I wish Nikki Bella were a better actor.
Nikki Bella is dragging this whole program down with her inability to improve at all when it comes to promos. Like, since DAY ONE she’s been a toilet fire when she’s called upon to emote like a human woman. She set Natalya back a decade, who was shaky at best already, just by being around her.
The Miz doesn’t deserve this. He had the best year of his career. He made the Intercontinental Championship seem important again, and he’s a top shelf heel.
Maryse doesn’t deserve this; she’s the been the smartest, most dedicated, and most effective valet in a decade.
Even John Cena doesn’t deserve this. He’s been pretty great this year when he shows up. But at Wrestlemania, just when he’s finally getting interesting again, he’s stuck holding Nikki’s hand and guiding her through a rumoured “last match” retirement thing.
Nikki’s supposed to be the good guy here, so when Miz and Maryse say a bunch of pretty much true stuff about her and John, she stands up to them. The problem is, Nikki standing up for herself and John looks a lot a bully yelling at the nerds because they finally made her look stupid. She’s all frustrated because she's the butt of the wrestling equivalent of a math joke, so all she does is screech and whine and be way too dramatic to be a concerning threat. Other than she’s John Cena’s legal girlfriend.
What makes it worse is this is the ONLY reaction Nikki has to ANYTHING. This should be a fun, inter-gender match for Nikki and John to have during her last hurrah, and Miz and Maryse to sit back and pat themselves on the back for being the ACTUAL WWE power couple. Nikki doesn’t have enough TV shows where she’s the star, so we have to listen to her build this match. It’s rough. And she’s probably going to get a public marriage proposal for her efforts. I hate wrestling.
