Fully paid-up member since FCW 2008. A difference of perspective - to which we are all entitled - but to be clear, some of the personal abuse that gets sent to Nikki on here is reprehensible and completely out of line, so let’s cut that out immediately," he wrote.The 41-year-old challenged Becky Lynch for the Women's Intercontinental Championship at WWE Clash in Paris but came up short in the match.

It was something that didn't click there. Out of all the matches on that card, that was the match that I was very blasé in watching. The timing... Joe Lowry, one of our Sportskeeda staff here, said that he thought he saw like a gash on Nikki Bella's thigh. I don't know, I didn't go back and look. But I don't know if Bella was really ready for the big spotlight just yet, and it was so big," said Apter.
