What’s the story?
Nikki Bella turned down the opportunity to appear on the latest season of Dancing With The Stars in favour of focusing on her WWE return. The news was revealed on the most recent episode of E! Network’s Total Divas.
In case you didn’t know...
Dancing With The Stars is an American television show, and the concept is fairly obvious given the name. A string of celebrities swap their regular lives for the dancefloor in an attempt to impress the judges and take home the title at the end of the season. Some fans may be familiar with the show courtesy of Chris Jericho’s stint on it a few years back.
The heart of the matter
On the aforementioned episode of Total Divas, Nikki had the following to say to her agent when it came to actually accepting the opportunity.
'I'm ... I'm gonna pass. I know it's an amazing opportunity, but I just ... I really want my comeback to be in that ring and nowhere else.''
Given when the show was filmed we have yet to see her actual return to the ring which, as we all know, has now taken place.

What’s next?
It’ll be interesting to see whether or not they show Nikki getting back inside the squared circle before the end of the season, but in terms of her current trajectory, there’s a chance that The Fearless One could end up on DWTS after all. It seems as if she’s taking even longer off from the ring this time round, so a run on the show wouldn’t be entirely out of the question.
Author’s take
It seems as if Nikki going on DWTS would’ve suited her down to a tee, but we’re glad that she decided to return to the ring instead. She got a series of good pops during her latest run, and no matter what anyone else says, the proposal at WrestleMania was a heart-warming moment for fans of Total Divas and Nikki herself.
