay, we\u2019re good, but suit me up and let me run the show,\u2019 I\u2019d try this. Or if there was another position in the best way of helping the ladies, I&#8217;d try this as well. But I just think we\u2019ll must wait till we get there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>On her return timeline:<\/strong> \u201cTBD. Until we get a glance inside again through X-rays and MRIs, you only don\u2019t know. I\u2019m hoping in June in some unspecified time in the future, and that\u2019s why I\u2019m working really hard on getting my strength back.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nikki Bella has shared some necessary updates profession for fans.
